Most men were weaned from milk but never initiated into manhood. In Part 2, we explore how our obsession with women—and even porn—isn’t about lust, but unprocessed emotional hunger. We dig into why so many men are stuck reaching, how that pressure impacts the women they love, and what it means to finally return to the forest… and remember how to feed ourselves.
You’d think that the smarter, more successful a man is, the clearer he’d be about himself. But in reality, the opposite is often true. High-performing men—guys who can build businesses, solve complex problems, and lead teams—find themselves stuck when it comes to their emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Why? Because they’ve unknowingly fused their identity with their success, their partner’s validation, and external approval. And when those things shake, confusion hits like a freight train. In this article, we explore why this happens, how to break free, and why every new endeavor with me begins with a two-month, 1-on-1 intensive to strip away the confusion and uncover unshakable clarity.

Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game isn’t just a song—it’s a mirror reflecting the deep ache of the wounded masculine heart. The desperate longing. The belief that she is the answer, that she holds the key to salvation. I spent years chasing that illusion, convinced that the right woman could fill the void inside me. But the truth? She was never the source—only a reflection.
This is the journey men must take: out of emotional childhood, through the wilderness of uncertainty, into the solid ground of mature, grounded masculinity. Most men avoid it, choosing instead to repeat the cycle—cling, chase, resent, withdraw. And when she pulls away? He assumes she’s broken, avoidant, or incapable of love. But the real reason she’s distant? She’s exhausted by his need for her to be his emotional home.
If you’re tired of playing the wicked game, this is your call to step into something real.

Some songs don’t just play in the background of our lives—they haunt us. Johnny Cash’s Hurt is one of them. It’s a song of reckoning, regret, and redemption—one that stopped me in my tracks when I first heard it. At the time, I was restless, disconnected, and tempted to run. But what I learned from Cash’s voice and my own journey changed everything. If you’ve ever felt the pull to escape your life, this article is for you.
I don’t have a perfect marriage, nor am I seeking one. I don’t even believe such a thing exists.
What I have—what I’m continually creating—is a resilient marriage. And I’ve done that by becoming a resilient and confident man.
A marriage without disagreements isn’t a strong marriage—it’s often a fragile one, where real conversations aren’t happening, where one or both people are suppressing themselves just to “keep the peace.” That’s not what I want, and it’s not what we have.
Zelda’s otherness—her different perspectives, thoughts, and emotions—isn’t something I try to manage or control. It’s something I deeply value. It makes my life richer, more expansive. Our differences challenge me in ways that make me stronger, and I see that as an asset, not a liability.
So we don’t avoid disagreements. We work through them. And in over six years, we haven’t had a single fight or argument that has broken our connection.
Not because I’ve unlocked some perfect marriage formula. Not because we never hit tense moments. But because I’ve learned how to lead myself well—and when I do that, I create a relationship where challenges don’t turn into distance, where we don’t get stuck in endless cycles of frustration.
That’s what The Resilient Husband is about. Not a quick fix. Not a set of tactics to “manage” your wife. But a way of becoming the man you were meant to be—so you can lead your marriage with real confidence.
