ANECDOTE

Hunting Success And A Fatherly Moment

Ryan recounts hunting a massive doe and initially fearing a bad shot before finding a clean blood trail.
His son Brecken also achieved his first confirmed bow kill that weekend, a proud father moment.

ADVICE

Stop Being A 'Nice Guy'

If you change your behavior to avoid conflict or gain approval, you're operating as a Nice Guy, not a good husband.
Speak your real opinion respectfully and commit to decisions instead of passively agreeing to avoid discomfort.

INSIGHT

Marriage As A Covenant

Marriage is best viewed as a covenant with commitments that extend beyond a transactional relationship.
Vet partners thoroughly and clarify roles to avoid covert expectations that erode trust.
