These may seem like little things to you that don't matter in the scheme of life, but these pile up over time and end up chipping away at the trust she has with you. And the sad thing is, this one thing has killed a ton of relationships. If this feels familiar to you and you want to prevent this from happening, be the man of your word. Talk to your wife about it.

How Does Your Wife Look At You
Episode #111 Do you feel disconnected from your loved ones? Oftentimes we fail to recognize that we are disconnected from our loved ones and have lost intimacy with our partners until its too late. When we fail to pay attention to the warning signs, we end up getting blindsided when our partners tell us they're unhappy. Something many men don't realize is that most women are looking for a man they can rely on and who gives them comfort. When you become consumed with your business, you sacrifice intimacy and connection within the relationship. You tend to stop being the man your wife married in the first place. To navigate this, start with leadership. Show her how you are leading yourself. Be the man who knows who he is and what he wants. Be a man who is responsible for his own self, needs, and desires so she can trust you and know that she has a man beside her who can stand his ground and she will be able to feel secure.
