The real reason your marriage feels stuck has nothing to do with communication, date nights, or intimacy. 

It runs deeper - into your identity as a man.

In this episode, Ben reveals the three unconscious habits that quietly destroy marriages from the inside out - and what to do instead if you want to rebuild connection, respect, and desire without forcing your wife to “work on it too.”

You'll discover:

  • Why your marriage might be drifting and you don’t even know it
  • The habits of comparison, keeping score, and defensiveness — and how they show up
  • How your identity determines every fight, eye-roll, and silent dinner
  • The truth about “trying harder” (and why it makes things worse)
  • A new way to fix this at the root - without guilt, blame, or begging

If you're a high-performing man who feels like a stranger in his own marriage, this might be your wake-up call. It’s not about doing more - it’s about becoming more aligned with the husband & partner you said you’d be.
