Introduction
A relationship exists in many phases, and its not always clear which one were in. After all, its not like we get a badge every time we advance to the next stage like were Boy Scouts.
We start out with the mystery, allure, and chase of a new partner. This is exciting, thrilling, and its the stuff that movies are made about. Palms sweating, butterflies in the stomach yup, thats the good stuff. Every text from them is a moment of triumph, and your mind is a hamster on his wheel every night that you dont see them.
Lets call this the Chase phase.
Next, after you discover that your affections are returned and that theres the potential for something real between you and the other person, you quickly dip into the I cant get enough of you mindset. You fight the urge to spend every waking second together, and start showing up to events and activities together enough so that people always ask where your partner is when youre alone.
Youll go out of your way to pick up that muffin that your partner really loves, and celebrate any milestone possible. Friends, activities, and hobbies fall by the wayside. If youre lucky, this will last a few months.
Lets call this Honeymoon phase.
After the Honeymoon phase comes the Balance phase. This is the phase where you begin to remember what life was like before your partner, and how much you enjoyed your hobbies and activities. A little bit of separation ensues, anxiety sometimes included, and its time that you leave your honeymoon sphere to re-enter the real world and how you can balance your relationship within it.
You juggle your priorities, tinker with your time management, and arrive at the balance of how much time you can devote to each other for the relationship. As you can imagine, a lot of conflicts follow because expectations are either upheld or unmet. This phase can make or break many couples, as its a return from a fantasy world that isnt always representative of reality.
Next, we hit the Comfort phase. Zero effort put forth into cultivating or growing the relationship? Check. A slow de-prioritization of your partner? Check. Growing indifference to your partners needs and desires? Check. Apathy towards what your partner thinks of you? Check.
Weekends where you dont change out of your sweatpants? Check and double check.
The comfort and security that we hold in our relationships causes us to lose the motivation to maintain the person that your partner became attracted to in the first place. Ever hear of relationship weight? Its the same phenomenon. (On the other hand, it speaks to how amazing a motivator being single and not having access to sex is!)
The Comfort phase is where so many relationships tend to languish and die a slow death. And it runs both ways. What happened to the girl you fell in love with? For that matter, what happened to the guy she fell in love with?
(The next phases of course are the Tolerance phase and the Begrudgingly Still Together out of Obligation or Fear of Change phase but this is neither the place nor time to discuss those.)
Did any of those descriptions resonate with you or perhaps make you cringe? Thats what this book is about.
Youll learn how to become the type of man that keeps her woman captivated to recapture those intense feelings of desire and respect she held for you in the Chase, Honeymoon, or even Balance phase. Youll also learn how to build a deeper, stronger, and more fulfilling relationship with your woman in ways you never thought possible. Your relationship deserves those on a daily basis, and you shouldnt settle for anything less.
How can you break out of your slowly fading Comfort phase to ensure that your woman will continue to date and court you like its still the Chase phase, and clamor for you to commit to her?
Its going to be a matter of resetting habits and patterns that may be hard-coded in you and your womans mind, but the payoff will be worth it. You will learn how to inspire and motivate each other to new heights, and stand as two titans instead of one interdependent spire. You will understand how to embrace each others vulnerabilities on a deep level.
And perhaps the ultimate payoff? There are going to be tell-tale signs throughout as to whether shes going to be the one or not, and Ive also developed a series of powerful and revealing questions to evaluate her with.
Heres to building the strongest relationship of your life!
Being assertive isnt being an asshole.
Asshole is a term that most men (and people) want to avoid like the plague.
There are just a host of negative connotations that come with it, and lets face it, they are sometimes true.
But work and relationship contexts aside, the worst part of the term asshole is the way that women use it to describe a man that takes charge and isnt afraid to offend others with his opinions. Its almost as if assertive is interchangeable with asshole at times, and its a shame.
But Im here to tell you that there are zero absolutely differences between being assertive and an asshole, and that you should never be afraid to be assertive and have your opinion heard.
Ive met far too many men that simply dont like confrontation or to rock the boat thats a dangerous slippery slope because it can be so gradual that you eventually find yourself mute in the relationship.
Wait, since when is it being an asshole to just say whats on your mind, or even what your preferences might be?
Assholes prod and provoke to make a point, which are often punctuated by emotional outbursts and accusations. Women have no issues responding to logic, so if you approach them on that level in an assertive manner, you will have their attention, respect, and never be called an asshole.
Assholes also tend to make points that arent related to the actual point, which is mostly a matter of twisting the knife that they can sometimes wield. Not pleasant.
Tell me what you think women like: a passive man who bends to her every whim and is essentially whipped or a strong man that isnt a doormat, who forces them to respect them, can take charge when necessary, and can be equals with them. Hint: its not the first one.
So embrace assertiveness, because it is easy to do so without being a raging asshole.
Tarzan usually leads.
Men instinctually know that women want a man who leads. Its what every movie and Disney prince portrays, and its not a stretch to say that our modern conception of romance and chivalry comes from popular media.
Even the high-powered female CEO wouldnt mind taking a backseat in her relationship at times, if only to give her mind a break from her demanding job. If you have to lead a relationship constantly, its just draining and another source of work not quite what you hope to get out of being with someone.
Gender roles aside, many women also instinctually want a man like this however, they may not allow or give their man an opportunity to actually lead. They will either take the reins themselves, or shoot down the mans relatively subtle attempts to lead in favor of doing things their own way. Its a process that is like the Grand Canyon forming it starts slowly, and you dont even notice that its happening... until surely enough, youve taken the reins over from him and are planning out your weekends unilaterally.
