You’ve built a career. You’ve provided for your family. You’ve done everything you were taught to do.
But if your wife still feels alone, your marriage still feels distant, and you don’t know why—it’s time for a wake-up call.

In this episode of Better Husband, we’re talking about the high-achieving men who crushed it at work… but lost their marriage in the process. You’ll learn why success in business doesn’t automatically translate to success at home, how the “fairness script” kills intimacy, and what your calendar says about your priorities—whether you like it or not.

You don’t need to be perfect. But you do need to be present.

🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why top performers often fail in marriage—and how to avoid it
✅ The myth of performance-based love and what your wife actually wants
✅ What your schedule reveals about your relational priorities
✅ How modern marriage requires a different kind of leadership
✅ Why keeping score is destroying your connection
✅ The mindset shift that can save your relationship

💡 Key Takeaway:

You can be the GOAT in your field.
You can dominate in business, build wealth, break records.
But if you don’t show up with presence, heart, and honesty at home—none of it will matter.
Your marriage doesn’t need your success. It needs you.

🔨 Action Steps This Week:

1️⃣ Audit your calendar—how much time did you spend being emotionally present with your wife?
2️⃣ Notice where you’re keeping score or holding back because “it’s not fair”
3️⃣ Reflect on what that mindset is costing you
4️⃣ Do one generous act this week—not because she earned it, but because you want to build something better

🧠 Reflection Questions:

❓ What are you chasing that might be costing you your marriage?
❓ What does your calendar say about your true priorities?
❓ Where are you showing up with excellence for the world—but mediocrity at home?
