One title jumped out at me: The Empowered Wife.<\/p>\n<p>The title struck a chord for me because, despite our marriage difficulties, my husband had refused to see a marriage counselor. He was so embittered.<\/p>\n<p>He was a pastor and had been married before. He had been willing to do whatever it took to save their marriage.<\/p>\n<p>The marriage counsellor had advised his wife that he was a misogynist and that there was no hope for the marriage. She had better just leave.<\/p>\n<p>Humiliation.<\/p>\n<p>So he raised his five children alone, until we met in an online chat room.<\/p>\n<p>It was love at first type. He was loving, strong, dark, handsome and just what I was looking for.<\/p>\n<p>He crossed the continent to join our families. Two adults, nine kids, umpteen pets and a free set of steak knives!<\/p>\n<p>Despite our love, it was hard work from the start. We had little time alone, a huge blended family and different ideas about everything! I became stressed, disappointed and negative. We argued.<\/p>\n<p>Or at least I did, but <a href=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/five-reasons-your-divorce-is-your-fault\/\">it was always his fault<\/a>! Wasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>I said some terrible things. Sometimes I swore and threw things.<\/p>\n<p>He was self-controlled and reserved. He stonewalled me. Once, he didn&#8217;t speak to me for two weeks. It was so lonely.<\/p>\n<p>After ten years, I was ready to leave. So, it seemed, was he. But I just couldn\u2019t go through with it. I had married, before God, for life.<\/p>\n<p>So there I was buying my book. The shop assistant laughed. \u201cI should buy ten of those!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I read at a nearby cafe. I consumed a lot of coffee and humble pie!<\/p>\n<p>I texted him, apologizing for my disrespect. For the first time in five days, he communicated. He said he loved me and hated fighting. I was blown away!<\/p>\n<p>I responded, thanking him for all the things I could. He replied that he really wanted to see me. So we met up the coast.<\/p>\n<p>The first day was amazing. We talked. I listened and was vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t last. On the way home, he criticized my driving and I exploded in return. The tensions were still there, just below the surface. I didn\u2019t know how to cultivate intimacy or how to respond to his criticism. I felt misunderstood, angry and helpless.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling like a failure, I secretly talked with a Laura Doyle coach. I realized that if I ever wanted to be a happily married, I needed the right education and support.<\/p>\n<p>I had several setbacks. My coaching group encouraged me to persevere.<\/p>\n<p>It took a long time for my husband to trust that I was really different. I was sometimes vaguely disrespectful, couching it in sweet talk, but his respectometer was so sensitive!<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I crossed the line, even slightly, he would drag out the old, hurtful catchphrase: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/how-to-stop-being-controlling-in-a-relationship\/\">You\u2019re so controlling<\/a>. Everyone says so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ouch!<\/p>\n<p>One day, after steadfastly refusing to be baited into a fight, I ironically yelled, \u201cI don\u2019t do this anymore!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to Valentine\u2019s Day. I wished my husband a Happy Valentine\u2019s Day. He grinned and said, \u201cIs it? Whoops!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The old, un-surrendered me would have responded angrily. This time, I grinned. \u201cEvery day is Valentine\u2019s Day with you,\u201d I said and waltzed out the door.<\/p>\n<p>Hours later, the rich perfume of the roses and a delicious dinner welcomed me home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deb Reid, LDC Relationship Coach Training Graduate \u201cI don\u2019t think I can do this anymore.\u201d I froze.
