Blake Robert Templeton tells a man his wife isn't pulling away because she stopped loving him. She's pulling away because he's lost his sense of purpose and identity in God. When a man is spiritually unmoored, his wife feels it and looks for solid ground elsewhere.
A guy told me recently, I think I just married the wrong person. Like, we've tried so hard to make it. And he's talking about their connection. The connection didn't vanish. Like, his identity and clarity for purpose in God did. That's what vanished. And when a man doesn't know who he is, his family can feel it. And that's where everything gets out of order. So that disconnection is from disalignment. James 1:6 says, the one who doubts is like a wave in the sea blown and tossed by the wind. When the wife sees that blown and tossed with the wind, she then pulls back because she has to go find an anchor outside of him.
