Episode #1052

In this revisit episode, Doug sits down with TPM advisor Christopher Hansen to talk about something every married man needs to understand but few are ever taught. What it really means to lead in your marriage.

They dig into what happens when a man steps back from leadership and how that slowly chips away at trust, safety, and intimacy over time. You'll hear why emotional safety matters more than you think, why your wife might be spending more as a signal and not the problem, and how to stop trying to fix things by doing more of what already isn't working.

Chris also shares what he's learned from thousands of conversations with men who reach out for support. Most guys wait too long, try to figure it out alone, and don't realize their wife has already started checking out.

You'll also hear why "being a nice guy" doesn't always help, and how most men unknowingly give away their power by trying to avoid conflict. If you're tired of walking on eggshells or unsure how to take back control without becoming aggressive or passive, this conversation will give you the clarity and direction you've been missing.

If your marriage feels stuck or strained, this episode will help you see a clear path forward. No pressure, no fluff. Just practical insight and real examples of how small shifts in how you show up can change everything.
