Author Laura Doyle: STOP Controlling Your Husband! The Marriage Advice That Made Her Famous + Can Abusive Marriages Be Saved?

I sat down with Laura Doyle, bestselling author of The Surrendered Wife, to talk about how women can transform their marriages by relinquishing control, expressing desires with simple phrases like "I would love…," and trusting their husbands more. We covered her six intimacy skills, why she's skeptical of marriage counseling, the power of gratitude and self-care, and her controversial take that even deeply troubled marriages — including ones with abuse — can be saved. It's a conversation that'll challenge you, but Laura's message is clear: you have more power than you think.
