Episode #1083
In this episode, Doug sits down with Andrew to unpack one of the biggest challenges men face in long-term relationships: staying consistent not just for a few weeks, but for the long haul.
They get real about why short-term effort isn't enough, why so many guys slip when things start improving, and how old patterns (especially the ones from childhood) keep showing up in marriage. Doug shares a powerful story about a man trying to turn things around after years of being emotionally checked out and why "two and a half weeks of trying" doesn't undo a decade of disconnect.
If you've ever felt frustrated because you're doing the work and not seeing results, this is for you. If you're showing up with expectations and getting burned, this is for you. And if you're ready to shift from surface-level fixes to real identity change this conversation cuts straight to it.
You'll walk away with practical tools and insights to help you stop the pattern, drop the scorekeeping, and show up in a way that actually builds trust not just today, but consistently.
