Our wife’s love and affection is empowering, but when her commitment is unclear it can feel like the rug got pulled out. This article will help you take control when your marriage is slipping away by helping you see that nothing done out of fear can create LONG-TERM closeness in a relationship.
The Airplane Of Uncertianty
Imagine you’re on an airplane.
30 minutes into the flight, the intercom comes on.
“Hello, this is your captain speaking. The weather is stormy today! We don’t know our current location or how much fuel we have. On behalf of AAA Airlines, we would like to thank you for choosing us to reach your final destination.”
Very few passengers would remain relaxed with this sort of announcement.
If a glance out the aircraft window revealed smoke from the left engine, fear could turn into panic.
When our wife’s commitment to the marriage becomes uncertain, we can become paralyzed with fear….And panic!
Fear is a deceptive thing.
Reactions from fear FEEL logical in the moment, but fear-based responses RARELY help a critical situation.
“Plane Crash Adverted By Passenger Panic”…Said no newspaper title ever!
Here’s the twist.
You’re not a passenger on the “airplane of uncertianty”, you are the captain.
As captain, you can land the plane even if your wife has pulled the eject button.
Many guys I’ve coached found after he “landed the plane”, his wife’s parachute dropped her back into his love life.
“Landing the plane” means no longer:
- Demanding her love and loyalty
- Thinking the “other guy” is a threat to getting what you want
- Trying to convince her why you are the better choice
- Wallowing in your agony
- Chasing her for affection and time
- Forcing her to be decisive and know what she wants
The list above is what I call “guy drama”.
“Guy drama” comes from our inner little boy, not the mature man.
Little boys fall on the ground at the grocery store and cry for candy when their mommy won’t give it to them.
Little boys also wine, complain, and let their FEELINGS guide their actions.
Trust me, your wife craves a MAN, not a boy.

I would love for you to have MORE love, MORE attraction, and MORE intimacy in your life!
The season when those things are low can feel brutal.
You have the potential to be confident, secure, and happy RIGHT NOW.
If you’ve read this far, then YOU are the kind of man who has the fortitude to make positive changes.
