She Won't Leave

Episode #132 Women nowadays don't need a man to provide for them financially. They need someone who can provide for them emotionally, someone who is man enough for her to feel safe and secured. Someone who is present, who takes care of himself, and his health and knows how to step up. As a man, we become very much confident that our wife will never leave us since we think that providing financially is enough to make them stay. We think that when we make more money, THAT is the time we will be able to enjoy life with our loved ones but we never feel like its enough, we always want to make more and as a result, we become slaves to our business. In this episode, we talk about how providing is more than just giving money, it is emotionally also. If you want to have deep intimacy in your relationship then you need to prioritize it and make your business serve your life, not the other way around. Women check out from the relationship because they feel that their partner left the relationship long before they do. Their husbands stopped becoming the man they married. The wife becomes a mother and the husband becomes a boy. To keep the relationship it is important to become the man you know you are capable of becoming. Improve yourself, learn how to switch off from work and be present in the relationship. Spend quality time with your wife, have good communication and you will become closer to each other.

How To Save Your Marriage Without Talking About It

Episode #126 Our society teaches us that in order to solve the problems in our marriage we should go through counseling or therapy and talk things out...but some people don't want to talk about it because it just brings more weight to the problem. We have good news...there is another way to turn things around. The first step in saving your marriage without talking about it is becoming raw and honest with yourself. Acknowledge that there is a problem in your marriage and stop pretending that everything is working fine. Second, focus on improving YOURSELF instead of criticizing your partner. Discover yourself as a man and know your standards. We all grew up differently. Our expectations are different from each other because of our upbringing or how we are programmed while growing up. Instead of pointing out the flaws of your partner, focus on cleaning your side of the street first. Stop comparing your decision making to hers, your problems to hers, your day with hers because it will just create disconnection within the relationship. Focus on your individual selves first, accept each other's craziness in order for you to work on your relationship as a couple. Lastly, leave the fighting mentality at work, decompress and transition into a family man. Think about how you will step up to not only save the marriage but to take the relationship to the next level. In this episode you will learn: How to save a marriage without talking about it The importance of cleaning your side of the street first and what that looks like.
