Topics Covered:
👉 Why 50/50 marriages create resentment for both men and women
👉 The difference between leading your wife vs. leading the marriage
👉 Why most men want to lead but were never taught how in marriage
👉 How responsibility—not feelings—is the foundation of masculine love
👉 The CEO model of marriage and why it outperforms equality-based roles
👉 How lack of leadership drains intimacy, connection, and desire in marriage
👉 Why waiting for your partner to “do their part” weakens a marriage
👉 How safety, trust, and attraction grow when a man takes ownership of the marriage
