Strong Men Strong Marriages
Helping high achieving Christian men have more intimate marriages. Start with episodes 1-4 for an introduction. Traditional marriage counseling, couples therapy, couples counseling and even Christian marriage counseling will tell you that a good marriage is based on compromise. Validating feelings. Sacrifice. I tried that for years. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. That’s why most couples who go through marriage counseling are the same or worse off after. BUT, in my studies in neuroscience at BYU, MD training at UCLA, psychiatry residency, marriage coach training, and most importantly in my own marriage, I finally found what DOES work. Building strength. Spiritual, mental, emotional and sexual strength, while anchored in following Christian marriage principles. Strength is attractive. And, it feels great. It builds trust. Add to this the skills of communication and intimacy, and you get a marriage full of phenomenal mental, emotional and physical intimacy. And, you set the example for generations to follow. I applied this to my own marriage, I felt better than ever and had more connection and passion than I thought possible. I started teaching this to other men and couples and they were able to create mental, emotional and sexual intimacy faster than they thought possible. This even works for affair recovery and emotional affairs. Now it’s your turn. Become a strong, attractive man. Create a strong, passionate marriage.

How Your Past Affects Your Present - Inner Child Journey Part 3
I used to think that the way to heal was three simple steps.
Step 1 –Identify your old, negative, unattractive patterns.
Step 2 – Create new positive attractive patterns.
Step 3 - Practice the new patterns until you can’t get them wrong
And, that sequence does work.
However, it misses some important things.
Mainly, it misses acknowledging why the old patterns were there in the first place.
It doesn’t give compassion to the younger you’s and the current you that are acting the way you are because you’re scared or sad.
And, because of that, you don’t really heal and keep acting out the same old patterns.
Learn what to do instead in today’s episode.
