Relationships Made Simple (for Men)

It's normal to feel bored when your partner doesn't share your passions and interests. However, there's much more that's going on. Boredom is a symptom of an inability to focus and express.

There's no way you will ever fully understand your partner. Thinking you do or saying you do is going to backfire because it's a signal that you're done learning. I back this up with some solid brain research. Tune in to learn a new way of confronting this problem. I'm running the Men's Group again this year.

What makes sense to Men? How do we connect things that don't always make sense (feelings) to things that do make sense (facts, reasons, consequences)? Here's a quick episode on how to collect good data and respond.

Every interaction with your partner is an opportunity to feel better or worse about the "deal" you're getting in your relationship. We are always calibrating what feels fair and what does not. In this episode, I bring your attention to the matter of the "emotional load" of the home. What is that? Are you pulling your weight? Is this the "more" that my partner is asking for? Tune in.

Families are the most dysfunctional groups of people on the planet. Change my mind. All the usual norms, agreements, and roles that most organizations use are thrown out the window. There are obvious reasons why, but that doesn't mean that we can't create NEW WAYS of relating to our family. I wanted to do this episode because Christmas is right around the corner, and most of you will be with your families.

Anxiety is a mental processing issue. Our thoughts are distorted, disorganized, and disordered. I share some of my best methods and frameworks to deal with anxiety.

1 in 10 Men have Alcohol Use Disorder. How do you assess your relationship to alcohol? There are a few very simple questions to get started. What do you do if you want to try sobriety? I'll give you an easy framework to follow. What does it look like and what does it take to live a sober life? I got you. I've been doing it for 18 years.

Many Men get stuck because their goal is a better marriage, and they struggle to make it happen. That's a valid goal, but there's an even deeper value that you can anchor to whenever things are tough. It's always possible to achieve, and it works in EVERY situation. In fact, I doubt anyone is going to create a better marriage if this value isn't the top priority.

We all need to be able to stand up for ourselves if we want to feel confident, secure, and connected. This is something that everyone will face in their life. It's worth understanding a simple format so that you can communicate clearly and effectively. Pre-Work - Get clear on your boundary beforehand. "If you do this again, I will ______." Step 1 - Get Vulnerable - Communicate your emotional experience in the moment. "I feel nervous bringing this up, and it feels important to me." Step 2 - Get Permission - "Are you open to hearing me?" Step 3 - Specific Event + Feeling - "When you _______, I felt ______." Let that land for them without rescuing, sugar coating, or over-explaining. This is the best way to stand up for yourself and start a repair. If you want to work with us, you can visit: www.brycebauer.com www.jennymorrow.com
