330: The Respect Myth That Was Ruining My Marriage

from The Empowered Wife Podcast: Marriage Help with Laura Doyle · host Laura Doyle

Bassie believed respect had to be earned. So she waited 30 years for her husband to earn it. She thought she could motivate him by pointing out what he needed to work on—his harsh behavior, the problems with their car and their struggling finances. Instead, it drained the intimacy from their marriage, and each anniversary served as a reminder of what was still not right.  Then her husband lost the most prestigious job of his career. Bassie's anger exploded, and she realized she had reached the darkest moment of their marriage. For the first time in 30 years, she decided to change her approach, and the pattern between them began to change. Today, Bassie feels a lightness she's never experienced before. Her husband surprises her with diamond jewelry, fills her gas tank, and calls himself her knight in shining armor. Their empty nest years are romantic and deeply connected. If you're waiting for your husband to step up, Bassie's story shows what might be possible if you're willing to consider a different perspective.
