Have you ever looked at your husband and wondered, Where did the passion go?

I used to believe that passion naturally faded over time. I thought once you got past the honeymoon phase, things just settled into a comfortable, but boring, routine.

But I was wrong.

Passion doesn’t disappear—it just needs polarity to thrive.

Men are drawn to feminine energy—not in a superficial way, but in a way that makes them feel like men. The problem? I had lost touch with my feminine energy.

I was in control mode all the time—making decisions, managing schedules, and handling everything. I was stuck in my masculine energy, and it left no space for my husband to step into his.

So I made a shift.

I softened. I let him take the lead on small things. I allowed myself to be playful, flirtatious, and lighthearted again.

And suddenly, the passion was BACK.

He started initiating intimacy more. He pulled me in for unexpected kisses. He looked at me the way he did when we first fell in love.

If you want to reignite the passion in your marriage, start by reconnecting with your feminine energy. It’s the secret sauce that keeps the spark alive.

I used to feel like I had to do everything.

The dishes, the laundry, the kids’ schedules, the grocery shopping—it all fell on me. And I was exhausted.

I tried asking for help, but it usually came out as nagging.

"Can you PLEASE just put your dishes in the sink?"

"Why am I the only one who notices when the trash is full?"

"You never help unless I remind you."

And guess what? The more I nagged, the less he wanted to help.

Then, I discovered a better way.

Instead of nagging, I expressed gratitude for the things he already did—even the small ones.

"Thank you for taking out the trash—I really appreciate it."

"I love when you load the dishwasher. It makes my day so much easier."

At first, it felt weird. But almost immediately, I noticed something: He started doing MORE.

Men want to feel like they’re winning in marriage. When they feel appreciated, they naturally step up.

If you want more help, start by noticing what he’s already doing right. You’ll be amazed at what happens next.

Do you ever wonder why your husband used to do all the romantic things—plan dates, bring you flowers, write you sweet notes—but now it feels like that’s all disappeared?

I used to think my husband had just changed—that the excitement of our early years had faded and this was just how marriage worked.

But then I learned something shocking: Men stop doing romantic things when they feel like they can’t win.

In the early days of our relationship, I was over-the-moon about everything he did. When he planned a date, I gushed about how amazing it was. When he held my hand, I melted. He felt like my hero.

But over time, without even realizing it, I started criticizing instead of appreciating.

"Why did you pick this restaurant?"

"I don’t really like roses—why didn’t you get me tulips?"

"That date was fun, but I wish we did something more exciting."

I thought I was just sharing my opinions, but to him, it felt like nothing he did was good enough. So he stopped trying.

Once I realized this, I made a change.

I started celebrating every little effort—even if it wasn’t perfect. When he brought home my favorite snack, I smiled and told him how thoughtful he was. When he planned a simple date, I leaned into the fun instead of nitpicking.

The more I appreciated, the more he did.

Romance isn’t dead—it just needs appreciation to thrive.

Nothing feels more painful than when the man you love seems distant.

Maybe he used to text you throughout the day, but now he barely responds. Maybe your deep conversations have turned into one-word answers. Maybe he doesn’t seem as excited to spend time with you anymore.

I remember feeling this way and panicking. My instinct was to chase him down emotionally—to ask what was wrong, to try harder to engage him, to overcompensate for the distance I felt.

But the more I tried to pull him close, the further away he drifted.

Then, I learned something life-changing: Men need space to reconnect.

Instead of chasing, I leaned back.

I focused on my own happiness instead of obsessing over his withdrawal. I took a step back, let go of my need for constant reassurance, and trusted that he would return to me.

And he did.

The more I allowed him space, the more he started initiating again. He reached for my hand, he asked how my day was, and he came back on his own—without me forcing it.

If your husband seems distant, resist the urge to chase. Lean back, focus on yourself, and watch him come toward you.

I used to think I had to do it all.

I was the one managing the household, making decisions, and keeping everything running smoothly. The problem? My husband seemed perfectly fine letting me take over everything—and I resented him for it.

I nagged. I reminded. I tried to explain why he should help more. But instead of stepping up, he withdrew. The more I pushed, the more distant he became.

I felt exhausted, alone, and frustrated. I wondered why he wasn’t the man I had married anymore.

Then I found the Six Intimacy Skills™, and everything changed.

I learned that my constant control was actually blocking my husband from stepping up. I had been unknowingly communicating that I didn’t trust him to lead, so he stopped trying.

So I did something radical—I let go.

I stopped micromanaging. I stopped criticizing. And most importantly, I started focusing on my own happiness instead of trying to control his actions.

At first, it was terrifying. But within weeks, I saw my husband transform. He started making plans, taking the lead, and surprising me in ways I never expected.

Now? I feel cherished, adored, and lighter than ever. I never realized how much control was weighing me down until I let it go.

If you feel like you’re doing everything in your marriage and still aren’t getting what you need, the answer isn’t to do more. It’s to do less—gracefully. And that’s where the real magic happens.

Have you ever felt invisible in your own marriage?

Like the man who once adored you has slowly drifted away?

I remember the day I realized my husband had stopped looking at me the way he used to. The man who once hung on my every word was suddenly glued to his phone at dinner. The affection, the laughter, the connection—it all felt like a distant memory.

I tried everything to get his attention. I asked him what was wrong. I got upset. I even tried to guilt him into noticing me.

Nothing worked.

Then, I learned something that changed everything: Men are drawn to happy women.

I had spent so much time feeling frustrated and unloved that I had completely lost sight of my happiness. I was so focused on what my husband wasn’t doing that I had stopped doing the things that made me feel alive.

So, I made a shift.

Instead of waiting for my husband to make me happy, I started doing things that made me feel good—just for me. I took dance classes, I started journaling again, and I stopped complaining about the little things.

The result? My husband noticed immediately.

He started complimenting me again. He put his phone down and listened when I spoke. He started reaching for my hand in the car.

All because I shifted my focus from getting love to simply being love.

If you want your husband to cherish you again, start by cherishing yourself. It’s the most powerful shift you can make.

We all want to feel loved in our marriage. But what if I told you that respect is just as important?

I used to think respect meant agreeing with my husband all the time or never voicing my opinion. But that’s not real respect—it’s people-pleasing.

True respect means trusting your husband’s judgment, even when he does things differently than you would. It means refraining from criticism and instead choosing words that uplift rather than tear down.

When I first heard this concept, I thought, But what if he makes the wrong decision? What if I know better?

Here’s the truth: Men thrive when they feel respected. When they don’t, they withdraw, shut down, or get defensive.

Once I started practicing respect—by biting my tongue when I wanted to correct him, by thanking him for his efforts instead of pointing out his flaws—everything changed.

He became more engaged. He started seeking out my opinion more instead of shutting me out. And, most importantly, I felt more loved than ever.

If you’re struggling in your marriage, ask yourself: Am I treating my husband like the capable man he is? Or am I treating him like one of my kids?

Shifting from criticism to respect was the best thing I ever did for my marriage. Try it, and watch your husband light up.

Have you ever wished your husband would be more affectionate? Maybe you miss the days when he couldn’t keep his hands off you, or you long for those spontaneous hugs, kisses, and sweet words.

I used to feel the same way. I thought if I just told my husband what I needed—if I explained how important affection was to me—he would start giving me more.

But instead, my requests sounded more like complaints.

"Why don’t you ever hug me anymore?"

"I wish you’d kiss me like you used to."

"You never say you love me first."

What I didn’t realize was that my words, however well-intentioned, were actually pushing him away rather than drawing him in.

Then, I made a simple shift.

Instead of focusing on what he wasn’t doing, I started appreciating every little thing he did.

When he gave me a quick kiss before leaving for work, I smiled and said, "I love that." When he touched my back while passing by, I leaned into it. When he told me he loved me, I let it sink in instead of brushing it off.

The result? He started doing more.

Men love to make their wives happy, but they need to know their efforts are appreciated. If you want more affection, start by noticing and celebrating what he’s already doing.

Affection grows in an atmosphere of gratitude—not in one of criticism.
