6 May 2025 · 15 min · Episode 27

Most marriages fall apart slowly... through silence, isolation, and the belief that you have to figure it out alone.

But what if that didn’t have to be your story?

In this episode of Better Husband, we’re talking about the quiet struggle most men face: going it alone.

We’ll explore why so many men feel like they have to carry the weight of the relationship themselves and what finally becomes possible when you stop doing marriage solo.

You’ll also hear a personal story from my own life, what it was like working in a culture that mocked marriage, and what changed everything when I finally found a group of men who believed in something better.
