Talking to our wives about our deepest struggles and insecurities can be one of the most difficult things for a man to do. The fear of appearing weak or being rejected often holds us back from the very vulnerability that can strengthen our marriages.
In this episode of the Real Men Connect podcast, Kevin Bullard shares powerful insights on how men can overcome this challenge and build greater emotional intimacy with their wives. Drawing from his own journey and the work he does through his ministry Marriage Works, Kevin provides a blueprint for men to courageously open up and experience the freedom and growth that comes from transparent, God-honoring communication in marriage.

Sharing Your Struggles with Your Wife (EP:939)
Three Key Highlights:
The importance of men being vulnerable and sharing their struggles with their wives, even difficult topics like attraction to other women. This can help build emotional intimacy and trust in the marriage.
The value of seeking counsel from spiritually mature men before sharing sensitive issues with one's wife. This provides wisdom and accountability.
The need for men to understand the difference between being the spiritual leader of the home and being the most spiritually mature person. Even if the wife is more mature, the husband is still called to initiate spiritual leadership.
Kevin Bullard, along with his wife Cetelia, are the founders of Marriage Works!, an organization based out of McKinney Texas, where Kevin serves as the President.
Marriage Works was created to help good couples make better decisions when it comes to their relationships.
Kevin has served as a pastor for 5 years and as an associate pastor for 10 years. He and Cetelia have been married for 16 years, and they have three children – Max, Caitlin, and Kuria Joy.
