Your ego is about YOU, nobody else. It has NOTHING to do with HER, and EVERYTHING to do with YOU. Ego is about humiliation, not humility. It’s about shame, false hope, lust, and wishful thinking. It isn’t always bad, because it is there to protect you from bad things. But in its dysfunction, it can become bad. When it comes to how you feel about your marriage, you need to ask yourself: is it LOVE or is it your EGO?

The concept of the EGO has been around forever, but modern-day psychology talks about it in a different way. This week, Mark shares what EGO looks like as a man, how it plays a part in all the things you do, and the danger of it. Discover why the job of the ego is to PROTECT you, your values and ideals, and how to equalize it to bring more BALANCE into your life.
