You’ve done the work. You’ve read the books. You’ve stopped reacting. You’ve started healing.
So why does your marriage still feel cold and stuck?
In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, Bruce explains how hidden resistance might be the real reason you feel frustrated — even after making real progress.
You’re not lazy. You’re not doing it wrong.
You might just be afraid of what healing could change.
In This Episode:
✅ What hidden resistance is and how it shows up
✅ Why fear of loss can keep you stuck in old patterns
✅ How some men fake peace but are actually frozen inside

✅ The 6-step process to break free from quiet resistance
This Is For You If:
🔹 You feel stuck even after doing real personal growth
🔹 You feel calm outside, but numb or hopeless inside
🔹 You keep hoping she’ll come around — but nothing changes
🔹 You’re scared of what truth and clarity might reveal
What You’ll Learn:
✔️ How to spot resistance hiding as “self-control”
✔️ Why you’re still waiting to be picked — even as an adult
✔️ Why letting go feels scary, but staying stuck hurts more
✔️ How to face fear, grieve loss, and lead yourself through it
