What is your main goal as a husband?

What is your main goal as a father?

Not what are your many goals, but what is your MAIN goal?

If you haven’t really defined this, you’re probably optimizing for something unconscious.

And, that’s probably based on your own upbringing.

So, if you’re not quite getting the results you want as a husband and father…

It’s time to be more conscious of what you are optimizing for…

Defining it…

And working daily towards it.

Learn how in today’s episode.

I had a tougher day today.

Wishing that my wife would give me more attention, appreciation, affection and sex.

Feeling like I couldn’t be happy until she did.

Then, God reminded me: Who is in charge of your happiness?

If I can only be happy if the people around me are acting certain ways…

I’m giving my power over to them.

Does that mean I just wait patiently forever and not get anything I want?

No. 

It means I ask for what I want, work with my wife and others to find win-wins, and set boundaries of what I will and will not do if my requests are not met.

That’s where wisdom, prayer, and coaching come in.

To help you learn to do that.

When it comes to asking for what you want in marriage, men make some common mistakes:

-Not asking at all

-Asking in a passive aggressive way

-Pouting

-Asking in a demanding way

All of these are unattractive and unlikely to get what you want.

There is, however, a “goldilocks zone” that will give you the BEST chance of getting what you want in marriage.

Whether it’s attention, appreciation, affection, food, or sex…

There’s a formula that can help you get it.

We all have rules for life.

The things that tell us how we’re supposed to act… and how other people are supposed to act.

Are you supposed to be in shape? What kind of shape?

Are you supposed to make money? How much money?

Are your kids supposed to listen to you? What if they don’t?

How is your wife supposed to treat you? What are her jobs?

We all have answers to these, but often we’re not totally aware of them.

But, aware of them or not, they run how we treat ourselves and others…

And they may not be taking us where we want to go.

Learn how to figure out and evaluate your rules for life…

So that you end up with the success you actually want…

In today’s episode.

I’m not sure what the next step is for you.

What needs to change to take you to new levels of joy and intimacy in your marriage.

But, God does.

So, instead of worrying about things never getting better…

Or setting a plan on your own…

Take some time alone and open yourself to receive the ideas, perspective changes or encouragement that God has for you.

I had a very meaningful shift this week that I share in today’s episode.

We all have needs in relationships.

The trick in a marriage is figuring out…

Which needs are coming from a CHILDISH place…

And which needs are coming from an ADULT place.

If it’s coming from a CHILDISH place, it’s up to YOU to take care of that need.

If it’s coming from an ADULT place, it’s time to have a conversation with your wife and ask clearly for what you need.

But often to get to that adult place, you need to take care of younger you FIRST.

And adult you as well.

Learn my top 3 ways to take care of yourself…

So you can feel better and appropriately ask for what you want from your wife…

Do you want your marriage to change RIGHT NOW?

Do you want your kids to act better RIGHT NOW?

Most of us do.

But, when we try to force people to be something they’re not…

It usually backfires.

Like trying to force open a flower.

You end up just destroying the flower.

Or cutting open the goose to get more golden eggs.

You just end up with a dead goose.

Learn how to develop the patience to let people develop (including yourself)…

While also encouraging that development in yourself and others…

Do you feel like your wife doesn’t appreciate you?

That she cares about the kids more than you?

That she can be nice to everyone except you, but is still willing to use the money you bring in?

I’ve certainly felt this way.

And this energy is not the powerful masculine energy that feels good and attracts your wife to you.

It’s a young, immature energy that needs to be tended… by you.

Learn how to take care of the younger you…

So you can access the powerful, God-given masculine energy available to you…
