Revisit: Be Playfully Mean
Episode #626 How do you keep the sexual chemistry and the spark alive in your relationship through the years? One of the things women are fond of us men for is our sense of humor. But over time, when we receive rejections from our wives after teasing them, there will come to a point when we deactivate our sense of humor. We stop teasing and making jokes. We become afraid of rejection and become timid. We become attached to the negative outcome, thus lowering our confidence when dealing with our wives. One way to overcome it is to be playfully mean. Start joking with your wife and laugh at it even if your wife won't give the reaction you're expecting. Be confident with your approach. Be the Alpha once again. In this episode, learn how you can bring back the excitement in your marriage, reactivate your sense of humor, and win your wife back. __________ Hungry for more?
