My wife is sexually shut down; I hear these words often from men. After many years in marriage, other priorities have taken over. Sex is last on her list. And that’s frustrating as hell. Are you asking yourself… Why won’t my wife have sex with me? You may know the reasons. She’s exhausted with work, the kids, and home. But […]
Tim was one of those ‘successful’ guys with the six figure income, the nice house, two sweet kids, the beautiful wife, and big yard. From the outside, you’d have no idea that inside that beautiful house, his beautiful wife was…well, not so beautiful. In truth, she was a bully. She consistently reprimanded and demeaned Tim. Are you in a relationship with an abusive woman? […]
A clenched fist. It’s a classic symbol of strength, power, and triumph. It’s been used all the world over for over a century in protests, marches, and political struggles. And yet in the day in and day out struggle of a man’s life – be it the fight to keep his marriage alive, the struggle to keep his kids happy, […]
Remember when you first fell in love? The fireworks. Spark. Excitement. Sex. Chemistry. Compatibility. That desire to be together all the time. The urge to merge. The yearning to lose yourself in one another. A beautiful sense of oneness. The ultimate love. No secrets, no boundaries, no struggles. You let her in fully. She let you in fully. You were […]
Rick was a successful entrepreneur. The kind of guy who kicked ass at work. Good looking, fit, smart. He didn’t seem like the kind of guy who played small in the world. But at home, that’s precisely what he did. He tried not to upset his wife. He walked on eggshells around her. And he swirled in one question. How can […]
Like many men I coach, Austin was struggling in his relationship. He’d lost his mojo, his way, his passion with his wife. After waking up next to her daily for 12 years, he said, “I feel like I’m in a cage. The thrill is gone. Is this really the rest of my life?” “What do you want? What do you […]
At its most challenging in his relationship, a guy finds himself in that “tension in the kitchen” moment with his partner. Have you ever been there? If so, you know how it goes. There’s been a fight the night before. Maybe you hardly remember what it was about. Or you’ve replayed it in your head multiple times, wondering what you […]
Roger feared rocking the boat with his wife. His behaviors showed that. Maybe one of them apply to you as well. It’s easier to just go along with whatever she wants than risk upsetting her. When I speak up for what I want, it just causes problems. And so, I just say nothing. I avoid what I fear with her instead […]
Guy was ambivalent about his commitment to his marriage. He experienced a few things. The unwillingness to act or make a clear choice. The sense of being frozen for years on end. The anxiety of staying with one foot out the door. These are the symptoms of a man who betrays himself. A man who is not in integrity with himself with his […]
I talk a lot about conflict in relationship. It’s where a man needs help most. It’s the biggest problem in his relationship that he wishes he could solve. Do you argue or fight with your partner? If so, you’re not alone. From years of coaching men, I’ve seen that most guys don’t do conflict well. For most men, it’s just […]
