LISTEN TO THE SHOW:
WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY HUSBAND TO LISTEN TO ME?
Having the same conversation again and again, the one that turns into an argument or a cold war every time, gets old fast.
But when your husband isn’t holding up his end of the parenting, finances or household maintenance, you end up stuck holding the bag, which is exhausting.
You’re likely to get resentful if you don’t say something, but what if he gets irritable whenever you mention a particular topic?
Or, what if every time you bring it up, it isn’t a good time? What if he just won’t listen?
If he’ll never talk about it, how will things ever get better?
It can make you feel hopeless.
Today on the podcast I’m sharing:
- How to Get Your Husband to Listen: 4 Ways to Speak the Language Husbands Like and Understand
- Marriage counseling didn’t help my guest Sue with her third marriage…until the counselor wrote something on a post-it note. Now, her marriage is loving, respectful, intimate, comfortable and optimistic. She’ll describe how she did it.
- The Worst Relationship Advice of the Week is so popular that it’s part of the language. But it didn’t work for me and it didn’t work for the listener who sent it in either.
What if your husband gets annoyed when you thank him or show appreciation for things? This is a regular issue, and it often leads to full-on fights. Help?!
Hi T.B.,
Oof, that sounds painful and confusing for sure.
I remember feeling bewildered by my husband’s responses to me and how frustrating and disappointing that was. Now I feel way more in sync and treasured by him. I can’t remember the last cold war so I know it doesn’t have to stay like this for you either.
Have you gotten The Adored Wife Roadmap yet? I’d invite you to start there so you can stop the fighting and get back to a playful, passionate marriage.
You got this,
Coach Brenda
