He’s Home!

I didn’t think it was possible. You kept telling me it was and even when I started to believe you, I think I still doubted. You never did. You are amazing and I would be divorced and alone and God knows what else.  Thank you for every tiny thing you have done for me. I will die knowing I met a human angel.  xoxox back at you!

Dear Ladies Who Want Their Husbands Home:

While my husband is not home (my choice! He wants to come home and I am not sure and Laurie is not happy with me and if she posts this, I will be happy cause it is the truth.) Yet I still know what you don’t. If you’re wondering if Laurie is a real caring miracle worker?YES! She is. I felt cared for and safe in some of the most darkest days and nights of my entire life. She stood by me and refused to let me curl in a ball and he did want to come home. NOTE: This is a bad ugly storm. And Laurie is not only your umbrella, but boat, your calm seas, your sunshine, your moon in the dark.  I believe God gave her to me. Well, us. 

MD, Florida 

18 Months, 1 week and 4 days!

From the moment he left till the day he came home it was just over 18 months but UNDER the date we gave him in your “My Grateful Book!!” I’m framing this! Thank you for helping me. I felt you gave me such special attention but then again, I’m sure you make everyone feel that way.  I love you Laurie.  I love you for saving my family.  Jenn S.

Something Weird Happened…

After the church service yesterday. I was standing with my wife, and some random man came up to me and right in front of my wife, he told me what a great father he thought I was! He said that he noticed me from across the room and thought it was clearly evident the love that I have for my children and how much they love me. It was magical! It was also a little awkward for him to be saying that to me right in front of my wife but man, she heard him and has talked about it all night! You are right Laurie!  Angels are working for us everywhere!

Dear Laurie,

To the most positive person I have ever thought could do this line of work. You are always so hopeful, do you ever have a bad day? My sister still isn’t talking to me and I will continue to Circle the Wagon even in my own family! Because I am not giving up on my husband! You are my beacon of light in my new shining bright light house, helping me to keep it lit for him to come home. I so appreciate you and everything you do for me and all of us! What an amazing woman you are!
You are helping us to become better people no matter what happens.
Lots of love and admiration,
Amy Jones

Hello Laurie!

I read the response you wrote for me to his Aunt. You write so so soooooo good. I definitely want to keep communication open on my side and my Aunt was still unsure.  Yet she was there when I sent your words to him. And guess what?!?!? He responded!  He had not responded to me in months! My aunt almost died. She had to have another drink! She loves you now. I’m still in shock. I now have to write him back. Can you help me with that too?

Loved Watching The Recording!

Loved watching the recording of the zoom! I felt super proud when your ‘Aussie friend’ was praised! That was me!  Thank you! I was just thinking, I describe myself to people as ‘Wonder Woman’ deflecting all the crap that’s coming at me, so it doesn’t destroy my soul, and so I can keep staying straight.  Which means remembering that I married a ‘strong man with a kind heart,‘ who, right now is a ‘lost man with a frozen heart.’ You help me, every day!

Just wanted to say Thank you!  Aussie -S

Your AMAZING Videos

I watch your videos every single dayt! You are the only person who gives me hope in this crazy situation. Every time I feel like giving in, I watch a video. And then I  feel better!  I need to be a better wife and less of a mother to him (which he wouldn’t need if his own mother had actually been 1/2 of the mother I am). Thank you thank you thank you!

He Came Home!

Something imploded with horseface and he came home with all his stuff earlier today! He’s home!!!  UGH! Am I happy?? Ugh! (I hope) for good!! Things have totally improved and I’m not making a big deal out of him being here. Yet after 4 yrs of the skanky girl horseface, I think she is done. 
Oh and remember when you told me to make a goal for my future??? Well a mini goal of mine (that I reset this year) (after waiting year after year and it not happening) was that hopefully by THIS wedding anniversary things would change… (and it did!) all within the 4 long years of his ILUBNILWY speech! It’s over!!!  I hope! I pray! He’s back!!  Yay! It is working!!! 
Keep you posted. Pray for me?  Jackie M.S.S.

Thank You!

Laurie,
Thank you for your time yesterday, You always make me feel being recharged after talking to you and hearing some advice from you. Thanks again. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Cynthia – Irvine

Grateful!

Dear Laurie,
I’m so grateful to have found you. You have such a calm, comforting and sassy way about you. I felt you now become a very good friend to me almost instantly. Thank you. I hope one day I meet you in person and hug you tight.

The Best Coach!

Hi Laurie, Just wanted to say you are the best. Thank you for all of your videos and your funny smart tips! My husband texted with me today and at one point he said he’s going to put back the money he hid from me. And I responded how I thought you would tell me to respond. And it worked!!  Your voice lives in my head and I can hear you talk to me often. Thank you for making me realize where I needed to work on myself!
Becky – Sacramento

Compliments Work!

Hey Laurie, I was at a store today and noticed that the cashier’s hair was pretty. And I thought of you saying that we should be kind to people and say nice things to others every day. So I told her that I loved her hair and asked her if it was naturally curly.
She said, “Wow. Yes. Thank you! You just made my day. I didn’t have a chance to do my hair today and was feeling self conscious about it. But thank you so much!” ❤️ Being kind and telling people the good I see is something that seems so easy and something I should know how to do. But I never did. Now I will do it forever. I always hear your voice in my head voice reminding me to be kind. And her being happy made my night! So win win!.

Husbands Need To Thank You!

God gave you a gift that you shared with me. Others have no idea what they are missing by not joining your program. There are soooo many husbands out there that owe you for helping hold their families together!! Thank you! God bless you!

You Are An Angel.

Your Priceless Videos!

I am so glad I found you. I do not know how. But I’m glad. You are an angel and the only one who really truly understands this hell. Your videos are just the best! Thank you for creating them for us because I’d be calling you every day otherwise.

Flowers!

He’s HOME!

Hi Laurie.  He’s home and we had an amazing day together yesterday. Your videos, emails, and texts helped me through an extremely difficult couple of months and I’m SO grateful for your wisdom.  It could have gone the other way for sure.  I have so much to learn still!
Melodie – Knottsville

It’s Working!

Hi Laurie! I just want to say our session helped me tremendously! Mostly to solidify I have a lot to offer and him leaving was not my fault, but you opened my eyes that I was not building him up in our marriage. I signed up for the videos and they are amazing! My perspective has changed, and the few interactions we had via text just this weekend turned into a 20 minute conversation!! Then last night at his apartment, when I picked up my son, I just let him talk and he kept sharing and sharing. When my son and I left he had a disappointed look on his face (like he wished we weren’t leaving). I don’t know what is to come but I feel empowered and know that no matter the outcome I’m gonna be okay.

You Are Changing The World

Tell other wives Laurie! You need to tell them to listen to you. You are changing the world. You changed mine. And I found you so randomly. I do feel so special. Your videos impart relationship advice and wisdom that is crucial, yet not common at all. To new wives who may be reading this:
If you find yourself in a difficult situation such as a spouse’s mid-life crisis, you need a wise teacher who has been through what you are going through!  Friends and family are often well-meaning and want to help, but if you want to save your marriage you should listen to what Laurie says. I turned to her during a critical time in my marriage when my husband wanted to leave me.  My usual reaction would have been anger and anxiety, but Laurie’s short, concise, and funny videos told me exactly what I need to hear and stopped me from taking actions that would have only made things worse.  On days when I found myself spiraling downwards into habitual thoughts, Laurie’s texting service literally saved me!  Seriously, she knows what she is talking about and I recommend her videos wholeheartedly!  My husband never left the house. He stayed. It was hard but I’m glad he didn’t leave. Thanks Laurie!!!!    
Forever Grateful to you Laurie! Love, Nancy

Strategy is Best!

I couldn’t even function when he left and now I have a plan. A strategy. I feel really good. I can do this. God bless you and Thank you.
Stacy S – Indiana

Thank you!

This job you have helping us wives? I think about all the stuff you deal with all day every day, of us women not knowing anything. It must be so hard. You put up with so much of us. I’m so glad you do it and I’m happy I found you! I have an acquaintance I talk to who is also going through the same messy stuff: separation, divorce and Horseface. She’s in year number two and just doesn’t understand and hasn’t changed at all. I was going to tell her about you, but I do not want to share you with anyone I know. Ha. Ha. Ha.  Sorry. But I can see that I’ve come such a long way from when I first came to you.  Like when she was comparing herself to horseface?  Wow. I’m not perfect but I felt good. I do know I can always be so much better!

Priceless.

Priceless. That’s what you have been to me. Priceless. I don’t know if I’d still be here or alive without you.

He is Home!

Hi Laurie!  I just wanted to reach out and give you an update and thank you again for your texts, phone calls, and videos that helped me through some dark days.  Jxx has been HOME, sleeping in OUR bed, for about a month now.  I have been consistently applying your skills.This journey is certainly not finished, but he is home & has been helping more with the kids and has been really DOING (not trying!!)  I thank him a lot, and he even thanked me the other day, which is/was HUGE!  So basically, what you teach IS working, and I feel pretty good and transformed and amazing most of the time.  I do feel a bit sorry for myself once in a while, when I long for a proclamation from Jxx of his undying love, commitment, and respect and apology, but I know that will come someday, and even if not, I (thanks to you) now know my own worth.  
Thanks again Laurie. Thanks again for your time and listening ear when I was really needing it.   xoxoxoxoxo Mxxx

He’s Home and I Stopped Hating Him!

You helped me stop hating him after he left and just accept and see my husband for who he is. And you were right. Everything you said was right. He’s back and things are different, way better. Thank you for helping me see what I was blind to seeing. I now see what you were talking about and it was already right there. It’s actually bewildering how it changed the way I see everything. Thank you Laurie.
Wendy – NYC.

Having Fun Finally!

Laurie! YES! Pretty big breakthrough! Feeling empowered and great and glad! Wasn’t expecting it so soon! Happy for my daughters. He seems more “normal” but I’m not kidding myself. I understand from you.Thank you so much. I’m thinking of writing a follow-up letter will you help when you’re available? Oh and on the fun front, my daughter and I are attending bar tending school next weekend!

Your Videos Made An Impact on Me

Hi Laurie, hope you’re doing well. Just wanted to send a quick note because I was super discouraged this morning, feeling very alone trying to care for all the things my husband used to help me with, and I decided to just listen to your videos and let them auto play one right after the other until I felt better.
I have to say I feel like we are kindred spirits, the way you describe how you feel, both good and bad, and your mistakes along the way, I echo them entirely. And they make me laugh when I feel like crying. So anyway, wanted to say thanks for the videos, and know how much of a far reaching impact they’re having, and keep them coming! ❤

I Am No Longer Afraid!

Hi Laurie, I just wanted to say you’re an amazing human being. Your logical approach to this nightmare freed me from anxiety and misery. Something my therapist could not help me with for months! And you did it in DAYS! I would not only obsess about his AP (you say horseface) but I’d be like afraid of her! Obviously I am not a strong woman like you are. I was unable to be productive during my day and could not think of anything but him and her.  And then you gave me a new perspective. You helped me get rid of my FEAR. That was my biggest issue. You gave me hope. And even if it’s false hope, I am not wasting my life and health. I live my life again.  As of now, I decided to try your approach till June 17. If the two of them stay together and live happily then I will move on with my life as well.  I will be forever grateful helping me get out of that harmful mindset.  Thank you!  Anna

Doing Well!

Laurie, things have been going really great over here. The Wife and I are back under one roof, talking a lot, praying together daily. I still a lot to unpack, but I know I never could have gotten here if God didn’t put you in my life. “Thank you” just doesn’t seem to come close to how grateful I am for what you did for me. And what you did for our marriage and our family!
I am flying down to LA next week to have a chat with my parents because I need to clearly let them know where things stand with her. I want to set up some ground rules going forward because I know they are going to be unkind to her. Can we get together?  I want to bring you that book and give you a huge hug!

He’s Home and Getting ReMarried Again!

Hi Laurie, I got your card today!!  Thank you so much. I just wanted to give you an update. My husband and I had a breakthrough a couple weeks ago like I had texted, and it’s only gotten better since then. I’m not sure what shifted but did but it’s pretty Dang amazing. I think it might have to do partly with the way I handled the discovery of the other woman, and also the slow momentum that I’ve been building since Spring.  
J is so incredibly grateful that I’ve hung in there and that I showed up the way I have, and that I’m willing to trust him 100% and believe him when he tells me how deep his love is for me and how this is what he is always wanted.
It’s like my unconditional love finally broke through his pain, and he surrendered and is willing to go all in, as am I. We joke about our “last” marriage, and are planning on getting remarried.
We are really enjoying our time together, and are aware that after we’ve made it through this, we’re pretty solid. We know now that we can face any challenge together. Thank you so much for your support.
You really helped make this renewal happen💕  – Karen Z

He’s Home Thank you!

I just want to let you know what an awesome help your text messages have been to me. I followed all your advice and my husband has finally made the turn. He has gotten rid of the other person, he wants to come home, he wants to fix things, your advice was spot-on. Everything you told me turned out just as you said. I would love to leave you a positive review as you made me understand this wasn’t about me!! I will admit, all your advice, it’s really hard to do. But if you stick with it, it does work. So thank you. People like you are an angel on the plant.
Melissa N. – Missouri

I Love You Laurie

Dear Laurie, Thank you so much for all your strength and wisdom. I don’t know what I would have done without your videos. I had days where I would steal away to binge on an hour or so of them. Reading surrendered wife recently has helped a lot as well… I’m sure you’ve heard of Laura Doyle. Similar concepts to you. I read The Universe Has Your Back as well, all of it, I’m a changed person. 
I’ll get there eventually. I’ve been such a good student and so determined, my husband is a good guy-he’s just so so so so lost. When he comes back I’m so excited to show him the new better version of myself. I was doing so many things wrong without even realizing. Anyway, I’m not a success story yet, but I will be because I listen to you and you do such good work. I believe in you and I’ve seen what you do with others. YOU are who got me through 🙂 I love you from afar for that 🥰
I apologize for the scattered message… 3 kids running around and through my legs at all times.  LZ. Atlanta

She Saved Me!

When I found Laurie, my 17 year marriage had collapsed, and my husband was MIA.  I knew I wanted to save my marriage, but I didn’t have friends or family who could give me the wisdom I knew I needed.   If I had continued to listen to those around me, our marriage and family (we have 2 teenagers) wouldn’t have survived. 
Laurie was there for me in CRITICAL moments when I needed her most. 
Her call and texting services were absolutely integral to my sanity (and sucess) on those difficult days where I wanted to give up and revert back to old habits (complaining, questioning, begging, crying, yelling).  But I didn’t. 
I did what she said.   
I followed her advise and ‘stayed straight.’ 
On the rare moments he was nearby, I was friendly, kind, and grateful, and tried my best to ignore what he was or was not doing.  I found my happiness and self respect again, despite incredibly difficult circumstances.  I did this for months on end, and even though I certainly had rough moments and days, it got easier to stay focused on my life and happiness.  I truly realized that no matter what, I would be ok.  (but deep down I knew our marriage would come back stronger and better).   And guess what?  My husband and I have reconciled.  Our marriage IS better than EVER:  healthy, loving, intimate, respectful, safe, and built on trust and gratitude.  In hindsight, I see that this dark journey was necessary for us both. 
We are now on our 2nd marriage, but with the same person!!  My husband thanks me everyday for getting us here, and I thank Laurie for helping me find my way.  Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude to Laurie.  She is the voice of wisdom and sanity during a time of crisis and insanity.  Listen to her!

It’s Not Me.

Thank God for you Laurie. I don’t know what I would have done without your program. Well I know what I would have done especially after this week, I would have been pissed off, told him to F*ck off, asked for a divorce. Then all hope would have been lost. I do see things differently now thanks to you. It’s not him, it’s mlc, two different people and I can immediately tell which one comes to visit.  He’s in there, I know he is. I have faith in him.  – Jenny K

I AM BETTER!

Laurie, Since I discovered you and your videos- everything is better. I love you and who you are.  -Candace C

Positive And Learning!

I’m realizing lately that I fought my husband on everything. I think I got it from my mother. Now that I’m changing I see how she overreacts with more clarity.  I so wish I learned this stuff earlier.  It’s like my husband ‘s attitude was never personal but I reacted to it like it was a huge assault and I wasn’t going to let anyone talk/treat me that way. But I turned into someone who then he could treat poorly cause I was acting poorly. I’m not like that anymore.  I want to be helpful and on the same team. I realize that doesn’t mean I’m a doormat.  His personality is that he is really self centered and I think I thought if I jumped on that train with him I would lose myself.  But I did anyway.  Because I am kind and helpful and caring and I held that back from him.  – Zara K. Spain

You Are My Gift.

Do you remember what an angry *itch I was that first day we talked? Who was I back then? I’m embarrassed. I can honestly admit I’ve come a long, long way. (I never would have been able to say or write that before) And it’s all your fault!! Thank you! I owe you Laurie.

You Are An Angel!

I’m Not trying, I’m doing!! Thank you for helping me navigate this, God sent me an angel in you

Dear Readers Who Are Looking For Help…

Laurie is an angel sent from God to save marriages. I do not say that lightly; it comes from a deep place of faith and understanding of the divine. If it wasn’t for the advice, coaching, encouragement, and unwavering hope she gave me, I would not still be married today.
Two years ago, my wife of nine years came home out of the blue and told me she no longer loved me or wanted to be married. I floundered alone for nine months trying to figure out what to do. Once I discovered a long infidelity, I filed for separation and spiraled further downward until hitting the lowest point of my life. That is when God led me to Laurie.
She completely changed the trajectory of my life. From our very first phone call, I followed her advice and saw instant results. For the next eight months, I relied on her almost daily. She respected the boundaries I set for myself and always adjusted her advice to me as she kept me on the straight path. She gave me encouragement and validation when I needed it most. The value she provided cannot be given a price….helping me focus on personal growth, giving me strength to become a better dad through my separation, and ultimately keeping me in a place to which my wife could eventually return.
I would implore anyone who finds their marriage in trouble and wants to stay married to allow Laurie to be a part of your journey. I continue to thank God daily for the blessing this woman is to marriages.”
P – Chattanooga, TN

Thank you!

Not Hopeless

Hi Laurie,  Hope this letter finds you and your family well. I’m writing this letter to express my since appreciation for all the coaching, support and tireless hours that you mentored me through an extremely emotional and stressful time with my marriage. When we started, I thought my case was hopeless.You were on point with all of your ideas, strategies and resources. When we first spoke you were very transparent and explained this would be a marathon, however you stated there is a finish line. You were always vested in my situation, no matter how much work and effort was required. You not only helped in marriage related issues, but life in general. I would definitely advise anyone considering to use your program to “get started” this will be the best investment that they will ever make. The techniques and lessons you taught me will be used for the rest of my life. I’m forever grateful for your time and support and always being available. 

Sincerely, Anonymous
(This was written by a wonderful loving good man!!  IT IS POSSIBLE!!)

Grateful To You!

Dear Laurie,

I want to thank you for all the work you have done and continue to do!  I feel blessed to have found you early on in my journey.  I listened to your videos over and over and over (and over and over!) again!  I listened to them all, whether I thought they applied to me or not.  I memorized your words, I memorized your actions and faces.  I think I have started laughing like you!!  I remember listening to one video about a husband wanting to move out.  You told me that when the time came I was to say some exact words. I wrote them down and from time to time I review them and practice.  So I did what you said. I thought it was stupid and yet I did it anyway.

I even thought to myself, this is silly, “this will never be me, this will not be my husband.”  Well, I was 10000% wrong, cause out of the blue that time came.  I remember standing in the kitchen and he’s talking about wanting to move out.  Out of nowhere, my mouth opened and my voice start saying the exact words you told me to say.  My brain could not compute what my mouth was saying. It was like I had an out of body experience.  It was already out of my mouth before my brain knew what was happening. 

THEN Just after we spoke a bit more, like you also said, my husband said, “thank you. I appreciate that and I feel heard.”

In the end My husband never ended up leaving home.   I confronted him about the affair last month.  I was calm and said, “I know about your relationship with Sephanie .”  I didn’t yell, I didn’t scream, I didn’t cry.  I didn’t push him in the pool.  He later told me it was that moment that he snapped into reality right then and there.  He said he knew he wanted to work it out because the “old Josie” would have freaked out and never given him a chance.  But I sat so calm and collected (he didn’t know I had divorce papers on a shelf) that he said he knew I had changed.

We have been going to counseling and are doing well, although I can still tell that he isn’t able to be vulnerable with me.  And as frustrated as I feel about that sometimes, I tell myself that this will also take time.

I remind myself that women are the smarter species!  I STILL watch the videos and STILL memorize the words. I have found them to be helpful in all my relationships, including those with my friends and children and colleagues!  Thank you for helping me keep my family together.  I am very proud of the work that I have done to keep divorce out of this family and the work that I have done to make myself a happier and softer woman and wife!  I will continue to listen and learn all the wisdom you continue to pour out!

XOXO Josie
