Most men have a marriage that can only be described as “eh.” So-so. Not boo-yah, not train wreck, just “eh.” Stuck in the mediocre middle.
Or maybe it’s worse. Maybe your wife is checked out. Maybe she’s hinted at divorce. Most likely, you’re making the same mistakes I made, and things are getting worse, not better, as you had hoped. But what if ...
What if this is your line-in-the-sand moment? Your opportunity to grow and evolve and become the hero your family is crossing its fingers for — a bigger, bolder, more present, powerful, loving, kind, tenacious, eye-of-the-tiger YOU.
Welcome to the revolution.

This book is simultaneously genuine and insulting. 3 stars
My soon to be brother in law got me this book as a joke for Christmas. Little did he know I would actually sit down and read it.
Why is this book a joke? Well, the quote on the cover says that Jeff is the “wife whisperer” and the first testimonial on the back starts with “Weak men are everywhere”. So before you even start it, you know what it is.
And it does not disappoint. The book is exactly as condescending and misguidedly misogynistic as you anticipated, sometimes even more so, which made the read quite enjoyable if you knew that going in.
Plot twist, he buries the lead that it’s actually a sermon and he’s a preacher, or at least by the end there are multiple Bible verses and Jesus quotes, and attempts to get you to join his small group, but he tries to hide it by pretending to be cool by saying things he thinks are cool like “jackass” — edgy. You can say you are a youth pastor, it’s okay, brother.
There is a shoutout to xxxchurch which is an organization that helps young men with porn addiction, a sermon I had heard before growing up in Christian school so this is how I know his type so well (Think sperry wearing simpleton who actually is a genuinely nice guy, dammit). I will say that this chapter was very well written. He set up the chapter where porn was a pharmaceutical ad but in the side effects he listed all the side effects and many of them are true and heart breaking. Clearly where the author’s heart is at. So I will give him props for the set up but back to roasting for a sec:
This whole book is a man mansplaining to men about what women really want. Basically imagine a church where the audience is strictly “Dudes”. You are a man so you lift weights and play video games. Duh dude!
The examples of the stories and quotes are hilariously stiff and unrealistic. Not even close to real convos like he pretends to actually have had. His assumptions about women and how their brains work are like every preacher politician out there today determining what to do with women’s healthcare. it is hilarious how patronizing his assumptions are and at times downright insulting. Luckily it is marketed so hard for DUDES that a woman wouldn’t dare pick it up.
All of this to say the author would probably think I’m not being a hero right now, so taking a step back, if you are able to laugh thru the stuff I mentioned above, if you assume the author’s best intentions there are some memorable nuggets of relationship advice in this book. Here are my takeaways:
Go first (do the hard stuff, initiate) It’s never about the thing being said (find the meaning behind the words) Find criticisms as growth opportunities Own it Use your words
every husband or man who is getting married needs this ASAP
I’ve been with my wife 20 years. I’ve been doing a vast majority of what this book talks about completely wrong. Embarrassingly, I had no idea.
And sadly, if she had told me.. in a way that I actually was smart enough to understand… or someone had told me, or someone had given me this book, I would’ve done every single thing I could the right way that I possibly could because I love her and I want her to be happy.
I want to be the man that she deserves, and not the schmuck who has no clue what’s going on, while he shoots himself in the foot.
I couldn't ever figure out why my wife would get so angry with me whenever I would give her the space she would ask me for. It just didn't make sense, and it would infuriate me to no end. This book gave me a lot of insite into what she was really asking of me, without telling me outright. 'It would be so much easier if she would just tell me what she wants.' was my typical marriage mantra. It's hard to wrap my mind around it still, but I have a better understanding now, knowing that she wants an adventurer for a husband instead of a boy who needs his hand held and told what to do.
I like the writing style. As a man reading it was easy to follow along and really understand the information being provided. Definitely recommend this book to a man who is feeling a loss of connection with his spouse.
I have read around 20+ books on relationship, and this one is the best one. I couldn't disagree more with one of the negative review here.
The author is the nicest guy on heart, I contacted him and he wanted to help me so much that he gifted me access to his community.
Men need other men to do the work, and he built a super affordable community for men to do the work and become better men, lead their marriage our of the darkness and live happy fulfilled life.
Not every man who reads the book will be ready to do the work. Not every man wants to stop being the princess and play victim.
If you want to control what you can control (you), and reclaim your life and live it fully, with no regrets...then pick up this book and start implementing the simple and effective principles explained.
This was given to me by my boss the day I told him that my wife was seeking a dissolution. He explained to me that even if we didn't resolve our issues, they would follow me into my future relationships and I really needed to read it. I waited 3 months to read it, after we had already separated, and wish I had picked it up much sooner. Seriously, this book is eye opening. You will find yourself going, "Oh my god. That is me!" throughout the book...and it won't be because you're proud of it. Don't wait until your marriage is in crisis. Fix/improve it before it ever gets that far. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop. I read it cover to cover in an evening. It is that good.
If my husband did what this book says to do we would have a near perfect marriage. We would’ve happy and connected. I could live in my feminine energy where I want to be.
