How to Ask for What You Want in Marriage

Getting what you want in your marriage is important. The whole world depends on strong families, which means strong marriages, which means it’s important to feel that your desires are being met.

Because life gets tedious when you’re going day after day without ever feeling like you’re getting what you want. It makes everything feel gray, and your husband can seem like a giant disappointment for not caring what you want. It’s sad and lonely.

On today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we’re talking about how to ask for what you want in marriage:

  • I’ll share the symptoms of not knowing how to express your desires in a way that inspires.
  • My guest Frances and her husband each had their own divorce attorneys. After all the anger and hurt in their marriage, they were both “done.” But then Frances started a practice that not only stopped all the fighting, it also caused her husband to stop the divorce proceedings altogether. Now she says her marriage is so good she wouldn’t trade it for anything, and her husband says she makes him want to be his best self. They are both ridiculously happy! She’s going to tell us the steps she took to get her miracle.
  • The Worst Relationship Advice of the Week is from a trending news story about how to decide if you can trust your partner. I think you’ll see why this conventional wisdom made me hopping mad!

  1. What if I say I’d love to have something and he answers “I’m sure you’re able to do it”? Not sarcastic or anything, just “I believe in you” kind of way that’s sweet but also frustrating

    • Hi Katy,

      Kudos for experimenting with this!

      That does sound frustrating to share your heart and not get the response you hoped for. I’ve been there and felt stuck too, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

      I’d love to invite you to check out The Adored Wife Roadmap and from there I can share more with you about how to fix this and get back to a playful, passionate marriage.

      Warmly,
      Coach Brenda
