Relationships Made Simple (for Men)

Have you ever watched yourself or someone else treat their partner poorly and wonder, "Why is this allowed?" There are some fascinating reasons why this happens, specifically in marriage. It won't change unless we are aware of what we're doing and why we're doing it. I've got a Men's Retreat happening in St. George, UT (Sept. 25-28). You can email me at [email protected] if you want more info.

Your wife has probably figured out that she doesn't always feel emotionally safe with you. How do you respond to that? Do you know why she says this? Do you know what she means? Do you know how to make it better? If you want 15 minutes of direct feedback, listen in.

Respect is about feeling seen. When we feel seen, we feel valued and respected. I'll give you a few simple practices you can implement today that will help your wife or partner feel respected.

If you find yourself consistently feeling unappreciated, it's most likely because of the way you've set up your relationship. Nice guys set up covert contracts, lie about how they're feeling, and overextend themselves as a way to earn respect and appreciation. If that doesn't work, they can start to feel resentful, frustrated, and confused. I'll talk about how this works and give you some new ways to break out of the "fake nice" pattern.

If you don't want to hear my political opinion, skip this one. I share what I think, and then I give you a few relational moves to make, no matter where you land on the political spectrum.

Do you ever find yourself stuck, not knowing what to say or do to make your partner feel safe with you? I got you. I'll give you specific scripts from real-life examples. It's not that complicated. If you've never heard someone talk like this before, this episode will be eye-opening.

I have a theory that Men generally struggle with commitment more than women in relationships. This is less about checking the boxes of "good husband" and more about their ability to commit to emotionally leaning in. When we don't lean in, our partners don't feel like they can lean in either. This distance often becomes the thing couples argue about. Tune in to hear my take on commitment.
