My Story

Hi, I’m Jennifer, and I am a recovering control addict. Within a few years of marriage, I found myself feeling like a stranger to my husband despite sharing a home and child. I had pent up resentment and felt afraid of the future.

 

The turning point came when I opened myself to learn what I could do to change myself and my perspective. Discovering The Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle gave me a framework that felt empowering and hopeful. It wasn't about losing myself, but becoming my favorite self and finding a better way to connect.

 

By implementing simple but powerful changes—stopping complaints, expressing gratitude, truly listening, and prioritizing self-care—I began to transform.

 

Today, my marriage is marked by affection, consideration, and playfulness. I feel like a team with my husband, and I feel so full it’s as good as I can stand!

 

If you're struggling in your marriage and feeling hopeless, know that renewal is possible. Tens of thousands of women have found passion and connection with coaching in Laura Doyle's Intimacy Skills. I hope that you’ll discover, like I did, that your marriage story isn't over—it is just beginning.
