I have just discovered over the past couple of months that there's one area that we have not fully covered in our mastermind group - we are about to spend 2 months diving deep into. John Gottman wrote a great book, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship Expert. Our Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind group is going to spend June and July 2019 breaking down that book and understand the principles in it that can make our marriage great.
Guys, I'd like to tell you right now. Where things breaking down often times is at home. I'd like to ask you for a second. Where's your marriage at? Like to encourage you to think about your relationships today.

Affirmation, it does not come naturally with us men. But I'd like you to tell you that it is probably that changed my life as much as anything. I am just going to tell you, guys, we just do not do it enough. It is uncomfortable at first, doing public affirmation. However, the reason it is so valuable, whether we admit it or not, we need affirmation. We are all starving to death for affirmation from those who are close to us. Start now in affirming someone! If you are not sure where or how to start, start it in your family.

Hey, there's a few good men out there. I want to tell you a reason I'm saying that. My family gets onto me a lot of times, they'll say, "Man you hammer these guys you're always saying what they don't do. You need to reach out sometimes and say the good things that they do." And it made me feel about that tall. I said, "Man, you're right you know." I do these guys pretty hot and heavy sometimes but I want to tell you something we've got some of the most outstanding men on the planet in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind Group. Now I got to confess a couple of things to you though in regards to telling you how happy I am and excited about the good job that they do. I planned an event coming up pretty soon and there was a number of guys that I invited to this event and one of the guys that I knew were going to be there. I mean it was no question he needed to be there and I needed him to be there. He turned me down bigger than Dallas! He's like, "I can't make it." And I'm like, "Well what is the deal? Where are you gonna be?" And he said, "Well my 17 year old daughter graduates from high school this year. She's gonna be going off to college and she's got an event at school and parents are asked to be there. And I don't want to miss it." And I'm like, "Are you kidding me? I mean this is a big deal event!" And he's like, "Hey, let me tell you something. This is a big deal. This is my daughter." And then I started thinking about I said. You know, he's doing exactly what I've been teaching all these years. He's excited me after I got mad! It excited me to think that he would stand up and honor his daughter more so than a business transaction!
