Good Men Trying

Who Taught You How to Love?

Who taught you how to love?

Most men have never really been asked.

In Episode 4, Brett and Marland trace the surprising teachers of their generation: Boyz II Men, Disney, Titanic, Jerry Maguire, AOL chatrooms, purity rings, and the dial up era’s first contact with porn.

Then they ask a harder question:

Which lessons helped us love better, and which ones quietly broke us? Because your spouse should not be the only person who really knows you. Men need more than a partner. We need brothers, friends, and people who see the couch version of us, not just the work version.

This conversation lands on what it means for men to show up better in the relationships that matter most: communicating without listening to argue, handling rejection without retaliation, repairing what we break, and becoming a place of emotional safety.

Plus J. Cole as scripture, why women gave up on the fairy tale first, the five second pause that can save an argument, and the test every long term partner already knows about: the moment two dresses end up on the bed.

Good men are trying.
