Every relationship “expert” in the world thinks they have the secret sauce for making a happy, sexual relationship.
I’m no expert, but I think the truth is the “recipe” is pretty complex.
It’s full of ingredients that need to be measured and added in the right sequence. And timing is crucial because if you do the right thing at the wrong time everything goes haywire.
Then multiply this complexity by TWO.

Two people. Two sets of childhood baggage and insecurity. Two sets of expectations. Two perspectives on the world, marriage, money, parenting and sex.
Then there are the two unique ways of communicating and expressing fear, sadness, hurt and disappointment.
And then there’s the litany of “fix your marriage” tools you learn in counseling which sound like an endless list of “try this and try that”.
But the tools can’t work if you’re not mentally and emotionally prepared to use them.
It feels like you’re throwing darts just to see what sticks. You never seem to be on the same page.
It’s exhausting and frustrating. Resentment builds by the minute.
The reason we coach only men is because we believe:

There is no such thing as a happy, healthy, secure, stable and sexual relationship without a happy, healthy, stable and secure man at the helm.

I like quotes like this because they challenge our thinking. They remind us that each person has a choice.
They challenge our mindset and our daily intention.
When you’re aware of your thinking and are deliberate with your intention your BEHAVIOR will directly follow in suit.
So…beware of your own habits of thinking and your chosen intentions. They will create patterns of behavior that will either improve your relationship or kill it.
As you know by now I like to SIMPLIFY things to help you make changes quickly and effectively.
The TWO CRUCIAL KEYS I share in this video are the beginning points of a happy, sexual relationship.
These are the most important parts of the recipe.
And they are also the HARDEST parts.
These are like preheating the oven first to the right temperature.
If you don’t get these two keys down pat there are no “tools” and no amount of communication, apology, flowers or make-up sex that will help you.
What Are You Thinking Right NOW?
The two crucial keys are:
1. What you THINK and how you think about it.
2. What you DO and how you do it.
At this very moment, what are your thoughts about yourself and your own sense of peace and personal power?
Do you THINK you’re unhappy? Do you THINK you’re angry? Do you THINK you’re a puppet on a string with no chance of escape?
And what are your thoughts about your lady?
Do you THINK she’s not attracted to you? Do you THINK she’s a mean, cold-hearted bossy pants control freak? Do you THINK she is thinking badly about you right now?
It is these very thoughts that sabotage the possibility of a happy, sexual relationship every hour of every day.
Most men in an unhappy, non-sexual marriage are in the stage of unconscious incompetence when it comes to knowing how to change their thinking.
When we are unable to take command of our THINKING we have zero control over what we are DOING.
And when we have zero control over what we’re DOING…we end up up doing a lot of really stupid shit.
To illustrate, let’s take this quote from a famous smart guy.
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Let’s just THINK for a minute that for the next 14 days you’re going to run a thought experiment.
You’re going to make a conscious DAILY choice to treat your lady as if she is truly your best friend. Not a roommate but a genuine best friend.
You KNOW she really digs you.
You KNOW she has a high regard for you and speaks positively about you behind your back.
You KNOW she really likes to be around you and thinks kindly of you.
Here are some more thoughts you are going to think.
You KNOW you genuinely love and respect her.
You KNOW you hold her in high regard even on her bad days.
You KNOW you can give her the benefit of the doubt because you trust her.
If you could make the choice to think and believe these things for 14 days, how do you think you will BEHAVE?
Best friends treat each other really well.
They think about how the other is feeling. They pay attention when they’re talking. They offer encouragement and support without judgment or trying to fix them.
They respond to them softly…with kind eyes, measured voice and a relaxed posture.
And they don’t take anything personally because they’re best friends. They KNOW they mean well even when they have a bad day.
I can’t count how many men have done this experiment and noticed a major change in less than 48 hours!
One guy recently decided to tell his grumpy wife, I’m sorry you didn’t sleep well. You have your grumpy face on and I really love that about you.
His entire weekend changed. Yeah. Really.
That’s how friends THINK about and treat each other.
What you THINK drives what you SAY and what you DO.
And if you want to create a happy, sexual marriage you MUST preheat the freaking oven first.
And you do that with your THINKING.
There’s a problem with the above challenge, I know.
We often hear men say, I totally get what you’re saying intellectually, but why is it so hard to be consistent? How do I deal with the stomach knots and daily resentment?!
Very good question, isn’t it?
The answer is that you must devote yourself to becoming a massively secure, mature and confident man.
When we say, “focus on working on yourself”, it is THIS we are talking about.
We have an extremely effective and proven process for helping you achieve that “Mountain Lion” level of inner peace, emotional security and spiritual confidence required to start taking command of your thinking.
And when you do this, you realize what you’ve been missing all along has been inside you.
This is how one guy put it.
My wife has seen an immediate change in my attitude and outlook while she has struggled to make progress of her own. She has even made the statement that “I want to be where you are and want to find something that I can connect with and that will make me a better person.” ~ Matt H.
