Mike Melton tells husbands their wives know when they've checked out emotionally. Paying bills and sharing a bed isn't enough if you've stopped talking, listening, and leading. Put the phone down, look at her, and be the husband you say you are.
Your wife ain't stupid. Your wife knows exactly when you checked out. You might still pay the bills. You might still come home every night. You might still sleep in the same damn bed, and that's rare. A lot of them sleep in separate beds. But once both of you stop talking, stop listening, and you stop leading, and you stop giving her the best of your ass, me and you both know she feels that shit. 'Cause we all know if you got a strong marriage, that son of a bitch don't die all at once. There's something going on. It dies when you start neglecting each other. Now you know a lot of people, you sit there and you go to restaurants, right? What do you see? Everybody on their cell phone. They're not even talking to each other. So tonight, this is what you gonna do. You gonna put your phone down, you gonna look at your wife, and you gonna actually talk to her. And this is what you gonna do. You gonna be the damn husband you keep saying you are.
