What’s your goal for your marriage?
A wife who is excited to see you?
A wife who hugs, kisses and has sex with you?
A wife who appreciates you?
And that should happen all the time, right?
And if not, something is wrong. Right?
Well, this mindset of having an “endpoint” to marriage usually leads to frustration.
God helped me see that it’s much better to see your wife and marriage as a plant.
Something that has seasons. That needs consistent nourishment. Something living that doesn’t have an “end point.”
Something that needs a good husband to care for it.
Learn how to do this well in today’s episode.

It can be easy to get into a downward spiral about our wife and marriage.
The sex isn’t there.
The connection isn’t there.
We’re dealing with infidelity, separation or divorce.
It can all seem pretty hopeless.
And, when we feel hopeless, we don’t feel good, we’re not attractive, and we don’t solve our problems.
Fortunately, there’s a way out of this.
It’s gratitude.
Not necessarily for our wife, but for the fact that God has our back.
When we can see and feel that, we feel empowered, which is attractive.
And, we can start solving problems effectively.

Do you wish you had more in your marriage?
More sex?
More conversation?
More connection?
More fun?
It’s not a problem to want more.
However, your emotional state when you desire and ask for more can be a BIG problem.
Most of us ask for more from a place of whininess and “not enough.”
This usually just makes our wives feel like they’re not doing enough and less motivated to do anything more.
Learn a new and better way to get more in your marriage…
In today’s episode.

I read a few books in the last few weeks that have really impacted the way I view life and life after death.
After by Bruce Greyson, MD and
Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander, MD
The main takeaways I got are:
-Life DOES continue after this life
-We are LOVED by our creator, God
-He has a great plan for us
-We can tune into his love and plan any time, and the more we do the better we feel and the better we operate as men, husbands, fathers and in all areas

Does your wife feel safe with you?
Do your kids feel safe with you?
What if they did something wrong? Would they come to you for help?
What if your wife is struggling emotionally? Would she come to you for comfort?
If not, you haven’t been a secure attachment figure to your wife and kids.
And that’s not fun to realize. I’ve had to realize it myself.
But, the good news is, you CAN be one.
By being someone who is there for your wife and kids… no matter what.
Who loves them (wants the good for them)... no matter what.
Who is also there for yourself… no matter what.
