My wife is owned stories. How can I help her share these stories?

Create a comfortable environment at home. Maybe have a cozy night in with some wine and soft music, and then gently bring up the topic. Let her know that you are genuinely interested in her past.

Create a safe and non - judgmental environment at home. Let her know that whatever she has to say, you are there to listen without criticism.

One way is to distract her. Plan some nice activities together, like going for a walk in a beautiful park, having a dinner at her favorite restaurant or watching a light - hearted movie. This can help shift her focus from those stories.

In a 'owned wife story', there was a family where the husband considered it his role to ensure his wife's well - being. He made sure she had time for her hobbies. He would plan special days for her to pursue her interests like painting. By doing this, he was 'owning' the task of making her happy and fulfilled in their marriage.

A wife might own a beauty salon. In a predominantly black neighborhood, this salon could be a hub. She could have started small, just doing hair for friends and family. But as her skills and reputation grew, she expanded. She employed other black women, providing jobs and also creating a place where black women could feel comfortable and beautiful. Her salon might also be involved in community events, like sponsoring local beauty pageants for young black girls.

The phrase 'owned stories' is rather strange. It might be a creative way of saying that your wife has stories that are unique to her, perhaps like family stories that she has inherited or personal adventures that she has ownership over in the sense that they are hers to share or keep.

Try to engage in activities she enjoys while having a conversation. If she likes going for walks, go for a walk together and casually ask if she has anything she wants to talk about. During the walk, the relaxed atmosphere might make her more likely to open up. Also, respect her boundaries. If she doesn't want to talk about something right away, don't push. Just let her know you're available whenever she's ready.

Create a comfortable environment for her. Maybe have a cozy evening at home with some soft music and a warm drink. When she feels relaxed, she'll be more inclined to share her stories.

Just tell her you're interested. For example, say 'Honey, I heard you love your sister's pet stories. I'd love to hear some too.'

Just show a genuine interest. Look her in the eyes when she talks and nod to let her know you're listening.
