5 Key Takeaways
============
Daily embodiment practice is non-negotiable—ground your nervous system with a physical meditation or breathwork to show up calm and centered at home, not just at work.

Stop the blame game. When conflict erupts, lead with awareness and interrupt defensive spirals—pause, breathe, and choose to respond rather than react.

Leadership begins at home. Take charge of emotional, logistical, and sexual dynamics—don’t just provide, actively shape the relationship’s direction.

Make safety your superpower. Create emotional safety for your partner by truly listening, owning your part, and validating her feelings—even if they come with intensity.

Don’t wait for her to change—be the solution. Commit to embodying grounded masculinity for six months; watch trust, intimacy, and connection return.

Memorable Quotes
============
"It sucks walking around not feeling powerful. Walking around having your wife be chronically upset with you—you can fix these things and live a very different life. Life is short. Don't sit around and just think about reading another book."

"You may or may not be the problem, but you are the solution. That's the mindset I want guys to get in. There's too much time spent on whose fault it is. Forget about that. Stop trying to get out of trouble. You're not a little boy anymore. You're an adult man. You don't get into trouble unless you allow yourself."

"When you're more relational from a grounded place, she will become softer, less critical, more interested in sexuality with you—barring other factors—without you demanding she change, hoping she changes, or sitting around complaining until she does. She will change when you do."
