Marriage & Money: Magnetize Your Man with Financial Intimacy
Why is financial intimacy such a big deal?
I got a wake-up call when the first 2,500 copies of my self-published book sold out fast.
I wanted to print more ASAP, but John thought we needed a bigger publisher instead.
I was not thrilled. How were we going to land a big publisher?
I just knew he was going to ruin my big chance! I wanted to steamroll him and hit “PRINT MORE BOOKS” right away.
But unfortunately for me, the book was about trusting your husband and respecting his thinking… and, well, that felt terribly inconvenient at the time.
So, I put my steamroller in park and decided to (gulp) be open to John’s terrifying thinking.
Next thing I knew, we had a literary agent and the visionary editor Doris Cooper from Simon & Schuster.
They got me on The Today Show with Katie Couric, and The Surrendered Wife debuted on The New York Times bestseller list, hit #1 on Amazon, and was translated into 19 languages in 30 countries.
Trusting John’s thinking didn’t ruin my chance. It made it bigger than I could’ve imagined.
That lesson taught me so much about love, respect, and humility, which is why I’m passionate about sharing resources like this week’s Empowered Wife Podcast.
It reveals the 4 common mistakes that block financial intimacy and the surprising solution that creates more abundance and connection—just like it did for me.
