Listen Later

Episode #899

Ever feel like you’re walking on eggshells when your wife says she needs space? Should you pull her in closer or let her go? In this episode, Doug and his wife, Erin, dive into what’s really going on when women say they need space and the kind of response that makes a difference. Erin shares her perspective as a coach working with married women and offers insights on what women often actually want in these moments.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why “I need space” can mean different things depending on the situation
  • The balance between respecting her boundaries and showing her she’s loved
  • How to read your wife’s emotional cues (and when to pull her in close)
  • The power of showing up with a calm, grounded presence in difficult moments

Doug and Erin’s conversation is a straightforward guide to navigating those sensitive situations with empathy, humor, and confidence. If you’re ready to better understand your wife and take real action, this episode is for you.
