Resentment is a COMMON feeling in marriage.

But, most people don’t know where it comes from or what to do about it.

Overall, it comes from feeling like you are LOSING in your marriage…

While your wife is WINNING.

If you feel like you’re doing more than your fair share…

Doing things you don’t really want to do…

Or denying yourself things you really want…

Resentment is sure to follow.

Luckily, there’s a SIMPLE solution to completely ELIMINATE resentment in your marriage.

Summary:

-If you’re feeling resentful in your marriage, you are either:

–Doing things you don’t want to do

–Denying yourself things you want to do

–Doing things for your wife expecting her to do the same for you (without asking her clearly)

-Overall, it feels like you’re losing and she’s winning

-Instead, decide what’s a win for you

-Understand what’s a win for your wife

-And find a win for BOTH of you

A lot of men complain that their wife can’t seem to move past their mistakes.

Whether they’ve made big mistakes like an affair, or smaller mistakes like not listening to their wife…

They just want to forget about it and move forward.

They get frustrated when they make the changes their wife wants to see…

But their wife doesn’t seem to appreciate those changes.

This lack of appreciation can cause them to stop trying, which just makes things worse.

Learn how to break out of this cycle once and for all in this episode…

And put the past in the past once and for all.

Satan is attacking men, marriages and families CONSTANTLY.

Every day, 130 people commit suicide. Of those, 90 are men.

50% of marriages end in divorce. 40-80% of married people are unhappy in their marriage.

42% of Americans are obese.

The average savings for people age 20-40 is $2,000.

Satan’s goal is to make us WEAK and MISERABLE.

God wants us to be STRONG,JOYFUL and INDEPENDENT.

We defend ourselves and defeat Satan by putting on the armor of God.

You want a happy marriage. 

One where you wake up feeling like the luckiest man alive.

Where you go to work feeling strong and confident, because you know your wife has your back.

Where you come home to a wife who smiles and jumps into your arms when you come home.

Where you sit down to a dinner of laughter and connection with your family.

After dinner, you sit and talk with your wife about your hopes, dreams and fears, feeling more connected than ever.

You head to bed for a night of passion and connection.

You go to bed thinking “I can’t believe this is my life.”

You CAN have this kind of marriage.

You just have to master 5 skills to get there.

In this episode I’ll show you what they are.

Most men think apologizing means saying “I’m sorry” and moving on.

But that’s a big mistake.

And it’s that attitude that will keep you “in the doghouse” and keep you from regaining your wife’s love and trust.

Learn what an apology is, and the common mistakes men make when trying to apologize, in this episode.

Listen on Strong Men Strong Marriages here.

Watch on YouTube here.

Summary:

-An apology includes seeing what you did that hurt your wife, acknowledging her hurt, and doing deep work to change yourself from someone who would hurt his wife

-Men will often not apologize at all, or get defensive

-They will minimize what they did (that was a long time ago, it could have been worse)

-They will get impatient and encourage their wife to “get over it” and “move forward”

-They will ask their wife to trust them 

-They will make it about them instead of the hurt they caused their wife

If you have done any of these, this episode will help you see why these are problems and how to change them.

The reason you’re not as connected to your wife as you’d like to be is because you’ve hurt her in some way.

That might be an obvious way, like an affair.

Or it may be a more subtle way, like neglecting her over time or serving her with “strings attached” (mosquito behaviors).

Either way, you have created disconnection by hurting her.

Most men try to fix this by trying to tell their wife they’re sorry and to move forward.

But that doesn’t work.

Learn what DOES work in this episode.

Listen on Strong Men Strong Marriages here.

Watch on YouTube here.

Summary:

-After you hurt your wife, she is asking “can I trust him?” and “will he hurt me again?”

-She draws closer as the starts to believe she can trust you, then pulls away when she’s afraid you might hurt her again

-Your job is to be consistent, trustworthy, manage your emotions, and communicate clearly (including the hard stuff)

-If you were hurt, remember you can’t rush trust. It has to be earned. Be patient with yourself. Make appropriate requests and set appropriate boundaries

-Consider coaching to help you through the process

Love. A word that can mean SO many different things.

And confusion about what kind of love belongs in marriage causes LOTS of marriage problems.

In this episode we’ll discuss the 3 most valuable types of love in marriage…

And how to develop them.

Summary:

-Agape, or unconditional love, belongs in marriage. BUT, your spouse can’t give it to you, and you can’t give it to your spouse. You need to get it from an infinite source.

-Philia, or companionship love. This is essential for a great marriage. Committing to being great partners for each other for life.

-Eros, or romantic, sexual love. What distinguishes marriage from other close, philia, relationships. 

-If you’re not getting the kind of love you want, make sure you’re offering it in an attractive way, then ask for what you want effectively, and choose what YOU will do if your request is not granted (set a boundary).
