Episode #1061

If your wife feels distant or emotionally checked out, you're not alone and it's not random. In this episode, Doug and Erin talk through why so many women pull back in relationships, especially when men start trying to improve themselves.

You'll learn what's really going on underneath the surface (hint: it's not about her not caring), and how broken trust and lack of emotional safety can make her retreat even when you're trying to do better.

Doug shares a story from a recent men's event where one powerful question helped a husband realize exactly how he'd slipped back into old habits. Erin breaks down the emotional impact this has on women and what makes them feel safe enough to reconnect.

They also cover the simple but powerful shifts men can make—things most guys overlook—that create real change in a relationship. No fluff here. Just honest reflection and practical takeaways you can put into action starting today.
