  • How To Set Boundaries With Your Wife

    How To Set Boundaries With Your Wife

    You’ll know how to set boundaries with your wife when you clarify what you value.

    The mistake most people make is using boundaries like a sword instead of a shield.

    I’m going to teach you a simple, no-BS approach to boundaries.

    One that actually works.

    I explain more in the 15-minute video below, which includes an invitation to join The Vital Formula To Masculine Confidence Course.

    YouTube player

    What Bad Boundaries Look Like

    Most people are using boundaries like a weapon.

    They think boundaries are about forcing other people to stop annoying them.

    That’s because 95% of people aren’t fully aware of where feelings come from.

    They falsely believe boundaries can control how others make them feel.

    This is all wrong.

    Your feelings don’t come from other people.

    They come from YOU.

    YOUR triggers.

    YOUR perceptions and attachment to specific outcomes.

    Your brain interprets the world through YOUR five senses (which, by the way, are very limited).

    Think of boundaries like a fence.

    If you use your negative feelings to build the fence, it’s built on something you don’t want.

    Boundaries should clarify what you DO want.

    Like a fence that defines and protects what’s most important to you.

    What Good Boundaries Look Like

    A good boundary protects something you value because it’s vital for you.

    That’s the key…it’s positive!

    Your phone dies if you never charge it, right?

    You’re no different.

    When you get crystal clear on what keeps you recharged, draw a line in the sand so you don’t exhaust it.

    No more over-giving. No more over-accommodating. No more over-serving.

    That’s a good boundary.

    So what recharges you?

    • Time in nature?
    • Meaningful conversation?
    • A night with the boys?
    • Intimacy with your wife?

    Protect those things with a boundary, brother.

    Protect both how you receive it and how much you give.

    We all have behaviors that make us proud of who we are, they light us up so we feel self-respect.

    Don’t bend on them.

    A boundary around respect means nobody can push you into acting disrespectfully.

    A boundary around love means nobody can push you into acting unloving.

    If you want strong boundaries with your wife, dig your heels in and hold the line on these things.

    If you don’t like how she’s acting?

    Don’t join her, step back.

    That’s your boundary because you know what you value and what you deserve.

    Boundaries Are for BIG Things

    Moods? Petty frustrations? Minor annoyances?

    They don’t need to have boundaries enforced on them.

    Boundaries are for the BIG things.

    DEALBREAKERS.

    The experiences that would make you step out of someone’s life.

    Your wife is always going to have feelings, pushback, and moods…it’s part of her nature.

    You must be the rock.

    • When she’s stormy, stay grounded.
    • When she’s emotional, stand firm.
    • When she tests you, don’t react.

    That’s having a masculine frame for her feminine behaviors. 

    But the moment she crosses the line of what you deeply value…

    BOOM.

    That’s when your boundary comes out for the kinds of people you keep in your life.

    The first time your boundary gets crossed warrants a verbal affirmation of what you value and won’t tolerate.

    The 2nd time requires a more severe consequence.

    By the third offense, you remove yourself from that person’s life.

    That’s how serious boundaries are.

    How To Set Boundaries With Your Wife Through Coaching

    This is the work I do with men.

    We dig deep into your core values and get you rock-solid on how to stand firm in them.

    You become a man who is a responder, not a reactor.

    A man who fills the space that’s his to fill and lets her do the same.

    1:1 coaching isn’t for guys who dabble.

    It’s for men who want the maximum return on their investment.

    Men who don’t pussyfoot around! They go big or go home.

    Does that sound like you?

  • The 3 Stages Of Detachment Before Divorce

    The 3 Stages Of Detachment Before Divorce

    Today, we’re going deeper into the 3 stages of detachment a woman goes through before she ends a relationship, and how to turn each around. If you don’t catch it early, you’ll find yourself blindsided when your wife says she needs space. And I’m not talking about the kind of “space” where she’s just tired tonight; I’m talking about when she’s considering divorce.

    YouTube player

    1. Emotional Detachment

    This is the first stage many women go through before they start checking out of a relationship.

    It’s also the easiest to miss.

    Emotional detachment begins when she stops feeling seen, heard, or valued in the relationship.

    Her emotional needs aren’t being met, and over time, her heart closes off.

    This doesn’t happen overnight.

    She used to share her thoughts, feelings, and worries with you.

    But now? She keeps them to herself.

    Bringing up the little things no longer happens because she’s already convinced herself you won’t understand.

    At this stage, you might notice:

    • She’s less engaged in conversations.
    • She stops initiating affection or spending quality time.
    • She’s quick to get irritated over small things.
    • She begins focusing more on her friends, work, hobbies, or anything but you.

    You can turn this around by learning how to connect with her heart instead of her head.

    The best place to practice is inside yourself.

    Notice whenever your brain wants to know WHY.

    Asking WHY often pulls people into analysis.

    Asking WHAT pulls people into their experience.

    What does it feel like?

    What does it sound like?

    Answering from those “what” places is how you lead a heart-to-heart conversation.

    2. Spiritual Detachment

    Once she emotionally detaches, she starts seeing a future without you.

    This is when she stops believing in “us.”

    Women stay in relationships when they feel a deep sense of trust and emotional safety.

    Not just physically, but spiritually.

    When she’s spiritually detached, she starts to imagine what life would be like without you.

    She stops picturing you in her future and instead envisions her life alone or with someone who actually feels magnetic to be around.

    Signs of spiritual detachment include:

    • She stops making long-term plans with you.
    • She avoids deep conversations about the future.
    • She doesn’t care to argue anymore (because she’s already mentally checking out).
    • She’s indifferent to your efforts to “fix” things.

    Most men think being spiritual means that they believe in God or prayer.

    But spirituality is about the energy you carry with you everywhere you go, like an invisible force field.

    Is your energy tense or calm?

    Is it curious or demanding?

    Feminine is very tuned into the vibe you bring to the room, and she reacts from that more than anything else you do.

    You can sense it too.

    That’s why you can be lying next to her in bed but feel miles apart.

    You’re sensing that the ENERGY isn’t connected.

    You can close the spiritual distance by being playful rather than critical.

    A man with the deep trust that everything is going to be ok exudes a magnetic spiritual vibe.

    3. Physical Detachment

    By the time she physically detaches, she’s already gone in her mind.

    Her body follows what her heart has been feeling for months or years.

    This is when she stops wanting to be touched, avoids intimacy, moves into another room, or moves out of the house entirely.

    At this stage, if you try to force closeness, it only reinforces her belief that you don’t understand her.

    She sees it as pressure, not love;

    Kind of like when a salesman follows you around a store even after you’ve said, “I’m just looking.”

    What physical detachment looks like:

    • She stops wanting to be intimate or withdraws from sex.
    • She recoils from physical touch.
    • She prefers to be alone rather than spend time together.
    • She starts sleeping separately (or expresses a desire to move out).

    Turning around physical detachment is very paradoxical; it requires being OK with her detachment.

    Quite literally, detach from needing her detachment to change.

    Don’t Fear Drifting Apart, Give Her Space

    Most men react to their wife’s withdrawal by chasing her harder.

    They try to fix things, talk it out, or prove their love through desperate gestures.

    But that only makes things worse.

    Instead of chasing, you need to shift your focus inward.

    Every insecurity and fear you feel is a window into how you interpret the world.

    When I’m coaching a man, it’s not to save his marriage, it’s to save him.

    Until you save yourself from yourself, the patterns that got your marriage to this point will keep driving a wedge.


  • How To Have Certainty When Her Commitment Is Unclear

    How To Have Certainty When Her Commitment Is Unclear

    Your 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 Uncertainty

    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 Averted By Passenger Panic,”…said no newspaper title ever!

    Here’s the twist.

    You’re not a passenger on the “airplane of uncertainty”; 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 that 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 whine, complain, and let their FEELINGS guide their actions.

    Trust me, your wife craves a MAN, not a boy.

    What To Do When Her Commitment Is Unclear

    In the 25-minute video below, I cover 3 areas that will give you more clarity about how to show up as the MAN when your wife is uncertain of her love for you.

    YouTube player


    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.

    But you can 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.

    Your ability to remain unperturbed in your positive, loving, happy, and fun self when your wife’s commitment is unclear is the only path to evoking her desire to join you in being those things. 

    How do you gain this kind of rock-solid, attractive mojo?

    By facing your greatest fears, triggers, and wounds.

    That crap welling up prevents your wife from relaxing around you.

    A woman who isn’t relaxed will never feel soft, affectionate, tender, or passionate.

    You don’t need her commitment to be clear; you need clarity of who YOU are when her commitment is unclear.

    Let’s do that now.

  • How To Never Be Rejected For Sex Again

    How To Never Be Rejected For Sex Again

    Many men are rejected for sex without realizing how they are preventing the intimacy they crave. Dive into this article or watch the video below to discover why women are drawn to men who can face rejection with confidence.

    Men Who Act Frustrated When Rejected For Sex Experience A Snowball Effect of Rejection

    Rejection by your wife can be frustrating.

    This frustration can push her further away, creating a never-ending cycle of more rejection.

    When our sexual energy is pent-up, it can feel like a problem that needs an immediate solution.

    Being wildly horny in itself isn’t the problem.

    How we act when we feel urgent is what turns your wife off.   

    Although an orgasm seems like an obvious solution, anytime you act desperate, needy, demanding, or mopey, you are putting negative pressure on your wife.

    Negative pressure is a HUGE libido killer for women.

    Sexually frustrated men tend to use their own level of desire to determine if they should initiate intimacy.

    This also leads to more rejection.

    Our wife can sense if we are trying to make love because WE can’t handle our own instincts, or if we are initiating because SHE is ripe for engaging it.

    Acting on our feelings with no awareness of her emotional state is a guaranteed path to rejection.

    She Wants Intimacy With A Man Who Holds His Agency

    I used to believe that my feelings were my wife’s job to take care of.

    If I was hungry, she should feed me.

    If I was horny, she should make love to me.

    This mindset made me feel like a victim of her moods and dependent on her for my happiness.

    Making others responsible for how we feel is a path to codependency, victimhood, and a sense of neediness.

    A man who takes responsibility for his own feelings talks differently.

    He won’t say, “You’re making me angry,” he will say, “I feel my anger”.

    A man who plays the victim will say things like, “That person is making me feel disrespected”.

    A man who owns his agency will say, “My thoughts about that person are making me feel disrespected”.

    Men who hold their agency are attractive to women.

    Your wife wants to feel that you can hold your emotions AND her emotions without losing your agency.

    How To Stop Getting Rejected For Sex

    Imagine there is a green light and a red light on every woman’s forehead.

    If you try to initiate physical intimacy with your wife when the light is red, it will push her away.

    My advice?

    ONLY INITIATE WHEN HER LIGHT IS GREEN.

    Nearly every guy I coach who is frustrated in the bedroom is initiating when she’s giving clear signals to stop.

    We can’t turn her red light green by getting all cuddly and affectionate with her.

    A woman’s desire for intimacy comes in seasons, and she can’t just flip a switch to turn it on.

    There’s no use in getting upset with her season, just like there’s no use in getting upset if it’s summer or winter.

    There is an irony to this.

    When we are happy, inspired, successful, and fun without her giving us sex, the sooner her season changes.

    If you struggle to know when her light is green, read my article 6 Signs She Wants You To Be More Bold In The Bedroom“.

    How To Stop Acting Like A Sexually Frustrated Man

    Women are not attracted to horny, sexually frustrated men.

    But they are attracted to sexy men!

    So what’s the difference?

    Horny, sexually frustrated men can’t handle discomfort.

    Sexy men face discomfort.

    Horny, sexually frustrated men act impulsively.

    Sexy men act deliberately.

    Many horny, sexually frustrated men think they need sex 3 or 5 times a day.

    Here’s the truth.

    When you have BETTER sex, you’ll crave sex less.

    Better sex is enthusiastic, wild, connected, and erotic.

    Before we can have better sex, we first need to build emotional intimacy with our partner.  

    Not taking things personally and tuning into her emotions to validate them is how she feels emotional intimacy.  

    In my coaching, I teach you how to THINK to feel empowered by things that used to drive you crazy.

    Don’t believe this helps?

    Right now, imagine biting into a freshly cut lemon… Imagine your teeth squeezing the tart juice out as it drips down your lips… Did your mouth start to water?

    Your mouth is watering because of the THOUGHT you just fed in your mind.

    Sexually frustrated men need to feed new thoughts!

    I’ll show you how.

  • 4 Critical Steps To Healing A Broken Heart After Your Wife Walks Away

    4 Critical Steps To Healing A Broken Heart After Your Wife Walks Away

    Healing a broken heart after your wife walks away happens in stages. Men are affected by heartbreak differently than women, so the steps to heal are a little different. This article and the video below will help you take the right steps to feeling better.

    YouTube player

    The Pain Of Heartbreak

    Loss of appetite.

    Tears. 

    Inability to sleep.

    Feeling like a used rag flushed down the toilet. 

    Nausea.

    Shortness of breath. 

    What a man goes through when the woman he loves divorces him is no joke. 

    Healing a broken heart after your wife walks away is possible if you follow time-proven steps.

    Why Should Healing A Broken Heart After Your Wife Walks Away Be The Focus?

    When we’re suffering from the loss of our marriage, we men tend to hyper-focus on ONE thing…getting our wife back!

    We think if we could get our wife back, all our suffering would end and the world would feel like a happy place again.

    However, making our wife want to be with us is out of our control.

    We will get stuck in grief for years if we focus on things we can’t control.

    The other problem with focusing on getting our runaway wife back is it leaves us feeling like a powerless victim.

    You know a man feels like a powerless victim when he…

    • Complains about his situation
    • Blames others for the choices he “had” to make
    • Defends why his pain is “different” from what other men face
    • Argues and raises his voice
    • Focuses on all the negative things that make his situation seem “unchangeable.”
    • Always brings up his ex in conversation to point out that she left him and why the relationship could’ve been fixed


    Many songs have been written about men who pined for a woman who stopped loving him until he died.

    Is that any way to live?

    Misery puts a dark cloud over life itself.

    Healing a broken heart after your wife walks away is 100% in our control, and that is why we must focus on it.

    You know a man is staying focused on what’s 100% in his control when he…

    • Sees the cup as half full instead of half empty
    • Can clearly describe what his bright, amazing, love-filled future will look like
    • Stops acting urgent
    • No longer holds others responsible to change for his life to be amazing
    • Bravely makes BIG, BOLD choices to create what he wants (even if nobody else approves)
    • Doesn’t allow fear, loneliness, or desperation to dictate the choices he makes
    • Takes full responsibility for how he feels without holding others liable

    4 Steps To Healing A Broken Heart After Your Wife Walks Away

    1. Come to terms with your denial of reality.

    During a marriage, it’s best if we focus on the positives of our partner. However, after divorce, it’s time to notice what was not positive about our wife. We can easily romanticize her, which perpetuates our suffering. Coming to terms with reality means accepting that she isn’t all the amazing things we thought she was. We need to believe that we deserve better. A self-respecting man will not throw himself at a woman who clearly does not love him. The reality we must accept is that she no longer loves us, and clinging to her prevents the love we want from coming into our lives.

    2. Go alone in nature and unload all your anger.

    We will not be able to heal if we try to suppress our emotions. Go out in nature (far away from people) and fully unload all your anger about the relationship ending. Feel the anger from your head to your toes. An emotion that isn’t fully experienced can fester for decades, keep us stuck, and lead to PTSD. You might find the anger shifts to grief, regret, or resentment. Whatever emerges, get it all out. The goal is to let our body naturally heal by progressing through a whole range of emotions.

    3. Grab a journal and vent all your “if onlys” and all the things you wish you could have made your wife understand.

    When our wife leaves us, our brain will stew and stew on it, analyzing every angle, desperate to find a fix. Mental exhaustion ensues. It leaves us dazed. We can hardly function at our normal capacity. Use your laptop or journal to unload everything in your brain. Write out all your “if onlys”, “what ifs”, and everything you want to explain to your ex. Do not send her any of your epiphanies! Our subconscious can’t tell if we’re using paper or her as a sounding board. Using paper (instead of her) provides relief as if she were there to listen & understand our perspective.

    4. Let yourself grieve the loss

    Letting go and grieving the loss of the relationship is the hardest part. Some call this stage “the lament.” A lament is to mourn what we lost, grieve what will never be, and let go of the story we’ve been clinging to. Hanging onto our suffering does not prove our love for her! I’ve found self-love meditations to be very healing during this stage, along with doing shadow work. It’s important to build a support system during this time, preferably with men who understand your pain and can empathize with how it feels.

    Your Personal Guide To Heal A Broken Heart

    Acceptance is the only path to having a meaningful, happy life, even when life hands us lemons.

    Once we reach acceptance, we can look forward and create a new chapter that’s BETTER than the one we just closed.

    In my book, “A Man’s Vital Guide To Healing Grief” I give a blueprint you can follow to put your broken heart back together and reach acceptance.

    I’ve had my heart broken more than once.

    In my book, I wrote down every step I took to recover so you can have a clear path to follow.

    You know this book will help if you…

    • Wake up at night in a panic that your wife is gone
    • Feel miserable when you see other couples kiss or hold hands
    • Cannot imagine yourself ever attending a wedding again
    • Have lost your will to keep going
    • Feel everything (even your job) is pointless

    Healing a broken heart after your wife walks away can be hindered if we keep holding onto the pain.

    It’s paradoxical, but letting go of the pain feels like letting go of her.

    Part of us doesn’t want to let go, because it feels like we’re giving up or letting her off the hook.

  • How To Be Irresistible To Your Wife

    How To Be Irresistible To Your Wife

    This article reveals how to be irresistible to your wife by building erotic desire through seduction.

    Seduction is not about picking up strange women.

    Seduction is about the art of creating and maintaining feelings of positive emotional tension, including sexual tension.

    Perhaps you have a fairytale version of love in your mind.

    In this fairytale, your wife or girlfriend is magically affectionate, intimate, and sexual with you for 60 years… All because you’re such an easy-going, great guy!

    This rarely happens.

    Like it or not, seduction is a game.

    Playing the game is NOT about being a slimy manipulator who tricks women into liking him.

    Games are about having FUN.

    If you’ve ever had sex, you are already a player in the game of seduction.

    The OUTSIDE Game Of Seduction

    Pickup artists use OUTSIDE game to meet and have sex with new women effectively.

    Fancy clothes, nice cologne, a fancy watch… those are all OUTSIDE things.

    These men know how to catch a woman’s eye.

    The female mind loves the tease, temptation, emotions, and illusion of freedom that OUTSIDE game provides.

    However, if you do not have INSIDE game, new women you seduce with OUTSIDE game will eventually break up with you.

    As they get to know you, they realize it was all smoke and mirrors because everything was just an act to get into her pants.

    The INSIDE Game Of Seduction

    INSIDE game is all about the vibe your behaviors give off under pressure.

    Your inner maturity, confidence, self-esteem, vulnerability, and masculine frame are part of your INSIDE game.

    Without a rock-solid INSIDE game, your wife won’t feel safe opening her heart to you.

    Your relationship is on borrowed time when she feels like she can’t open her heart around you.

    It makes her feel like the relationship has no depth.

    Many younger women become infatuated with “bad boys.”

    They assume if his OUTSIDE game feels confident, then his INSIDE game must be very secure, strong, and competent.

    Sadly, most women who marry “bad boys” realize down the road that his INSIDE game is that of insecurity, self-doubt, and a need for validation.

    Many women who have been burned by a “bad boy” will latch on to a “nice guy” next.

    They assume the “nice guy” will have what the “bad boy” lacks.

    Sadly, most women who marry “nice guys” lose sexual attraction for him.

    His softness, wishy-washiness, aversion to conflict, and lack of boundaries feel boyish and feminine to her.

    Women crave to ravish a man, not a boy.

    Mastering Seduction To Be Irresistible To Your Wife

    To be irresistible to your wife, she needs to be seduced again and again.

    She needs to bounce between your INSIDE game and your OUTSIDE game weekly for the rest of your life.

    On the days she’s drawn to your INSIDE game, she loves how her mood can’t rattle you.

    Her complaints are met with your empathy.

    When she brings up the past, you show understanding without getting defensive.

    You like who you are being.

    You trust your intentions, and she can sense your secure vibe.

    On days she’s drawn to your OUTSIDE game, she’s loving that you’re sexting her during the day.

    You’re giving her a wink and a squeeze on the shoulder, or buying her favorite coffee.

    In other words, you are living your best life, and she’s feeling the invitation to join.

    I used to suck at both INSIDE and OUTSIDE game badly.

    I’ve made it my mission to learn and teach men both by mastering seduction in my own life.

    In my Masculine Confidence Framework, I get raw and personal with you on how to be a masculine man in a 1:1 setting.

    You already have the traits for INSIDE & OUTSIDE game hard-coded into your DNA.

    You were born a man women can’t get enough of.

    But along the way, you may have adopted some faulty beliefs about masculine and feminine that need to be rewritten.

    I will help you spot the mindsets that make you feel indecisive, unclear, wishy-washy, and unattractive towards women.

    This way, you can be naturally good at the game of seduction.

    My Masculine Confidence Framework Can Make You Irresistible To Your Wife

    I pack a lot of the most potent things I’ve learned into my masculine confidence framework.

    Below are 4 ways to tell if my framework will help you.

    Are you a man who can…

    1. Be willing to take constructive feedback
    2. Be willing to laugh at your past mistakes
    3. Be willing to follow through on reading and homework assignments
    4. Be willing to turn down her offers for sex

    That last one might sound strange, but you’ll find out why if we work together.

    I’m willing to take you by the hand and lead you each step of the way.

    This kind of mentorship will save you YEARS of trial and error!

    53 Traits Of A Masculine Man

    The other day, a man reached out to me after watching one of my videos.

    He thought it was pathetic that I teach men how to be masculine, but don’t include things in my videos like cars, golf, or sports.

    There’s something this man hasn’t learned yet

    Although many masculine men do things like sports, fishing, or golf, doing those things won’t make you masculine. 

    Women have a unique gift called a 6th sense.

    This means she can smell your intentions a mile away, even if you’re wearing a Packers jersey in a lifted 4×4 blasting through a mud hole.

    She can smell if you need her validation, if you’re jealous, insecure, or desperate.

    Deep down, your wife wants a man.

    Not a needy boy.

    Not a conflict adverse people pleaser… A MAN. 

    Your Wife Knows If You’re Trying To Overcompensate

    Your woody can be the size of a baseball bat, and you can still have “small dick” energy.

    That’s because your wife doesn’t look at your body to know if you’re masculine; she looks at your emotional world.  

    These 11 behaviors instantly tell your wife you’re not a secure, masculine man.

    1. Being easily triggered, then acting on that trigger
    2. Always need to be right
    3. Holding other people accountable for your happiness
    4. Raising your voice and trying to defend yourself when questioned
    5. Always having an excuse for why you’re innocent
    6. Blaming other people for your misery/lack of success
    7. Having to put others in their place to feel a sense of status or power
    8. Taking other people’s actions as a personal threat
    9. Getting jealous or taking it personally when your wife finds other guys attractive (or men find her attractive)
    10. Resorting to physical force to “make” people respect you
    11. Seeking revenge and going tit for tat when others “do us wrong”

    These behaviours tell your wife that deep down there’s a lack of self-trust, inner security, and self-esteem.

    She can sense that your feelings control you.

    Being controlled by feelings is feminine.

    For her to feel romantic and sexual attraction for you, you need to have a mature relationship with feelings.

    How Mature Masculinity Handles Feelings

    Maybe your dad used to blow up.

    He’d yell at your mom.

    Hit the kids.

    Throw and break stuff.

    Part of you decided long ago, “I’ll never be like him.”

    So you stomach your anger.

    You play it nice.

    Never rock boats.

    But guess what?

    You’ve become your father.

    Even though you’re not breaking things around the house, you’re breaking your own feelings.

    You see masculinity as toxic and try to dissociate yourself from other men.

    You thought a girl would LOVE to be with a man who wasn’t like “those other ass holes”.

    Now your sex life sucks, and you’re chasing your wife for affection.

    She’s not wired to feel attraction to the version of masculinity you’ve conjured up.

    You don’t need to start yelling like your dad, but you do need to stop avoiding feelings.

    The difference your dad never learned is that you are not going to use your feelings as instructions.

    Your values are the only thing you look to when deciding how you will behave.

    That’s what mature masculinity looks like.

    You can have feelings and just be with them without trying to avoid, dismiss, or stuff them down.

    Until you can do this with yourself, you won’t be able to do this with your wife’s feelings.

    Your wife craves a man who can be with her feelings and not try to fix or change them.

    Why Mature Masculinity Can Save Your Marriage

    Marriages are not saved by jumping through hoops until she likes you again.

    Every romantic relationship (regardless of gender) requires one person who is in the masculine spectrum and one who is in the feminine spectrum. 

    Your wife is incapable of feeling soft, affectionate, nurturing, receptive, submissive, or sexually turned on unless you are behaving as a mature, masculine man.

    Once you are that man, relax and let the law of attraction do all the work.

    How You Can Gain The 53 Traits Of Mature Masculinity

    My YouTube critic was correct.

    Fast cars and golf won’t be on our agenda as we develop your masculinity.

    When I teach you my masculine confidence framework, I help you cut the blue wire to your triggers and insecurities.

    I ask you questions so you can see the core beliefs that make you a slave to your emotions.

    I help you create a frame built from values that you would take a bullet for.

    How To Get Your Wife Back With Honesty (3 Myths Busted)

    Debunking Myths On How To Get Your Wife Back

    Let’s pull out the shotgun and eliminate a few misconceptions running feral on the internet.

    Myth 1: You can save your marriage even if your wife doesn’t want to. 

    I’ve been engaging with thousands of men in troubled relationships worldwide for years, and this is unheard of.

    Yes, you can do self-improvement even if she doesn’t want to.

    Sure, you can invite her to join a new standard of interacting in the relationship.

    What’s self-evident is that until SHE decides she wants the marriage to work, fighting for the marriage fails nearly every time.

    I explain this more in my article, Walkaway Wife, Why You Need To STOP Chasing Her.

    What really works is LETTING GO of the marriage and accepting that if she doesn’t want to be married to you, she is free to go.

    I’m not advocating that you should file for divorce, but I am saying you shouldn’t try to resist it.

    Let go of:

    • Needing her to give you certainty
    • Needing her to give you affection
    • Needing her to love you again
    • Needing her to stay for the kids
    • Needing her to see how much she stands to lose

    By letting go, she no longer feels burdened by your NEEDS.

    Needs stink.

    Needs push her away.

    Be ok and let go.

    Myth 2: Opening up more to your wife will bring you closer together.

    This is the kind of advice you’ll hear from women and wiki pages on how to improve relationships.

    Digging everything out from under the rug so you can identify your attachment styles and childhood traumas can be equally as unproductive.

    In the therapy world, it’s called “low-mood therapy” when you try to focus on everything “wrong” with the relationship.

    Despite many women claiming this would have closed the gulf between her and her husband in years past, only about 5% of women have done enough personal development to handle a man’s raw vulnerability.

    For the rest of us in relationships with the remaining 95% of women, we need to trust that having a support system outside the marriage is what works best.

    If you don’t believe me, click HERE to read an excerpt by researcher/author Brene Brown.

    Let your wife do more talking so SHE feels connected.

    Men open up through affection and intimacy, not by talking about the past.

    Your wife is the opposite.

    She needs to get everything off her chest, or she won’t feel affectionate enough to give you the intimacy you need to feel close and bonded with her.

    What she shares doesn’t need to be fixed, it only needs to be heard.

    If you react, get triggered, or defend, divorce is in your cards, brother.

    Myth 3: “No contact” makes her want you.

    I bring this one up all the time.

    Yes, when dating, “absence makes the heart grow fonder“.

    In a long-term relationship, your absence just feels like relief.

    If you want more info on this, read my article, “How To Give Your Wife Space Without Losing Her“, where I discuss what to do instead of “no contact”.

    In a nutshell, there are things like neediness, begging, and pleading that you can stop dumping on her.

    For guys who can’t shut off their insecurities, I do recommend the no-contact rule for HIS sake (not hers).

    How To Get Your Wife Back With Tried & True Practices

    The masculine confidence framework I teach men isn’t about becoming some badass with a sports car and tattoos. 

    I help you build a clear framework so you’ll never second-guess if you’re responding correctly.

    You’ll gain a purpose for your life that goes beyond your wife and kids.

    You can’t awaken your wife’s passion without this kind of clarity and life mission.

    This is a whole new version of yourself she will need to experience.

    Will it get your wife back?

    She will either be strongly attracted or strongly repelled by it.

    That polarizing force is the only way she can have feelings for you again once they’ve been lost.

    What I guarantee is the right woman will be drawn to it, and sometimes that person is your ex.  

    Are you ready to stop relying on YouTube duct tape to patch your relationship together?

  • She Said, “Is Sex All You Think About?” – How To Respond

    She Said, “Is Sex All You Think About?” – How To Respond

    I think every man’s wife or girlfriend, at some point, has said, “Is sex all you think about? It feels like a misunderstanding… a booby trap… a negative assault on a positive thing. Well, keep reading. I’ll show how to defuse your partner’s landmine questions.

    She Said, “Is Sex All You Think About?” – How To Respond

    “Is Sex All You Think About?”

    Make no apology for being male! 

    Reflect on the history of humanity spanning thousands of years.

    Since the beginning, women have been attracted to men with a sex drive.

    She’s been love-sick for the man who gives her children.

    Ladies have chased men simply because they are men.

    Thanks to men’s insatiable drive for physical intimacy, the human race has not gone extinct.

    How cool is that? 

    When a woman says to me, “Is sex all you think about?” I smile and say, yup!

    Sex opens a man’s heart.

    It makes him care.

    Sex is the portal through which men gain emotional connection and bonding. 

    This is how we’re supposed to be wired; there is nothing wrong with it!

    With annoyance, your partner might say, “Is sex all you think about?”

    But that’s a reflection of her mood, not you.

    It’s that simple.

    Her statement isn’t a judgment call; it’s a testimony of her feelings.

    The secret is not to get defensive.

    Don’t give her a lecture on how men need sex.

    This is a time to hear her feelings, not her words.

    It’s Not Personal When She Says, “Is Sex All You Think About?”

    Accusations won’t affect you if you know who you really are.

    If you take other people’s complaints personally, something happens in your subconscious.

    Part of you feels repressed, needing outside validation.

    This creates a split in your personality.

    That split feels like loneliness, depression, lack of motivation, and despair.

    If you try to close the gap by making the other person understand your intentions, you’re not actually healing the split.

    To keep your personality whole and secure, do one thing: Stop letting other people decide what is acceptable or unacceptable about you! 

    There’s a toxic mindset among a lot of men these days. 

    The mindset is that men in their natural form are chauvinistic, patriarchal pigs who need to change for women to want them.

    This is not true.

    At your core, you are a provider.

    There is nothing “toxic” about that.

    You’ll often hear me say, “There are some things we get to know as men that are best not to share with women”.

    Here’s the irony: What I’m sharing in this article is one of those things.

    The masculine error is when we get so focused on success and providing that we are not fully present in the moment.

    That’s what she feels when she says, “Is sex all you think about”?

    To her, your drive for intimacy seems poorly timed.

    The present moment isn’t sexual for her, and it feels like you’re not tuned into that.

    We men with logical brains can foresee probable outcomes. 

    When your child wants to eat candy for lunch, they may not understand why you won’t let them.

    Explaining, “Just because something tastes good, doesn’t mean it’s good for you”  won’t resolve the child’s FEELINGS for candy.

    Sometimes you’ll foresee that your wife’s train (opinions) will wreck further down the track. 

    But her perspectives are based on feelings, not foresight.

    If you try to use logic to help her see this, her feelings will feel neglected.

    Keep logic to yourself, and simply offer her your curiosity and empathy. 

    Being A Man On A Feminine Planet

    Nature is feminine… Weather is feminine… Seasons are feminine… there’s no escaping it!

    At every turn, you will be challenged by the changes feminine brings.

    If you are confident in your sexuality, you won’t feel insulted when your wife or girlfriend complains about it.

    But do you feel insulted?

    If so, you might have a split within yourself…a part of you still looking for outside validation.

    Every man fears being seen as a sexual predator.

    To not feel like a predator, he looks for his partner’s approval to express his sexuality.

    That’s not what I’m talking about.

    This is something deeper.

    A part of you that feels like your sexuality is to much, to dirty, or not good enough for women to love it.

    That can be healed in my masculine confidence framework.

    Sexual shame leaks out by needing validation that your sexuality is ok.

    Women are a hurricane of emotions, ideas, creativity, and life. 

    Her feminine chaos of feelings needs your strong emotional framework. 

    That framework feels weak if her complaints bring out your defensiveness.

    Online influencer Teal Swan wrote a great article on masculine containment if you want more information on what it means to have a masculine frame.

    Being a woman’s husband isn’t too far off from being her father. 

    Some women reject this masculine frame and become her own man. 

    These masculine ladies won’t feel sexual polarity with men who are strong, secure, clear-thinking, driven, or unapologetic.

    The reason is simple: she doesn’t need a man. 

    Sadly, a woman stuck in her masculine will be riddled with tension, exhaustion, frustration, loneliness, and burnout.

    Women tend to be softer and feminine when YOU stay in your masculine energy.

    Being the man you need to be is the only thing you can control.

    How To Be A Secure Man When She Says, “Is Sex All You Think About?”

    You can transform from being a guy who rattles off an 18-point logic list when your partner rolls her eyes to becoming a man of inner confidence and charisma, who wears a slight smirk even on rainy days.  

    To be a woman’s frame, you first need to have your OWN frame. 

    That’s what I’m teaching men how to do.

    Q: If my wife loves me, shouldn’t she want sex with me?

    A: The warmth and affection a man feels for a woman he loves largely revolves around his sexual attraction for her.

    Women are the opposite.

    Her sexual desire orbits around how safe she feels, how relaxed she is, and her overall mood at the moment.

    There are 3 types of sexual desire for women.


    1. Primal instinct to make a baby

    2. Primal desire to release pent-up energy

    3. A progression into sex because of a strong sense of safety, trust, and emotional connection.

    In a long-term relationship, #3 is the one you want to learn to build with your wife.

    Q: Why does my wife never initiate sex?

    A: Your wife probably initiated sex when you were dating.

    She probably did through the honeymoon phase, too.

    Once you understand the 5 stages of love every relationship goes through, it makes sense why she no longer initiates sex.

    At your wife’s core, she is feminine.

    It goes against her nature to go first, lead, or take initiative.

    She can do that for a time, but she burns out.

    Feminine is a receiver, a benefactor, the one who desires to be taken somewhere in life.

    She wants you to TAKE HER in love-making.

    The secret is to be tuned into your wife enough to know when to go for it.

    Feminine will drop subtle clues when she wants to have sex.

    You might be totally missing those cues.

    Q: My wife always rejects me when I try to initiate sex.

    A: Imagine your wife has 3 lights on her forehead (red, yellow, green).

    If you get rejected every time you initiate sex, it means you are initiating when her light is red.

    If she’s down to cuddle but rejects you if you try to touch her anywhere else, it’s because her light is yellow.

    I haven’t been rejected for sex in many years because I only initiate sex when her light is green.

    Learn to read her body.

    If you don’t feel her receptivity, STOP.

    Trying to turn her on will fail until you build a stronger emotional connection.

    Q: I’m afraid that if I stop initiating sex, our marriage will go sexless.

    A: Some men believe sex is like pizza.

    The saying goes, “bad pizza is better than no pizza”.

    But I’m here to tell you that you will NEVER have good pizza unless you stop eating bad pizza.

    Show yourself respect for what you deserve and stop settling for less than that.

    If your marriage goes sexless because you won’t settle for anything less than passionate, loving, intimate sex, that gives you clarity about whether your wife is the kind of woman who deserves your awesome sexuality.

    Don’t assume it’s all your wife’s fault.

    If you are not being the masculine energy to your wife’s emotions, she won’t feel attraction that opens her body.

  • Does Your Wife Make You Feel Unloved?

    Does Your Wife Make You Feel Unloved?

    When you feel unloved, it’s tempting to pout, get angry, or blame feminism. It’s hard when your love tank is running on fumes. If that’s you, let’s take a hard look at your options. There are some mistakes men tend to make when they feel unloved that only push love further away.

    YouTube player
    Rekindling Affection: 2 Mistakes Men Make When Feeling Unloved

    Take The Focus Off Her If You Feel Unloved

    Taking the focus off your wife might sound illogical.

    If your wife makes you feel unloved, shouldn’t she step up and be more loving?

    You miss her flirty looks and admiration.

    Her touch makes you feel special.

    But complaining or demanding love doesn’t create love.

    You can’t control your wife to make her sweeter and more loving.  

    Exerting stress, anxiety, complaints, and despair towards things outside your control is a lose-lose. 

    I get it. 

    Love & affection feel amazing!

    But when the morning cuddles stop, and you feel unloved, you’re suddenly reliant on your own love.

    You’re stepping out of your manly power when you lose sleep, agonize, and bang your head on the wall over stuff you have no control over! 

    This concept isn’t new.

    The stoics of old like Marcus Aurelius warned that things outside your control are things you shouldn’t worry about.

    How your wife feels is 100% outside your control. 

    I know what your man brain is thinking…“If we fix our issues, she’ll desire me again!”

    No brother, “fixing issues” has never saved a marriage… but “fixing” your own insecurities can!  

    YOU are always 100% in YOUR control.

    Spending large amounts of mental, emotional, and physical energy over your wife’s lack of desire will do nothing for improvement. 

    In fact, the guy who is most attractive to your wife is the guy who isn’t attached to specific outcomes. 

    A man who complains about his job, wife, government, lack of sex, or anything outside his control is a powerless man.

    Her attraction is awakened by a man who maintains his power by not playing the victim.  

    If You Feel Unloved, Focus On What’s In Your Control

    Anna Katharina Schaffner, Ph.D wrote a great article, “Understanding the Circles of Influence, Concern, and Control” reminding us that the things in our zone of influence are still mostly beyond our control.

    Directing your focus, thoughts, energy, and time towards something only within your zone of influence drains you.

    Your love tank is already low.

    It’s time to fill it.

    Not from her, but by engaging in things that ENERGIZE you.

    Things that put you in a better mood and make you happy.

    No amount of influence will ever control someone else 100%. 

    Humans are not robots. 

    Other people have their own brains and end up doing what they want.

    This one is sticky since sometimes you can influence someone to be different. 

    This is more the exception than the rule, though. 

    If you apply massive amounts of mental, emotional, and physical energy trying to influence others to be what you want, you’re putting yourself at their mercy.

    It’s not pleasant when you feel unloved, but you need to think like a CREATOR (the opposite of a victim).

    There are some rules of attraction you should know about.

    Want love? Be loving.

    Want respect? Then respect.

    Want trust? Then trust.

    Your marriage reaches a stalemate if you wait for her to stop making you feel unloved.  

    How To Get Your Mojo Back

    Did the sun ever complain, chase you down, or demand attention for its sunsets to be attractive?

    Has the sun ever postponed an amazing sunset because nobody gave it appreciation?

    No, the sun is just doing what it does, and at some point, a bystander looks up and says, “Wow, that’s an amazing sunset!”

    This is what you become when you stop attaching to outcomes and only focus on what’s in your zone of control.

    Things like maintaining happiness right to the end, money, and living an unchained life appear when you pour as much energy as possible into things 100% inside your control.

    This kind of man steps into his full power by no longer keeping others accountable for his happiness or the shine he puts off.

    And that’s dam attractive – the opposite of chasing love!

    95% of men choose not to focus on what’s directly inside their control because doing so requires a hard look at their “ya buts”.

    • Ya but, if I ask for sex, she’ll reject me
    • Ya but, if I change jobs, I’ll lose my retirement
    • Ya but, I can’t open my marriage and have sex with other women, my wife will hate me
    • Ya but, I can’t move, my kids have friends here

    Those “Ya buts” are what confident men choose to face when life isn’t providing what they want. 

    Everything you have in life you’ve chosen. 

    You chose your wife…You chose your home…You chose your car. 

    When those things are frustrating, you’re living with what YOU chose. 

    You can always choose a NEW response, attitude, mindset, or tone.

    You can make NEW choices when you face your “Ya buts.

    A man who remains unrattled by focusing on what’s in his control is no wimp and is very attractive to women!

    The saying is true, “You have to let her go to get her back.”

    REALLY let her go, I might add.

    This sounds so paradoxical when you feel unloved.

    Everything in you wants to tell her to get her shit together.

    But that’s not love, it’s desperation.  

    If you’re struggling to be the kind of man who operates in his zone of control or has been limiting his life with“ya buts,” then reach out. 

    My coaching is exactly what you need to rewire your brain so you can attract what you want.
