For a lot of men, asking for help feels like weakness.

We’re taught to be self-reliant. To lead. To figure it out on our own.
 So when marriage gets hard, we do what we’ve always done—try to push through it solo.

However, some problems don’t get solved with more effort.
 They get solved with support.

In this episode of Better Husband, we’re diving into one of the biggest roadblocks men face in relationships—resistance to help.
Where it comes from, how it starts in childhood, and why learning to receive support isn’t just a game-changer—it’s a requirement for growth.

You’ll also hear a personal story from my own marriage—and why learning to stop hiding was the turning point in our relationship.

🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why men are conditioned to avoid help—and how that affects your marriage
✅ How the “hero child” role shows up in adult relationships
✅ Why doing it alone keeps you stuck longer than you think
✅ The mindset shift that creates real change in you and your marriage
✅ What support actually looks like—and where to start finding it

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • You weren’t meant to do this alone—and you don’t have to
  • Asking for help doesn’t make you weak, it makes you ready
  • Support changes everything—when you’re open to receiving it
