Helping Him Out Of “Mid-Life Crisis!”

Women want their husbands to change, to work on themselves, and to be a better version of themselves. After all, her ego has sub-consciously convinced her that she won’t truly be happy until this happens. So she utilizes every possible system and method to try and convince her husband to care about his mind-body-spirit and to start making some changes.

However, the truth is that most men won’t begin to care about themselves, until they’ve been miserable for quite sometime. After all, they’ve spent decades caring and providing for others, so to pause and finally valve themselves, seems foreign and even impossible to most men.

We’ve given a name for this time in a man’s life as “Mid Life Crisis!” This season of life, can be the greatest internal battle of a man’s life. Their ego plagues their heart and mind with a tremendous amount of shame, guilt, regret, fear and hopelessness which often morphs into depression, and although they do long to change, they have no idea where to start.

In order for the husband to be able to change, it is the wife’s job to create a “safe space” for her husband. He’s going to need to build the confidence and courage necessary, to unravel and heal the limited mindset that he’s embraced, and instead transform his mind to see the abundance of resources that are available to him. As a result the life he so desperately desires will be created.

Creating a “safe space” for him looks like;

  1. The wife healing her heart and mind towards him.
  2. Forgiving him.
  3. Remembering throughout the day just how much she loves, wants and needs him, so she can begin to once again unconditionally love and respect him.
  4. Remove expectations.
  5. Have a weekly coffee date, where they can be transparent and vulnerable, sharing their thoughts and feelings.
  6. When he starts opening up, the wife must practice listening to understand, rather than to respond. When she does respond, it should be in love not judgement.
  7. Have fun with her man! She needs to do some of the things he enjoys or is interested in.
  8. Help him dream and make a plan, set an intention to make those dreams a reality.
