The Impossible Life

225. Why She Doesn’t Respect You (And How to Change That)


Listen Later

Let’s be real—if your wife doesn’t respect you, it’s not just frustrating… it’s devastating. But here’s the harder truth: it’s probably your fault.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett pull no punches as they unpack why so many men struggle with respect in their marriage—and what it actually takes to earn it back.

This isn’t about ego or dominance. It’s about becoming a man your wife can trust, honor, and follow. The good news? Respect is rebuildable—but only if you're ready to face the truth.

🔥 In This Episode:
  • The #1 reason women lose respect for their husbands (hint: it’s not lack of income)
  • Why your wife's trust and admiration are tied to your discipline and consistency
  • How men subconsciously train their wives to either trust or dismiss them
  • Why nice guys often finish last in marriage—and what biblical masculinity actually looks like
  • The difference between control and leadership
  • Why integrity > intensity when it comes to earning back respect
💬 Mic-Drop Quotes:

“If you don’t respect yourself, why would she?”
“Your wife is responding to the man you’ve trained her to believe you are.”
“If your yes doesn’t mean yes, your leadership doesn’t mean anything.”
“You don’t need her submission—you need to become worth following.”
