Strong Men Strong Marriages

Helping high achieving Christian men have more intimate marriages. Start with episodes 1-4 for an introduction. Traditional marriage counseling, couples therapy, couples counseling and even Christian marriage counseling will tell you that a good marriage is based on compromise. Validating feelings. Sacrifice. I tried that for years. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. That’s why most couples who go through marriage counseling are the same or worse off after. BUT, in my studies in neuroscience at BYU, MD training at UCLA, psychiatry residency, marriage coach training, and most importantly in my own marriage, I finally found what DOES work. Building strength. Spiritual, mental, emotional and sexual strength, while anchored in following Christian marriage principles. Strength is attractive. And, it feels great. It builds trust. Add to this the skills of communication and intimacy, and you get a marriage full of phenomenal mental, emotional and physical intimacy. And, you set the example for generations to follow. I applied this to my own marriage, I felt better than ever and had more connection and passion than I thought possible. I started teaching this to other men and couples and they were able to create mental, emotional and sexual intimacy faster than they thought possible. This even works for affair recovery and emotional affairs. Now it’s your turn. Become a strong, attractive man. Create a strong, passionate marriage.

Today, find a way to reverse the invalidation triple threat.


Let your wife know you did something wrong (invalidated her)...


That you can understand how she would feel (unheard, unseen, unsafe)...


And that you can understand how she could think a certain way (that she’s not important to you, that you think you’re better than her, etc.)...

A few weeks back we talked about the Invalidation Triple Threat.


That’s when you tell your wife:


-She’s wrong for what she’s thinking


-She’s wrong for what she’s feeling


-You’re right


This causes her to close her heart… and body… off from you.


We all do this sometimes, and luckily we can reverse it by reversing those 3 steps:


-Tell her how you were wrong for responding the way you did


-Understand how...

So you learned that getting mad back, the invalidation triple threat and trying to make your wife happy won’t work.


Instead, try…


Responding with kindness…


Serving her because you want to (going the extra mile)...


Or just saying “no.”

When your wife gets mad at you for something, most men either…


Get mad back…


Tell their wife she’s wrong and justify themselves (invalidation triple threat)...


Or tuck tail and just try to make her happy.


Unfortunately, all of these lead to disconnection and lack of intimacy.


Learn what to do instead… in today’s episode.
