The Secure Husband

It's OK To Say No


Listen Later

Most good men struggle to say “no” in their marriage. You want to keep the peace. You don’t want to be seen as selfish, cold, or unloving. But every time you say “yes” when your gut is screaming “no,” you abandon yourself—and that kills intimacy.

In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, Bruce Abbott explains why saying “no” is not rejection, but an act of love and self-respect. You’ll learn how to stop over-agreeing, start honoring your truth, and build trust in your marriage through calm, grounded boundaries.

Here’s what you’ll take from this episode:
✔️ Why men are scared to say “no” — and how it starts in childhood
✔️ How constant “yes” responses destroy intimacy and build resentment
✔️ Why your “no” matters as much as your “yes”
✔️ How to meet the younger part of you who equated “no” with danger
✔️ Simple ways to practice calm, secure boundaries without guilt
✔️ Why saying “no” with peace is one of the most loving things you can do

When you stop abandoning yourself for approval, you show up as a secure, grounded man. Your wife doesn’t need a man who says “yes” out of fear—she needs one who speaks truth with calm confidence.
