In today's video, we're diving into an important topic: the impact of the words men use when addressing a female: whether it is their wife or daughter.

Have you ever said something that unintentionally made your wife feel like she's "not enough"? Let's break down common statements like "you always..." and "I wish you were more..." and explore how they can harm communication.

Using a personal story about our 11-year-old twins, Mason and Madison, I share how certain phrases can lead to misunderstandings, feelings of inadequacy, and unnecessary conflict. I'll also cover how to approach sensitive situations with care, providing clear examples and solutions for better communication.

🚨 Key takeaways from this video:

Why phrases like "you always" and "I wish you were more" are damaging.

The importance of timing when addressing difficult topics.

How to communicate expectations and offer solutions to avoid conflict.
