In this brief monologue, Blake R. Templeton warns that neglect in a marriage creates resistance: when a partner must constantly fight for attention, they eventually begin to fight against the relationship itself. He argues that allowing a spouse to compete with distractions such as phone scrolling, work demands, or exhaustion only deepens the problem. Instead, he advises men to take the initiative and create connection proactively, reaching out before their partner even asks for attention, thereby preventing the cycle of neglect and resistance.
