One common long-term relationship killer is when one partner stops growing.

If you're already focused on or stressed out about work, hearing that you need to grow can feel overwhelming, annoying, and even disrespectful.

But she's probably right.

Typically what this means is there's a craving for more connection and depth.

Imagine going to work for a company and not getting new responsibilities or challenges after years of dedication.

You'd likely start looking for other opportunities to be grow.

On the otherside of her being “crazy” or “hard to handle.”, if you can learn to hold space for her, is a woman who will feel heard. And that's a whole different woman.

I've taught CEO's, business owners, investors, entertainers, and Ivy League MBA's how to have more productive conversations when emotions are running hot. DM me for help or go to my bio.

Pour your wife a glass of wine, sit down, and ask her about her hopes and dreams.

Trust me—yours might just come true later that night. 😉

After accepting his wife’s decision to divorce, one of my clients went from helping her move into a new apartment eight weeks ago to having her come back. Now, they’re powerlifting together on Friday nights.

Here are three fundamental shifts he made:

1. Realizing that responsibility isn’t the same as leadership. Being dependable is good, but true leadership requires vision.

2. Building a plan. Leading with intention means having a direction, not just reacting to life as it happens.

3. Learning to say no. Strong leadership means knowing when to stand firm, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Honored to be a part of this man’s journey toward becoming a stronger leader in his marriage.

A 2019 study by Clue (a menstrual cycle tracking app) found that kindness ranks as the most important trait women look for in a long-term partner, regardless of orientation.

Ok, as men who want to be good partners, we're listening.

But what does real kindness actually look like?

My brain goes to bending over backward, keeping the peace, or being agreeable for the sake of it.

But that's not it. All of that will create bitterness and resentment.

Kindness is deeper, intentional, and impactful. It comes from the heart.

Here are three examples:

No. 1 – Be fully present. Put the phone down, make eye contact, and ask real follow-up questions. Look, I get it—a lot of guys dodge certain conversations out of fear they’ll hear something they don't want to hear - like her feelings. But genuine kindness? It’s listening to the hard stuff too.

No. 2 – Learn to say no with respect. This isn’t about avoiding conflict or keeping things smooth all the time. True kindness means you can stand your ground without going cold or defensive. When you calmly disagree or advocate for yourself with respect, it shows you care enough about the relationship to stay real, even when things get heated.

No. 3 – Go beyond the “big gestures.” Forget waiting for birthdays or holidays to do something nice. Real kindness shows up in the small, everyday things: a note, a simple “just because” gesture, an unexpected compliment—without expecting anything in return.

The bottom line: Kindness is more than just being “nice.” It’s about intention, presence, and showing up in a way that’s calm, real, and steady.

For men, consistent sleep, diet, exercise, and stress management are key to supporting this rhythm and maintaining balanced testosterone levels.

[Bart Morse @bartmorse]

I know 45 year old men on TRT who feel 21 again. This is why you need better sleep...

Men’s hormone cycle operates on a daily rhythm, largely driven by the rise and fall of testosterone over a 24-hour period. Unlike the month-long cycle of hormonal shifts that women experience, men’s hormonal peaks and troughs occur within a single day. Here’s how it works:

[Bart Morse @bartmorse]

NOTE: Most of a man’s testosterone is actually produced during deep, uninterrupted sleep, which is why quality rest is essential for maintaining healthy levels.

This 24-hour cycle is known as a circadian rhythm and directly influences daily energy, mood, and focus.

In 1943, my grandfather, Harry Morse, was shot down over Germany as the captain of a Boeing B-17 Bomber. He was the last to jump out of the plane, landing with a shotgun pointed in his face. He was promptly taken to a POW camp, where he spent the next 18 months.

The key is to attack the problem on multiple fronts with professional help and getting connected to a tribe.

DM me if you’re ready to go to war on this issue.

If you’re a man navigating a separation or divorce or just feel alone, know that you’re going through life’s toughest battle and that countless other men are going through the same thing.
