How to Get Your Wife to Lean Back into the Marriage

Empowered AF 2.0 - Episode 113: "How to Get Your Wife to Lean Back into the Marriage"

In this episode, Mark dives into the challenges men face when their wives suddenly withdraw from the marriage. He offers insights on understanding trauma responses, navigating the push-pull dynamic, and the importance of rebuilding from a place of strength.


Highlights

  1. Wife's Sudden Withdrawal - Mark explores the trauma response triggered by a wife's sudden withdrawal, leading to defensiveness or passivity in men. Recognizing your patterns is crucial for effective navigation.
  2. Push-Pull Dynamic in Marriage - The "push-pull" dynamic is explained, where a husband’s attempts to reconnect may intensify his wife's withdrawal. Mark emphasizes that understanding her need for boundaries is key.
  3. Rebuilding from Strength, Not Weakness - Mark advises against desperate attempts to win back a wife, suggesting instead that men focus on genuine self-improvement from a place of strength and purpose.
  4. TSC Model: Time, Space, Consistency - The TSC model is introduced as a way to rebuild trust. It's not just about giving her space but also about personal growth and consistent change.
