How do I become the man she deserves… and the man I want to be.Glen and Yvette dig deep on this one.We talk:Why nobody’s coming to save you—and why that’s actually freeingWhat it means to father yourself firstHow to stop “trying” and start planningBuilding discipline when you’ve never been modeled itAnd why love isn’t a crutch—it’s a call to rise.If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own life—or like you’re falling behind the partner who believes in you—this one’s for you.Episode 250 is live.

This week, we’re responding to two emails—both full of tension, questions, and heart.First up:A man writes in, self-conscious about being seen as a “toxic male.” 😓He wants to correct things in his relationship—like how the house is cleaned—but he’s struggling with how to say it and whether he even should.He’s worried about being part of the problem…But is he overthinking society’s expectations and missing what’s actually going on in his own relationship?Then we hear from a woman with a difficult dilemma:She overheard something serious about her friend’s marriage—infidelity. 💔The friend knows what’s happening in her marriage, but she hasn’t shared it directly.So now, the question is:Do you bring it up? Or do you stay quiet and show support another way?Glen and Yvette weigh in on why some people stay silent about their pain, and how to be a safe, steady friend—even when you know something you weren’t meant to hear. 🧏🏾‍♀️Episode 246 is now live—watch and join us in the comments:What would you do if you knew something about your friend’s marriage…but they didn’t tell you themselves? 👇🏾50% OFF of our E-Course, ⁠⁠⁠The Premarital Advantage⁠⁠⁠!! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Email list⁠⁠⁠Contact Us: [email protected] Us a Voicemail: +1 727-619-4629⁠⁠⁠Leave a Review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Every week we share with you all exactly how married we are.
