It's Thursday night at the Olive Garden, a rare moment without the kids.

Just you and your wife.
No yelling kids.
No household chores.
You hope she lets down her guard.
You hope she blooms for you and is vulnerable with you.

  • It's just the two of you, and yet, the conversation with her feels dull and disconnected.
  • Your wife is giving her classic one word answers.
  • You try to get her to share some depth with you, but she repeatedly retreats under her shell.

You are hungry.

Not because your stomach is hollow and growling, but for the hunger in your guts. You are wanting your wife's vulnerability like a ravenous man wants steak. 


And, it's becoming more and more obvious to you that you have ZERO IDEA of what to say to bloom her feminine heart.


The waitress comes to deliver your pasta meals, and as you both begin to eat, your wife says, “You know, they microwave the noodles here.”

 
“Only 5-star Michelin restaurants for us, baby,” you joke.

Your wife laughs.


“When you laugh with me, it makes me feel open and free on the inside.” 

 
Femininity grows through connection and praise, even when it’s under a shell.
 
Watch this video to find out how you can lean into your edge, share yourself from the inside, and open your wife.

  • Bloom her one tiny step at a time
  • Femininity grows through praise, even it it’s under a shell
  • Tell your wife how it made you feel on the inside

Your wife’s smallest expressions of emotion are an indication of an opening. If you don’t let her know that you notice and enjoy them:

  • She can’t connect with you
  • She won’t be vulnerable

If you want to bloom your wife one tiny step at a time, you need to invite her into your own depth and tell her how these kinds of experiences affect you on the inside.
 
This is sharing with her the truth about yourself.
This is the edge.
This is how your wife can feel your praise and open to you.
