In this episode of The Married Game Podcast, we introduce a powerful new segment called “Lying to Yourself.” We break down the most common lies men believe in marriage — the ones that sound reasonable, feel justified, and still destroy desire over time.

We cover:

• Why saying “I’m doing everything I can” is usually a lie

• How avoiding conflict kills attraction faster than fighting

• Why “giving her space” often means abandoning emotional leadership

• The hidden difference between effort and behaviors that create desire

• How choosing comfort over clarity erodes respect and polarity

• What men must own if they want real connection — not compliance

This episode also goes deeper than tactics. We talk about presence, ownership, and what happens when a man stops outsourcing his self-worth — including a powerful reflection on loss, self-acceptance, and unconditional self-leadership.

If you’re a man who wants:

• More desire in your marriage

• Less walking on eggshells

• Clear leadership without manipulation

• Real intimacy instead of negotiated peace

…this episode will hit harder than you expect.

⚠️ Warning: If you’re attached to comfort, validation, or being “right,” this episode will challenge you.
