Marriage, Family, and Men with Dr. Greg Popcak

from Just A Guy In The Pew Podcast · host John Edwards

Most of us were taught how to work hard, provide, and solve problems. But very few of us were ever taught how to truly love, communicate, or lead our families the way Christ calls us to. That leaves a lot of men frustrated. We work harder, say less, withdraw emotionally, and wonder why our marriages keep drifting further apart. This week, I sit down with Dr. Greg Popcak, the founder of CatholicCounselors.com and host of EWTN’s More2Life program, to have one of the most practical conversations we've ever had on marriage, fatherhood, communication, and authentic masculine leadership. In this episode we discuss: 🔹Why leadership and control are not the same thing. 🔹The biggest communication mistakes husbands make. 🔹Why your wife often wants your presence more than your solutions. 🔹How emotional shutdown slowly damages a marriage. 🔹What healthy Catholic counseling looks like. 🔹The surprising habits that help families pass on the faith. 🔹Why your children need to see you pray through life's struggles—not just solve them. 🔹How small daily acts of care can completely change the culture of your home. 🔹Why it's never too late to begin rebuilding trust. If you've ever felt like you're trying your best but nothing seems to change... or you've wondered how to become the husband and father God is calling you to be... I think this conversation will encourage you.
