Her first salary was bigger than his after six years of work. Most men would feel threatened. But PG Sebastian made a decision that saved his marriage and built his wealth.
In this raw, deeply personal episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with PG Sebastian, relationship coach, certified family counselor, published author, and corporate professional with over 2,700 clients under his belt, for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about provision, ego, and what it really takes to survive a long distance marriage.
PG opens up about the trade-offs he had to make when his wife earned more than him from day one, the 30 days apart and 12 days together routine that tested their covenant, raising three kids alone while his wife worked miles away, and the one statement his wife made in the kitchen that changed his entire approach to marriage. This isn't theory. This is a counselor who lived what he preaches, and the results speak for themselves: two houses by age 40, a thriving family, and a marriage that gets stronger every year.
If you're in a long distance relationship, struggling with ego, or wondering whether provision is really just the man's job, this conversation will give you a roadmap you won't find anywhere else.
