Ever wish you could peek inside your husband’s mind and finally understand what’s going on in there? In this episode, marriage coach and relationship expert Kameran Alareqi pulls back the curtain on the 25 things husbands wish their wives knew — but don’t always know how to say.
We’re talking about emotional needs, respect, purpose, vulnerability, sex, communication, and yes — the deep stuff like shame, fear, and how the “mother wound” shows up in marriage.
This isn’t a man-bashing or woman-blaming episode — it’s a truth-telling, compassion-building, connection-restoring one. You’ll walk away with practical insights and tools you can use today to create more peace, passion, and partnership in your marriage.
✨ In this episode:
What men really mean when they pull away or shut down
Why respect matters (and how it’s actually earned, not demanded)
The role of shame and pressure in a man’s emotional world
How sex, validation, and safety are connected for him
What wives can do to help their husbands feel seen, trusted, and appreciated
The hidden ways the “mother wound” shapes a man’s relationship patterns
🎯 You’ll love this episode if you’ve ever thought:
“I wish he’d just open up to me.”
“Why doesn’t he talk about what he’s feeling?”
“I don’t want to be his mother — I want to be his partner.”
“We’re good… but I want deeper connection.”
👉 Listen now to learn the science, stories, and strategies that help couples go from disconnected and defensive to emotionally safe and deeply connected.
