Do you ever feel lost when your wife is upset? Do you freeze up, try to fix the problem, or just hope it passes? You're not alone. Many men struggle with emotions—both their own and their wife’s. But here’s the truth: the key to handling your wife’s emotions is first learning to understand your own.

In today’s episode, I break down why emotions feel overwhelming, how we’ve been conditioned to suppress them, and simple steps to build emotional awareness so you can show up for your wife in a way that strengthens your marriage.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why many men struggle with emotions and how it impacts their marriage.
  • The 7 core emotions you need to recognize to better connect with your wife.
  • Why emotional numbing leads to distance in relationships.
  • Simple, actionable steps to get comfortable with emotions without feeling overwhelmed.

Key Takeaways:

  • Avoiding emotions doesn’t make them go away—it creates disconnection.
  • Understanding and naming your emotions helps you handle your wife’s emotions with confidence.
  • Small, intentional steps toward emotional awareness will transform your relationship.

Practical Action Steps:

1️⃣ Recognize the 7 Core Emotions – Anger, joy, pain, fear, guilt, shame, and love. Start identifying what you’re feeling throughout the day.
2️⃣ Daily Emotional Check-Ins – Ask yourself, What am I feeling right now? This builds awareness and emotional strength.
3️⃣ Journaling – Write down your emotions and patterns. This helps you notice what’s really going on beneath the surface.
4️⃣ Seek Support – Join a men’s group, talk to a coach, or work with a therapist to develop emotional intelligence.
5️⃣ Communicate with Your Wife – Let her know this is new for you and that you’re working on being more present for her.

Reflection Questions:

  • How do you typically react when your wife is emotional?

  • How can you start practicing emotional presence in your marriage today?
