There Are No Shortcuts In Life

Let’s be honest, we’re all looking for shortcuts in life…  From diet pills, testosterone boosters, the lottery, get-rich-quick schemes, and other gimmicks … we all want the “magic pill.” But here’s the deal… there are no magic pills when it comes to changing your life. Sure, if you’re looking for a bandaid for your situation, […]

WAKE UP!

Take Control of Your Life. I’m going to give you a glimpse of how I used to live my life…It’s not good.   The truth is that I used to sleepwalk through life. I meandered through each day, pointing my efforts toward whatever seemed easiest. I operated in default mode and inherited the results of living […]

TENDING TO THE COALS OF YOUR LIFE

Do you feel like you’re constantly firefighting in your life?  Like it is constantly spinning out of control, and you’re not sure what to do next?  I know I did. And I know most of the men that I talk to are doing just that; they’re constantly putting out fires…  Doing everything they can to […]

DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS YEAR

Are you like most men right now, wondering what’s going to be different about this year? Like, how are you going to improve? How are you going to grow? How are you going to find purpose? How are you going to get fit? How are you going to survive another dreadful year of marriage? Or, […]

How to Have Tough Conversations

I can remember, like it was yesterday, not wanting to have a difficult conversation with my wife … Wait. That’s because it was yesterday.  I’m not kidding. Yes, I coach men on how to be in a relationship, how to effectively communicate, and how to have difficult conversations … but that doesn’t make me exempt […]

What The F%$% is Intimacy?!

Have you heard, or said, something along these lines?… “My wife and I haven’t been intimate for a year.”  I hear something along those lines all of the time…  What they’re really tyring to say is “My wife and I haven’t had sex in a year.” And that’s a problem. It’s a problem that they […]

Masculine Leadership

Did you read the post on “What the h=ll does she want from you?”  If not, check it out.  I told you 3 things that women need from you, but I said that was just a start … there’s more.  And this one is crucial.   She NEEDS this from you, whether she even knows it […]

Are You Sick & Tired of the Same Old Sh*t?

Another day, the same thing. Bicker, argue, fight, bicker, argue, fight, repeat. Conflict killed my marriage and to no surprise. As I have alluded to before, conflict is the #1 cause for separation, divorce, and unhappiness in marriage. Does this sound familiar:“You always say that; I never do that.“No, it’s nothing. I’m FINE.”“Why are you […]

Sex, Sex, Sex

Sex … it’s on your mind. You want more of it. You want to be better at it. You fantasize about it (often with other women). And it’s one of the biggest “issues” and controversies in a marriage. And I know … from personal experience! It can be the haunting ghost of your marriage. If […]

I Was Suffocating In My Marriage.

When I was going through my marital struggles, I felt like I was suffocating in my marriage. The constant stress.  The fear.  The arguing.  The feeling of being “less than enough”. Purposeless.  And on and on. I thought that if I could just get through today, tomorrow would be better.  And it never did.  Deep […]
