I was so happy to be a wife and full of anticipation about the life we would create together.<\/p>\n<p>However, our marital bliss didn\u2019t last for long.<\/p>\n<p>Life seemed to have dealt us an unfair hand. Two weeks before our wedding, my mother had a massive stroke that left her with severe aphasia. The next year, my parents divorced.<\/p>\n<p>I soon found myself responsible for taking care of my mother, helping my two sisters finish high school, and mediating between my parents. To top that off, we had tons of debt from college loans, pressure to succeed in our new careers, a couple moves, not to mention all our past baggage.<\/p>\n<p>We were up a creek without a paddle, and I began to feel incredibly helpless and sad. The only way to numb the pain was to control anything and everything that I could.<\/p>\n<p>This included my husband, who, unfortunately, would not be controlled.

My husband drank too much at a company dinner and ended up sleeping with his coworker. A few days later, with tears streaming down his face, he told me what had happened.<\/p>\n<p>I was absolutely devastated and felt so betrayed. I had to ask myself, &#8220;What in the world did I do to make him feel like this was a good choice?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t make sense of what had happened, but I knew that somehow I had played a part in it.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, I came across some verses I had heard a million times, but for some reason, they sounded different this time: \u201cLove is patient, love is kind, love is slow to anger, love believes the best, love always trusts\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I had to stop and ask myself, \u201cDo I love like this?\u201d The answer was no and to be honest, I didn\u2019t know how. I prayed for direction and guidance.<\/p>\n<p>My prayers were quickly answered when a friend recommended a book now called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Empowered-Wife-Surprising-Attracting-Husband%C2%92s\/dp\/1944648380\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525485129&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the+empowered+wife\"><em>The Empowered Wife<\/em><\/a>. At first, the book was hard to read because it all felt so backwards. At the same time, reading this book was a huge relief. I could see myself on every page, and I didn\u2019t feel so alone anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I immediately put the 6 Intimacy Skills\u2122 to the test. Every day, I fought past all the doubts in my head, and I began to truly trust and respect my husband.<\/p>\n<p>He slowly transformed before my eyes. As I experimented with phrases like \u201cwhatever you think\u201d and \u201cI trust you,\u201d his confidence grew.<\/p>\n<p>When he asked which shirt to wear to dinner, I would say,<a href=\"https:\/\/lauradoyle.org\/blog\/how-to-respect-your-husband\/\"> \u201cWhatever you think.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When he told me different options he had for replacing the tires on my car, I said, \u201cI trust you&#8211;thank you for taking care of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And he wasn\u2019t the only person who changed&#8211;I did too! I became the loving, respectful woman I had always wanted to be. I began to feel good about myself and my choices.<\/p>\n<p>I learned how to identify my true desires. I was able to share with my husband how I wanted to work less, get away more in the winter, and start a family in a way that inspired him to make all of these desires realities in my life!<\/p>\n<p>Looking back over the years, my \u201chelpful\u201d suggestions and constant lack of trust sent the message that he wasn\u2019t good enough, smart enough, or capable. Trust and respect were the missing ingredients in our relationship.<\/p>\n<p>This was our path back to love.<\/p>\n<p>Now our marriage is full of intimacy, peace, friendship and safety. The best part of every day is coming home after work, knowing that the man who adores me more than anything in the world is behind that front door.<\/p>\n<p>As my husband likes to say, \u201cWe are living in a miracle!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Empowered Wife Rachel At the age of 20, I met my husband to be.
