Cover of The Good Husband Paradox by Jeff Allen and Cynthia Kruse

You’re trying to save your marriage. But the harder you try, the worse things seem to get.

Your wife is distant. Maybe she says she’s unhappy, wants space, or doesn’t know if she wants to stay married. So you try to fix it. But your confidence is at an all-time low.

  • You listen more.
  • Help more.
  • Apologize.
  • Give her space.
  • Try to say the right thing.

And you pay attention to every little sign that things might finally be getting better. Before long, your entire life starts revolving around how your wife feels about you, and it’s not attractive.

That’s the Good Husband Paradox.

The problem isn’t that you care too much about your marriage. The problem is fear can sabotage you when you’re scared of losing everything.

Seven blindspots
