Ever wonder what your husband really needs from you? In this powerful episode, I sit down with licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Edvardo Archer to unpack what most entrepreneurial husbands are silently begging for—but rarely express.
This conversation will shift your perspective on what drives your husband's actions, how to create deeper emotional connection, and the key to building a marriage where you both feel seen, heard, and valued.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ The one thing your husband craves but struggles to articulate.
✅ Why he sometimes seems emotionally distant—and what’s actually happening inside.
✅ A simple yet game-changing way to bring back intimacy, trust, and connection in your marriage.
Bible Verses to Reflect On:
📖 Proverbs 14:1 – “A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.”
📖 1 Peter 3:7 – “Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect…”
Key Takeaways:
💡 Husbands equate success with provision – Many men measure their worth by their ability to provide, which can cause emotional disconnect.
💡 He wants a safe place too – Your husband needs a space where he feels emotionally secure, just as much as you do.
💡 It’s about partnership, not perfection – When both spouses understand and support each other’s needs, true intimacy thrives.
Action Step:
This week, instead of assuming what your husband needs, ask him one open-ended question: “What is one thing I can do to support you this week?” Then, listen without interrupting.
