Ever wonder why women refer to their men as "idiots"? It's not about intelligence—it's about understanding. I'm diving deep into the real reason relationships fracture and why most men default to the most damaging response possible during conflict.

When she's upset and you withdraw or label her "crazy," you're making a critical mistake that erodes intimacy over time. The biblical mandate is clear, but rarely followed: live with your wife in an understanding way.

I challenge you to embrace a radically different mindset—assume you're an idiot and purposefully overcompensate. This isn't about self-deprecation; it's about unlocking a level of connection most men never experience.

The power dynamic in relationships creates unique responsibilities. As the physically stronger vessel, your role isn't to demand understanding but to pursue it. This one shift transforms everything.

Ready to stop withdrawing when things get tough and instead lean in where others check out? This episode reveals how security in your identity enables the pursuit that every relationship needs.
