Hypergamy
Episode #208 Studies to date have shown that women are more likely to ask for divorce than men. Why is that? In this episode, we dive into what "hypergamy" is and how it is playing against you within your relationship without you even knowing. Hypergamy is defined by google as "the action of marrying a spouse of a superior caste or social status than themselves". In our society, women have a natural desire to uplevel to the best man possible. Yet, after marriage, many men let themselves go resulting in the woman no longer seeing their man as higher status. Today we talk more about this issue and how we can avoid or use this hypergamy to our advantage. ————- Hungry for more?

Revisit: How To Navigate Relationship Problems
Episode #206 Something we have learned in working with hundreds of men is that most men don’t know who they are. They are not able to clearly define what a powerful man is for them and how a man should handle arguments in a relationship. A piece of advice we give our men when it comes to their relationships is DO NOT try to win in an argument…instead try to connect, try to make peace, and talk it out. When we turn to honest communication we will result in a loving and peaceful relationship. A few things most men do that we advise to NOT do: DO NOT punish your partner by giving her silent treatment or by giving her distance after an argument. This is an immature way to handle it. DO NOT push her away just because you are hurt. We tend to show cold treatment and distance because we want them to come running for us and to validate our feelings. In return, the distance between you will grow over time and it will eventually make you miles apart emotionally. If the argument is not communicated well, it can become cumulative. The fights will go deeper and you will argue more and more. Due to the resentment that was built up, triggers from the past can come up that have nothing to do with your relationship at all. Relationships are one of the most important areas in our lives. If you have unresolved arguments in your relationship it causes a disadvantage for you. It will affect ALL areas of your life. In this episode, we teach you how to deal with issues in your relationship in an efficient way that is effective and healthy. Clean up your side of the street first. Take a look at yourself and be the perfect version of yourself, the powerful man that your woman chose to marry. By doing this, you are encouraging your partner to do the same. ————- Hungry for more?

Revisit: How to Fix A Fight When You've Gone Too Far
Episode #205 Have you ever been in a heated argument with your partner? In this episode, Doug and Tim discuss what to do after a heated argument with your partner and how to correct it. One important thing to do first is to find out what triggered that situation to happen, or what triggered you to overreact. In order to avoid overreacting, both parties must communicate clearly what they both want without feeling like a victim and without judgment. Communicate out of love and respect because if you let your emotions and ego drive you during that situation, you will just end up hurting each other. Take ownership & apologize for what happened and for overreacting. Tell your partner how you felt and what made you overreact and what you will do to rectify it. ————- Hungry for more?
