Why Your Wife Stays Out Late With Friends While You Lie In Bed Alone

If trust or emotional connection is thin in your marriage, it’s going to feel uncomfortable when your wife stays out late with her friends. This article is for the man who finds himself lying awake in bed at 2:00 A.M, worried about why his wife still isn’t home.

Ben’s Wife Spent Most Weekends Out Late With Friends

Ben couldn’t sleep.

Each hour that passed added to his anxiety.

His wife had gone out with friends that evening, and by midnight, Ben was worried something was wrong.

He didn’t know where she was and had already sent a few texts.

“Hey, where are you?”
“?”
“???”
No response.

Another message. Still nothing.

His mind starts racing. He feels it in his chest. Sleep isn’t happening tonight.

Then he hears a car pull up.

It’s not hers.

A few seconds later, the front door opens. It’s his wife. She came home in an Uber.

She walks straight to the bathroom. Ben follows her.

“Why were you out so late?”

She turns and pushes back.
“Why do you have to be so controlling? I was just out with friends.”

Ben presses again.
“Then why the Uber?”

“We were drinking. I didn’t want to drive.”

He leaves the room.

He feels better now that his wife is home, but it’s really bothering him that this has been happening weekend after weekend.

When Your Wife Stays Out Late With Friends, It’s For A Reason

When your wife stays out late with friends and shows no regard for how you feel about it, she is starting to resent the person she has become in the relationship.

She wants relief from everything the household demands of her.

Freedom to dream of a new or different life.

She feels that when she’s around people who don’t need something from her.

This is called the dissolutionment stage of a marriage that’s headed for divorce.

It’s moments like this, when you’re lying alone in bed at 2:00 A.M, that it’s really easy to take her actions personally.

But if you sit with your feelings, you’ll realize just how much of your sense of well-being has been orbiting around your wife the last few years, specifically in the sex department.

She has known it for years.

The pressure of needing to keep you happy and herself feels exhausting.

It’s feminine nature to seek escape, rather than try to fix the issue when she feels pressure.

That’s why telling her she can’t stay out late or that she always needs to answer your calls usually doesn’t land well with her in the dissolutionment stage.

All she smells in those demands is that you need HER to make your feelings better.

And that role is the EXACT thing she’s about ready to cut out of her life so she can feel like she can breathe again.

When Your Wife Stays Out Late, It’s Your Wake-Up Call

It can feel like your wife’s behaviour is causing all your suffering.

And I know a passionate romp under the sheets and sharing a coffee is probably all it would take for you to feel close again, but not for her.

For your wife, there is layer upon layer of things that have built up between you two over the years.

Slogging through it all in counseling or therapy is hardly ever a good idea when your marriage is in the dissolusionment stage.

The only path forward that can bring intimacy and closeness back is for you to rebuild your life into a version 2.0 that brings your spark back.

You have to become a man who stops trying to fix his wife or make her be someone different so that you can feel better in the relationship.

The only way to unplug from her being your main source of well-being is to find it within yourself.

Trust me, you haven’t lost it.

What happens is your thoughts become the clouds that block your internal sun.

Here’s Your Next Step

No amount of demanding, arguing, begging, or trying to rationalize with your wife is going to make her want to stay home in bed with you.

Playing the victim just gives her the ick.

There is an ENERGY a man brings to the relationship when he’s grounded, calm, deliberate, and happy.

If your wife stays out late, then you should be texting me, or the men in my community at 2:00 A.M., not her.

Start by reaching out.

We’ll have a Confidence Call over Zoom or phone, and I’ll show you how my Masculine Confidence Framework can help you become the man you need to be to lead your marriage back to love and intimacy.

Sex To Your Wife Means Something Different
You don’t need to be married long before you start to notice sex to your wife means something different than it does to you. Here’s what you need to know if you want to keep your differences from creating frustration.

For Women, Sex Is A Place To Get To

This means sex is a natural extension for women when OTHER things have already built up for her.
- She feels relaxed
- She feels connected
- She feels desired for what makes her unique
- She feels safe
- She feels an ENERGY between the two of you (polarity)
She needs to feel these things first before her body will soften to your touch.

For Men, Sex Is A Place To Come From

For men, our bodies aren’t even capable of feeling some things unless there’s sex, so that’s where we want to start.

Sex is what opens our hearts so that we can feel connected, close, bonded, affectionate, and caring.

A man won’t feel fully desired to his core by his wife unless he’s desired sexually by her.

Even the most brute, stone-cold man’s heart is softened by a woman’s affectionate sexual touch.

That’s why sex to your wife means something different – her heart is not softened by it like yours is.

Dare I say, your wife’s heart will harden if she has sex without feeling the desire first.

And for you, any anxiety or insecurity you feel about yourself will be amplified when sex is off the table.

Sex To Your Wife Means Something Different Because She Is Feminine

I ignored my wife’s voice for years when she used to complain about how I would go straight for sex, skipping the feelings she said she needed first.

I was convinced she would get in the mood once in the act.

I assumed she was like me, where sex would create the feelings we both wanted to feel together.

Boy, was I wrong.

Many men have learned the hard way that doing this for years will completely shut down your wife’s ability to be physically intimate with you.
- She will grow to resent your touch.
- She loses respect.
- She will close off, hoping to discourage you from making advances.
I’m largely assuming sex to your wife means something different based on my own experiences.

What has your experience been?

Or, book a call, and let’s chat…

She Says She Needs More Foreplay… Here’s What She Really Means
If your wife says she needs more foreplay when you try to be intimate with her, she isn’t talking about using lube or kissing her first.

Most men have little understanding of what turns a woman on since they only know what turns them on.

And I’ll bet your dad was just as clueless, so he never gave you any guidance either.

I’m going to give you a peek into the feminine mind so you can see why “forplay” isn’t what you think it is.

When She Says She Needs More Foreplay, It’s Not About Touch

For men, arousal is physical.

For women, it’s contextual.

It builds over days through tone, playfulness, challenge, and emotional safety.

If you’ve become overly cautious, overly smooth, or afraid to upset her, the polarity fades.

Maybe she criticized your sarcasm once.

Or maybe she reacted badly to teasing.

So you adjusted.

You softened.

You avoided “getting in trouble” with her.

Every woman feels the “Beauty and the Beast” fantasy, but you domesticated your “beast” trying to win her approval.

That leaves her without the counterpart she needs to feel drawn to you.

The Real Issue Isn’t Foreplay, It’s Energy

If there’s negative tension from arguments, defensiveness, shutdowns, or resentment, that lowers desire long before you get to the bedroom.

The negative energy between you feels draining.

That’s why she says she needs more foreplay to get warmed up.

It’s why she says, “she’s too tired”.

What’s missing is the positive tension (energy) that comes from being playful and grounded with her.

Tension turns negative if you:
- Lose your center when she disapproves
- Let your confidence rise and fall with her moods
- Take rejection personally
The very things you think are wrong in your relationship are actually invitations to lead the energy rather than become a victim of it.

That’s what a woman means when she says she needs more foreplay.

What Actually Turns Her On

Here are some masculine behaviours that feel like foreplay to feminine women:
- Teasing without needing approval
- Staying calm when she pushes back
- Holding eye contact
- Disagreeing without getting defensive
- Not collapsing when she’s distant
- Using your low voice even when she gets worked up
Foreplay starts long before the bedroom.

It starts with having playful moments with her over the course of several days that slowly build up in her.

There is a narrative that grows in her mind, and that fantasy is what gets her sex drive going.

Until you plant some of those narratives in her mind, she doesn’t ruminate on them.

You do this by being unapologetic about what you want while having no attachment to specific outcomes.

If you want her desire back, stop trying harder physically.

Start becoming more stable emotionally, and let the positive tension she feels around you get her juices flowing.

She will crave the release of that tension through orgasm.

5-Minute Quickie Your Wife Secretly Wants
Brother, let’s be honest…

If your wife gave you a five-minute quickie after lunch today, it would probably change your day, right?

It’s pretty crazy how only 5 minutes of physical intimacy can brighten a man’s mood!

Well, five minutes of your potent, masculine presence can change her world just as much.

When your presence is undistracted, unhurried, and all-in, it rocks her world.

It’s something she craves more than gifts, words, or advice.

It’s what makes her feel seen, safe, and desired.

And she only needs 5 minutes.

So tonight, when you get home, try this:
- Sit with her.
- Face her fully.
- Stay relaxed.
- Be genuinely curious.
- Don’t fix. Don’t analyze. Don’t rush.
After five minutes, you’re done.

Move on with your night.

This was just one pit stop along your awesome evening you have planned for yourself.

I’ve never seen an unhappy man save his marriage.

Staying connected to your own happiness should be your primary focus, not the results of the 5-minute quickie you just gave her.

What To Do If She’s Still Unhappy After

You can’t fix another person’s unhappiness.

You can only show them by example how to have a happy life.

Until you can be okay right where you are, as things are, you’re not in a position to lead the relationship anywhere better.

Feelings can be like clouds.

They block the sun from shining.

So much so, we can start to believe the sun will never shine again.

But this belief doesn’t mean the sun no longer exists.

Your inner well-being is always alive, even when your feelings cloud it over.

A man needs FAITH (even if it’s as small as a grain of mustard seed) that his wellbeing is still alive if he is to move mountains in his life on cloudy days.

If you’re ready to learn how to access that calm, confident center that leads naturally and magnetically, then reach out.

How To Deepen Intimacy, Loyalty, & Respect From Your Wife
To deepen intimacy with your wife, there’s a specific kind of vibe she needs to feel from you.

One that makes her passions throb.

Not just her physical passion, but a deeper emotional and spiritual passion.

Most men don’t know how to create this experience in a way that feels safe or trustable for her.

Why?

Because we’re stuck in our heads.

We try to analyze our way closer to her.

We try to solve our wife’s emotions like a math problem.

That’s us reacting to her moods instead of tuning in to what’s behind them.

We think providing solutions makes us her knight in shining armor.

What it really says is that we don’t know how to be ok unless she’s ok.

You Can’t Deepen Intimacy By Anylizing Her Emotions

If you’re a high-achieving man, chances are you’ve built a great life by analyzing problems and finding solutions.

But that same gift can sabotage your relationship.

When your wife gets cold or distant, your mind wants to troubleshoot her like a misfiring engine.
- “She’s overwhelmed because she procrastinates.”
- “I do more than her; She has no right to complain.”
- “She is always like this, enough is enough.”
These narratives are your analytical mind talking.

The caveman version, who only sees one layer deep.

You’re trying to make sense of something emotional using logic.

Your logic will only create distance, silence, and withdrawal from her.

There Isn’t Anything To Fix In Her

When your wife doesn’t make sense, it’s easy to:
- Get angry
- Withdraw
- Try to control the situation
- Shut down entirely
Those reactions don’t deepen intimacy, foster understanding, or attract the love you crave.

Start noticing the story your brain tells you about her—And let the story go.

A better response looks like this:

You walk into the room.

She just got out of the shower.

You expected cuddles… but she’s sitting there, pouty and distant.

You feel a change in your body.

Your mind wants to explain it:
- “She’s rejecting me again.”
- “I didn’t do anything wrong.”
- “This always happens.”
Stop. Drop the story.

Instead, feel what’s underneath.

There’s a longing. A desire. A hope for closeness that just got disappointed.

Don’t explain it. Don’t fix it. Don’t defend it.

Just see it. Sit with it. Share it from that vulnerable, calm place if you can.

You’ll deepen intimacy when you lead this kind of openness and non-judgment.

She’s Not Her Wound & And Neither Are You

Your wife’s emotions aren’t her, they’re her pain speaking.

Everything changes when:
- You show understanding to the wound instead of reacting to the behavior
- You hold your ground without judgment
- You show her you see her (even in the messy, angry, pouty moments)
- She realizes you’re strong enough not to be pulled into her chaos
- She feels safe, seen, and valued.
That’s when she can finally open up to you again.

The only way you can separate her from her wounds in your mind is to be able to do this with yourself.

You are not your feelings or wounds.

You are just the one having them.

You are actually ok, worthy, and amazing, even if your brain tells you stories that make you feel not ok.

Feelings are not instructions.

They are a mirror reflecting the quality of your thoughts.

Your Next Step to Deepen Intimacy, Loyalty, and Respect

This isn’t beginner-level stuff.

It takes practice, intentionality, and often, guidance.

When you stop reacting and start leading emotionally, you’ll become the kind of man every woman dreams of:
- Present
- Unshakable
- Deeply connected (to yourself and her)
If you’re ready to learn how to have this kind of masculine presence:

Every Woman’s “Wet Dream” (And How to Become It)

Being in every woman’s “wet dream” might sound far-fetched.

Being in her positive thoughts at all might be a long shot from where you are right now.

One could even argue women don’t have “wet dreams”…

But here’s what we do know: We crave our woman’s adoration.

Her affection can erase the worst day.

Her curves, her scent, the way she melts into us… It makes the stress of life disappear!

If we depend on her sweetness to feel whole, we fall apart when she can’t give it.

That’s where a lot of men find themselves.

He’s tasted her warmth.

Now he’s desperate for it to stay on repeat.

Scratch that…He NEEDS it to.

Every woman’s “wet dream” is about a specific kind of man.

It’s not the desperate man.

Let me show you who he is.

Loving Her Through Her Pain

A woman can put on a soft, affectionate mask.

But inside, she’s feeling everything.

She feels highs, lows, in-betweens, all of it.

And not just once in a while…Every day.

This doesn’t mean she’s broken.

It means she’s feminine.

She’s designed by nature to experience life on full volume.

Most women don’t love this about themselves.

They know when they’re being moody or dramatic, but they feel powerless to stop it.

When we react or try to fix her, she feels judged for something she can’t change.

She’s drowning, and we’re mad at her for not having gills.

We think, “If I can set my feelings aside and be rational, why can’t she?”

Expecting her to be a woman with a beard doesn’t work.

You have to see the girl behind the pain, and love that girl through it.

She feels your love when you believe in who she is and don’t take the bait when she’s being emotional.

Being the Man in Every Woman’s “Wet Dream”

Every woman dreams of a man who accepts her as she is.

Not because she’s easy to love, but because he doesn’t need her to be anything else.

When we try to control her out of our own insecurity, the relationship starts to feel like a cage to her.

How many times have you criticized what you didn’t like, hoping she’d go back to being nurturing, sweet, and sexy?

It doesn’t work.

Control kills connection.

Judgment kills desire.

If you feel the need to explain yourself, If you’re trying to make her see your side, You’re not loving her through the pain. You’re reacting to it.

You don’t need to fix her.

You don’t need to match her mood.

Let her words roll off you like water off a duck’s back.

See the uniqueness in her struggle.

If her being out of sorts makes you annoyed, that’s YOUR stuff you’re feeling, not hers.

How to Make Her Wet For You

The process is simple.

Masculine energy makes women soft.

Feminine energy makes men erect.

The only way you can remain in your masculine energy around your wife is to not look to things outside you for validation.

That’s what I help men do.

I help you forge an internal script you use to go through life.

This script is your instruction manual for whatever life tosses your way, even your wife’s feelings!

This Secretly Turns Her On (But She’ll Never Admit It)

What secretly turns her on isn’t flowers, date nights, or compliance. It’s something deeper, something EMOTIONALLY dynamic.

And if you’re not giving it to her? Her heart will drift.

Most men are blindsided when their wife suddenly says, “I love you, but I’m not in love with you”

And understandably so.

There were no screaming matches.

No big fights.

No obvious red flags.

Everything seemed… fine.

“Fine” is a red flag.

The feminine experience is always full of emotions.

A woman who feels connected to you will share her full range of feelings with you.

But if you feel unsafe, she will close off.

Her removal of emotions can feel like calm waters, but it’s the red flag to watch out for.

What Secretly Turns Her On: Emotional Forplay

We men think of foreplay as sexual touch.

For women, foreplay happens emotionally.

She feels erotic tease from playful tension, not avoiding her emotions.

She’s turned on by strength, not soft appeasement.

She wants a man who can handle her without going emotionally limp.

She tests constantly.

Not out of cruelty, but from a deep, unconscious need to know:“Is this man grounded? Can he handle me? Can he hold me emotionally without going soft?”

It might come out as a complaint or a mood swing, but it’s a form of emotional foreplay.

When You’re Too Nice, It Turns Her Off

If she senses that you adjust everything to please her…

If your tone rises and falls based on her tone…

If you’re constantly sacrificing your needs to avoid conflict…

Or carefully choosing your words to not rock the boat…

You’re making love to her with a limb emotional noodle.

The feminine cannot fully trust or be attracted to an emotional noodle softer than hers.

Emotional Tussle Is the Foreplay She Needs

Men get turned on by visual and physical beauty.

Women? They’re turned on by having an emotional tussle.

When she can push up against you emotionally and feel that you’re solid, unshakable, present, and leading with clarity it sparks something deep.

It’s a form of seduction.

You are emotionally erect, penetrating through her feelings with calm, powerful direction.

That’s the foreplay her nervous system is dying for.

Not good-boy behaviors.

Not reactive asshole moves.

Just a man who stays in his own emotional lane.

What Secretly Turns Her On: A Man Rooted in His Mission

She lives in the now. Emotionally.

You, as the man, must live from the future you’re building.

What does that mean?

Even if right now she’s cold, distant, or closed off, you don’t let that define you.

You show up as the man who already lives in the amazing future you’re committed to.

Adventure. Passion. Freedom. Stability.

Whatever that vision is… Behave like it’s yours.

Embody it. Speak it. Prophesy it into the relationship by selling the vision.

This is how you create intimacy in an otherwise mundane marriage.

Ready to Become That Man?

This is the work I do with men every day.

Whether you want to save your marriage or attract real connection in your dating life, it starts with you being the grounded, calm, masculine leader she can feel in your tone and vibe.

How To Break Porn Addiction

Let’s talk about what it really takes to break porn addiction. This isn’t about making you feel bad.

It’s not about what’s right or wrong. It’s about not letting anything have control over you.

Why I Decided To Break My Porn Addiction

For years, I leaned on porn like a crutch.

I told myself I wasn’t addicted.

Quitting anytime seemed like it would be easy enough.

Then I tried to stop, and boy was I wrong.

I realized porn wasn’t a pastime for me, it had become an addiction.

When my marriage fell apart, I finally got tired of giving my energy to images and videos of women who didn’t love me.

I wanted something REAL.

A REAL girl, dripping with desire, craving my touch, and caring about me.

I realized if I wanted real intimacy in my life, I needed to break my porn addiction since those girls were just actors.

The truth is, if we say “yes” to fake lovers, by default, we’re saying “no” to real lovers.

Porn didn’t just kill my time, it drained my confidence to look my wife in the eye with nothing to hide.

It softened my leadership, fearful I would be found out.

It disconnected me from my partner by making me defensive about my integrity.

These behaviors destroyed our sex life.

Like a bottomless pit that takes and never gives back, porn left me drained of my vitality.

It rewired my brain to think I had created a real, loving connection in my life when I hadn’t created one at all.

If you want to break porn addiction, here’s what worked for me:

1: I Changed What Feeling Horny Means To Me

Feeling horny isn’t a problem.

You’re supposed to feel attracted to naked women and erotic play.

You are not broken for waking up with a raging hard-on.

These are not things to suppress or make your wife’s responsibility to manage!

That’s what I had to change.

To me, feeling horny meant my wife needed to do her job and have sex with me.

Old me thought, “I need to release this tension.”

New me? “This tension is fuel to create, build, and lead.”

That mindset shift alone made me want to hold my power and love what sexual tension feels like in my body.

I don’t need anyone to “take care” of my horniness.

I learned to be ok feeling horny, knowing that energy makes me energized to get a lot of shit done.

2: I Defined My Values In Writing

Not just in my head. On paper.

“I’m a man who only gives his amazing sexuality to real women, with real emotions, real problems, real connection.”

That became my filter.

Not shame. Not fear. Not web browser filters.

Just a HIGHER standard for what I give my amazing sexuality to.

Fake cam girls aren’t good enough.

A lady I’ll never meet or have a real connection with is a non-option.

I started seeing myself as a PRIZE not available to the lowest bidder.

I started valuing REAL intimacy over FAKE intimacy and seeing MYSELF as the creator of it.

3: I Stopped Outsourcing My Power

Accountability partners, app blockers, guilt trips, praying…

They never helped me break porn addiction.

Why?

Because they relied on things OUTSIDE me for accountability.

What finally worked?

Holding myself to my own INTERNAL standards…even when no one was watching.

Living to my INTERNAL standards produced feelings of self-respect, integrity, and confidence.

I have to wake up with myself for the rest of my life.

I love being able to look at myself in the mirror with pride.

I value this feeling MORE than then the “quick fix” porn offered.

Until you find something you value MORE than what porn offers, its chains will hold you prisoner.

That’s my challenge for you.

What will you not settle for less than?

4: I Transmuted My Energy

I didn’t try to shut off my sex drive to break porn addiction.

I redirected it into my relationships, my work, my health, my mission.

Porn was a dead-end.

Real life? Real connection? Real creation?

That takes all the balls I’ve got.

The feeling of intense, raging horniness without release became something I looked forward to.

It’s what gave me the stamina to listen to my partner when she needed to talk on and on.

I remind myself, “This is what it feels like when I’m powerful enough to create something I never otherwise would have had the stamina to create.”

I practice breathing up the front of my body, pulling that power away from my balls and into my eyes and mind.

It gives me a mental edge.

It makes my face bright and potent.

Ladies are drawn to my pheromones.

I have the energy for adventure, and to stay present when my partner needs me to be her rock.

If you want MORE money, MORE love, MORE freedom, you can’t make sexually sedated, limp-dick efforts.

You have to face whatever terrifies you the most.

The thing that’s blocking your cash flow or best life.

If you are going to bed with blue balls, then you are not facing big enough problems during the day that use your energy up.

What You Can Do Next If You Want To Break Porn Addiction

If trying to break porn addiction is stealing your energy, your focus, your fire…

You don’t need more shame or regret.

It’s 100% possible to kiss porn goodbye and become a man you’re proud of.

Not because someone told you to.

But because you finally chose to.

The masculine confidence framework I take men through gets you in touch with your inner power.

Until you stop letting things outside you control you, you’ll keep trying to shut off the very thing you need to sit with.

You’ll keep holding things outside you (like your wife) responsible for the tension in your body.

This is YOUR tension, YOUR body.

Being able to sit with tension is how great men move through life, creating “impossible” things.

Would you like to be that kind of man?

Why Nice Guys End Up in Sexless Marriages
Nice guys end up in sexless marriages, not because they’re bad men, but because they’ve been fed some lies about what it means to be a man.

They think being “nice,” agreeable, and emotionally accommodating will keep the peace and keep the connection alive.

But here’s the gut punch: nice guys often kill attraction without even realizing it.

The 22-minute video below explains more.

Nice Guys End Up in Sexless Marriages By Not Being Solid In Themselves

Most men don’t realize that the very behaviors they believe will save their relationship are actually killing the spark.

Attraction needs:
- Polarity
- Boundaries
- Your spine
…Not a man who’s constantly tiptoeing around her emotions, hoping not to rock the boat.

I know this story because I lived it.

I was the “good husband.”

The peacekeeper.

The emotional chameleon who thought avoiding conflict would make me desirable.

It didn’t.

And the truth is, your wife can’t choose to feel attraction.

So stop demanding it from her.

Stop bending over backward for it.

Feminine desire doesn’t respond to logic or “not being like your dad”, It responds to energy.

When your energy is soft, accommodating, and afraid to lead, the spark dies.

That’s how nice guys end up in sexless marriages without ever seeing it coming.

Are You Showing Up As A Man You Are Proud Of?

When you live with purpose, hold standards, and speak from your emotional truth, your confidence grows.

You stop chasing approval.

You stop begging for scraps.

And sometimes, yes…that kind of personal growth often reignites her desire.

And if it doesn’t? You’ll have the clarity to walk away.

Knowing you showed up as your best self gives you peace of mind and freedom.

How To Gain Confidence In Your Relationship

A man must thrive without feminine support before he can thrive with it.

How about having:
- More confidence
- More passion
- More success
- More connection
All of this is gained when I coach you privately.

Taking Charge Of Love & Romance In Your Marriage
Let’s talk about taking charge of love and romance in your marriage. I’ll help you see why restoring intimacy is a game of inches in a long-term relationship.

The Steps Towards Romance

A quick fix.

A magic pill.

That’s what we men like.

While dating, your partner was probably down for a quickie at the drop of a hat.

Those were good times!

But that’s history.

Leading love and romance back into a marriage of 18+ years won’t happen overnight.

This, my friend, is a game of inches.

Why? Because you didn’t end up here overnight.

Years of dashed expectations and misunderstandings have accumulated.

You won’t have to face everything that’s become a wedge between you and your wife.

But you will have to become a man who behaves very differently from how you have in the past.

Stop Killing Intimacy & Romance

Your wife’s affection, desire, and intimacy are fragile and delicate.

This does not mean you need to tiptoe around her feelings to “get lucky”.

She needs you to meet her where she is and be content with that.

So where is she?
- Closed off?
- Withdrawn?
- Critical & emotional?
Meet her there with love and acceptance.

Don’t need her to change.

Don’t try to have sex with her, just enjoy & celebrate who she is.

Her erotic desire shatters if we go for sex when she isn’t turned on.

The game of inches to achieve intimacy in a long-term relationship has many small steps we men tend to jump past.

Let’s say your wife is in a bad mood.

Moods are one of the inches toward intimacy, the start of a romance, depending on how you handle them.

What do we men tend to do?

We rush PAST the mood to something more physical (like cuddling)…And then get rejected!

Or we try to fix her mood…And get rejected!

Some guys will even criticise her mood, or get angry…And get rejected!

We killed the intimacy.

Don’t try to change where she is, just be present with it.

If she gives her hand, don’t take her arm.

Women crave a man who goes for what he wants, but she needs you to meet her where she is before hitting the gas pedal.

How Many Inches Does It Take To Reach Intimacy?

Some have said there are 12 steps towards intimacy.

I’ve outlined 6 before.

But size doesn’t matter.

If you have a whopping 45 minutes to listen to me babble about taking charge of love and romance in your marriage, check out the video below.

In the video, I give you a list of ways to tell when you should take the lead and go for sex.

For those on a time budget, I’ll cut to the chase.

Forget how many steps or inches there are between your chest and hers.

Keeping score will keep you frustrated.

What you can do right now is STOP letting your horniness be the deciding factor for when you initiate sex.

Your sexual tension is not her problem.

You might say, “But she’s doing yoga in those tight pants today, and it’s turning me on”!

That’s not her problem either.

Your feelings are your problem, and nobody else’s.

Focus on understanding where SHE is right now and simply connect with her THERE.

Your relaxed presence and listening ear will move her one inch closer to intimacy at a pace that’s correct for her.

Sometimes it will be as fast as a few minutes.

Other times, it will be as slow as a few months.

If you’re watching the clock, your vibe of frustration and urgency will keep her at arm’s length indefinitely.

Just look at nature.

When the doe isn’t in heat, the buck is wasting his time trying to get her in the mood.

Graze in the pasture with her.

Jump in front of headlights.

Do epic, fun deer shit.

The breedin’ will happen when it’s breedin’ time.

Can’t I At Least Get A Hug Until Then?

Your wife will wrap her arm around you without thinking when she feels accepted by you.

Accepted where she is.

Unlike deer, women don’t have to wait once a year to feel frisky.

She’s multi-orgasmic and capable of enough intimacy to make us beg for mercy.

She just needs to experience you as a secure man, so she can experience herself as a girl who wants that man.

Stuffing your feelings down doesn’t make you a man.

Neither does watching football, driving a Lambo, or arguing your logic to her.

Being a man means you are clear, focused, deliberate, and intentional.

It also means you know why you choose to live, and you know why you love that reason.

You love that reason so much that even when your wife pulls back, you still have a good day.

You don’t need to be right or prove your worth to get her to want you.

You just need to hold your head high and not let your feelings control your behavior (your feelings are your problem, not hers, remember?).

A man takes action.

He goes first.

He’s a leader and a shield to those who are vulnerable.

The true mark of a mature man is when you understand that all your fear, lack of confidence, urgency, and desperation come from your perspectives, not reality.

As far as intimacy goes, focus on being a mature man and let nature take its course.
