Your Marriage Isn't Broken, It's Paused feat. Dr Lee Baucom

No man wakes up one morning and decides to stop fancying his wife. It happens by a decision neither of you remember making. See exactly where the connection is leaking. Take your free HVM Score: https://highvaluemanproject.com/score Dr Lee Baucom has spent thirty years working with couples and is the author of Save the Marriage. Jonnie bought that programme during his own divorce, ten years ago, and says it changed how he thinks about relationships to this day. They talk about the relationships that aren't broken, just quiet, and what it takes for one man to bring one back to life without waiting for permission. WHY THIS MATTERS Nobody arrives at the end of a marriage. Everybody drifts there, one benign decision at a time, and most men don't notice until the distance is too wide to talk across. Lee names the exact slope, and what a man can do about it on his own.
