But nothing I tried worked. In fact, the harder I tried, the worse it got...
Until I finally realized: I wasn't the problem, but my approach was.
That’s when everything changed...
I stopped blaming and trying to fix her… and started taking full responsibility for creating a new outcome...
And what happened next was something I didn’t think was possible…
My marriage, 8 years ago:
I loved my wife, but I secretly resented her. I felt unappreciated, unwanted, and like nothing I did was enough...
She felt overwhelmed, disappointed, and unseen - like I didn’t care how she felt....
We fought. A lot. There was tension, disconnection, and an invisible wall between us. We were coexisting… not connecting.
In a nutshell, we both felt hurt, frustrated, disconnected, and angry with each other...

She believes in me. I feel appreciated and respected. She feels heard, emotionally safe, and free to be herself. We’re deeply connected, wildly attracted to each other, and more in love than ever - even with four young kids...
Our arguments are rare and resolved quickly. Our sex life is better than it was when we were newly married. And our home is filled with peace instead of pressure...
This isn’t because we got lucky. It’s because I finally discovered the right approach, that worked even though she wasn't on board at first...
