In this episode, I am joined by Kristal DeSantis, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and we discuss themes from her book 'Strong: A Relationship Field Guide for the Modern Man.' Key topics include evolving paradigms of masculinity, the foundational elements of a STRONG relationship (Safety, Trust, Respect, Openness, Nurturing, Generosity), and practical advice for nurturing emotional connection. We also address a question about maintaining intimacy and growth in marriage.
