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.
