“Don’t tell me you miss me. Tell me you’re outside with tacos. Action.” (Deanna Cobden)


Hi Reader,

Stay tuned for next week’s longer-form post: “Increase Your S#x Appeal.”

This week — a crazy-busy one for most of us in the States — I bring you this succinct, passivity-shattering reminder:

(Aragorn, The Return of the King) Husband and fellow warrior-king, Keep doing the right thing because it’s the right thing. Keep doing the right thing because that’s the kind of man you are. Put a knife to the throat of neediness. Needing your wife to notice, thank, or praise you for your benevolent deed. Otherwise, your good deed turns rancid...

Hi Reader, Last week, one of the men in my private community (we’ll call him Dan) shared a story that will dramatically improve your marriage. Here’s what happened … Dan is chillin’ with his family when his cell phone rings. It’s their next-door neighbor. During the course of the phone call, Dan is gracious, kind, patient, and attentive.
