Episode #1051

We're bringing this one back because it's one of the most important conversations you'll hear if you're a married man wanting deeper connection and real intimacy with your wife.

Doug is joined by his wife Erin, a seasoned coach for women, to talk about something most guys miss. How emotional safety and real presence outside the bedroom shape what happens inside it.

If you've ever felt stuck in the same cycle where sex feels like a reward you have to earn or where connection feels out of reach, this is your episode. Erin breaks down what women really want and why so many men unknowingly kill the spark by skipping past the emotional part.

They also get into what it means to actually lead in a relationship. Not in a controlling way, but by showing up with consistency, presence, and trust. If your wife doesn't fully trust your leadership, chances are she won't fully open up either. This episode walks through what that looks like in day-to-day life and what to shift starting now.

This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about getting back to who you've always been, the grounded, present man your partner deeply wants to trust and be with.
