Do you feel like you're the only one trying?
Are you always the one who reaches out, starts the hard talks, and keeps the marriage going?
Does it feel like your wife just shuts down, pulls away, or avoids connection?

This is called the pursuer-distancer dynamic, and it’s common in struggling marriages. One person chases. The other runs. And both feel stuck.

✅ How the pursuer-distancer pattern starts and keeps going
✅ Why your wife pulls away when you try harder
✅ How to stop chasing without becoming cold
✅ What it means to lead with calm instead of anxiety
✅ Real steps to build peace, power, and connection

This Is for You If You:
🔹 Always bring things up and get shut down
🔹 Feel like she’s pulling away more each day
🔹 Want closeness but don’t want to feel needy
🔹 Are tired of feeling like the only one trying
🔹 Want to stop reacting and start leading yourself

You Will Walk Away With:
✔️ A clear understanding of the pattern you’re stuck in
✔️ Tools to stop chasing and start grounding

You’ve done the work. You’ve read the books. You’ve stopped reacting. You’ve started healing.
So why does your marriage still feel cold and stuck?

In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, Bruce explains how hidden resistance might be the real reason you feel frustrated — even after making real progress.

What You’ll Learn:
✔️ How to spot resistance hiding as “self-control”
✔️ Why you’re still waiting to be picked — even as an adult
✔️ Why letting go feels scary, but staying stuck hurts more
✔️ How to face fear, grieve loss, and lead yourself through it
