What to Do When Your Wife Says She’s Not in Love With You (Real Steps That Work)

When a wife says she’s not in love anymore, most men panic—and that panic usually pushes her further away. In this episode, Coach Jack explains why those words do not automatically mean your marriage is over, and why chasing, pleading, or trying to convince her almost always backfires. This episode lays out a clear, step-by-step way to respond that helps your wife relax, reconnect, and regain attraction over time. 

What You’ll Learn

  • How to respond when your wife says she’s not in love—without chasing or arguing
  • The most common mistakes men make that destroy any chance of reconnection
  • Why acceptance works better than reassurance, persuasion, or pursuit
  • The correct order of steps that allow attraction and connection to rebuild
