And that's what I'm saying, like, she doesn't need perfection. Your girl wants presence. Connection beats performance every time. But like, the enemy's telling the guy, like, man, you gotta perform. You gotta go make more money. You gotta go do this because somehow that's gonna save the marriage. My wife told me one time, I would rather live in a cardboard box and have you with me than have the big house and not have you at all. A guy needs to understand, instead of trying to get it right, instead of like trying to go build the thing and perform and go make more money, your girl wants your presence. To show up fully with eye contact. And for a guy, that's something we have to actually practice. We've gotta like open ourself up and like be vulnerable. We've gotta actually give intentionality. We've gotta like stretch our patience. We've gotta actually be more desirable to her by showing her our love more. We've gotta actually give her more attention. We've gotta actually like stretch our capacity for actually being an intentional man. An intentional man gets presence. Cuz your girl doesn't need perfection.
