The Empowered Wife, Updated and Expanded Edition: Six Surprising Secrets for Attracting Your Husband's Time, Attention, and Affection

Laura Doyle

Can a wife single-handedly bring a boring or broken marriage back to life? This improved and expanded edition of Laura Doyle's acclaimed First, Kill All the Marriage Counselors features real-life success stories from empowered wives who have done just that--and provides a step-by-step guide to revitalizing your own marriage.

Laura Doyle's marriage was in trouble, and couples counseling wasn't helping. On the brink of divorce, she decided to talk to women who'd been happily married for over a decade, and their advice stunned her. From it, she distilled Six Intimacy Skills--woman-centric practices that ended her overwhelm and resentment, restoring the playfulness and passion in her marriage.

Now an internationally-recognized relationship coach, Doyle has shared her secrets with women around the globe, saving thousands of marriages with her fresh, revolutionary approach.

Practical and counter-intuitive, the Six Intimacy Skills are about focusing on your own desires and transforming your own life--not bending over backwards to transform your husband.

Incorporating these skills will empower you to:

  • Attract his attention like a magnet when you relax more and do less
  • Receive affection not because you told him to make more of an effort, but because he naturally seeks you out
  • Feel more like yourself--and like yourself more

If you've been trying to "fix" your relationship and it's not working, maybe the problem was never you, or your husband, or even the two of you as a couple. Maybe the problem is that nobody ever taught you the skills you need to foster respect, tenderness, and consideration.

With humor and heart, The Empowered Wife shows you how to improve your relationship in ways you hadn't thought possible. You'll join a worldwide community of over 150,000 empowered wives who finally have the marriages they dreamed of when they said "I do."

About the Author

Doyle, Laura: -

New York Times bestselling author Laura Doyle was the perfect wife . . . until she actually got married. When she told her husband how to be tidier, more romantic and more ambitious, he avoided her. So she dragged him to marriage counseling, and nearly divorced him. In desperation, she asked happily married women for their secrets . . . And that's when she got her miracle. The man who wooed her returned.

Laura's books have been translated into 19 languages in 30 countries and started a worldwide movement of women who practice the 6 Intimacy Skills. She founded an international relationship coach training school, is the star of Empowered Wives on Amazon Prime, and the host of The Empowered Wife Podcast. Laura has appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America and The View. But the thing she's most proud of is her gratifying 33 year marriage with her hilarious husband John, who has been dressing himself since before she was born.
