A couple of years ago, when I went searching for specific tips, tools and tricks to help me level up my marriage. I read books, I searched the internet, I watch YouTube...But the information I found was...shall I say...lacking! The information also was not particularly relevant to the unique challenges of today’s modern marriages with both people juggling the pressures of working outside the home, living up to societal pressures of those ”perfect” homes, bodies, and all other kinds of expectations that comes from social media. And speaking of social media, what about all the ”temptations”, instant access and just overall problems that come along with it. What was out there tended to be fluffy statements like ”be more loving” or ”communicate more”, or the God-awful advice of ”Never go to bed angry”-like anybody can solve anything when they are exhausted... No wonder the divorce rate is where it’s at! I’m the kind of person who needs specifics. Tell me exactly what to do! but there was nothing out there, so I created my own tips, tools and tricks. But the question I’m sure you are all wondering is...Did it work? And to that, I would say. YES! Not only did my techniques work... they also worked fast! Now I am taking my journey, those lessons, and am here to help marriages and relationships, not only survive, but to thrive. If you are married, ever wanted to be, or just want the absolutely best relationship possible. This is the podcast for you!

Are you feeling emotionally disconnected from your spouse? In this in-depth video, we explore why emotional connection is the key to a thriving marriage—and why it’s often the missing piece when intimacy fades. Based on real-life insights, I share my own experience of noticing distance from my husband and realizing it stemmed from unspoken issues. We’ll unpack the science of a woman’s responsive nature, why men need to lead with emotional input, and the 7 massive mistakes men unknowingly make that sabotage their wife’s desire for connection and sex. Ready to fix your marriage and reignite the spark? Let’s dive in!
What You’ll Discover:
Why Emotional Connection Matters: Learn why women need to feel heard and seen before they desire intimacy—and how men connect through sex differently.
The Responsive Nature of Women: See how your actions (or lack of them) directly shape her response—like gas in a car, no input means no movement!
7 Mistakes Men Make: From distracted phone scrolling to refusing tough talks, we break down each error with real examples (like my husband’s alien story vs. his “why do you care?” shutdown) and how to fix them.
Practical Solutions: Get actionable tips to talk more effectively, flirt like you’re dating again (Star Trek catchphrases included!), and avoid logistics-only chats that kill the vibe.
Bonus Tools: Check out “3,000 Questions About Me” and AI like Grok to spark fun, flirty conversations with your wife!
Why This Matters:
If she’s pulling away or your sex life’s on life support, it’s not “her problem”—it’s a sign you’re missing her emotional needs. I’ll show you how to stop blaming her “low sex drive” and start leading with connection. Think “we need to talk” is torture? It’s actually your marriage’s lifeline. Watch till the end for a game-changing perspective on emotional safety and how it ties to intimacy.

What Would You Do If Your Husband Tracked Your Sex Life? | Viral Reddit Story Breakdown
Ever heard of the husband who made a spreadsheet of all the times his wife denied him sex? This wild story, originally posted anonymously on Reddit in 2004, went viral again recently—and people have opinions. Over 7 weeks, he logged 27 attempts, with only 3 successes (an 11% success rate). Excuses? “I’m watching Friends reruns,” “I feel gross,” “I’m too drunk.” She got the sarcastic email with the spreadsheet right before a 10-day work trip—and he ghosted her calls. Desperate, she turned to Reddit for advice. Was this a cry for help or petty revenge? I’m diving into the drama, his resentment, her excuses, and what it says about marriage expectations. Could this couple survive? Let’s unpack it!

I attended a marriage conference hosted by a Las Vegas community church last weekend—not to learn, but to research. What are these events teaching about marriage priorities? After two days, I found the same surface-level advice: pray together, communicate better, keep God at the center. Check, check, check. But something critical was missing—sex.
Stats show 25-50% of marriages are sexless (10 times or less per year), yet churches tiptoe around men’s core needs: respect and physical intimacy. Women often sign up for these conferences, hoping to hear how husbands can love them better, while men quietly wait for practical advice on intimacy that never comes. Why? Churches fear alienating women, who drive attendance—and tithes.
The Bible doesn’t shy away from this—1 Corinthians 7:5 warns against withholding sex, yet it’s taboo in sermons. Half the congregation is in dysfunctional marriages, unfulfilled and unheard. Men’s desire isn’t a flaw; it’s God-given. So why aren’t churches addressing it?
In this video, I unpack my experience, the stats, and why Christian churches need to rethink their approach to marriage—starting with teaching women how to love their husbands, not just the other way around.
Key Topics:
Marriage conference insights
Sexless marriages in the church
Men’s needs: respect and sex
Biblical perspective (1 Corinthians 7:5)
Why churches avoid the topic
