b'This week I welcome back returning guest and friend, Quentin Hafner. You may have first heard Quentin in the episode, Should I Stay or Should I Go, which is my most downloaded episode to date! So, since he is such a likeable guy (and a serious rockstar therapist), I thought it would be great to have him back.I often get emails from men who don\\u2019t know where to turn after being told by their wife that they want a divorce. And, you know what, sometimes I don\\u2019t really know what to tell them. But I do want to help them. So Quentin joins me to talk about some things men can do (or mindsets to adopt) that may help them save their marriage.\\nShow Highlights\\n\\nEvaluating whether or not there is something you can do to keep your marriage together; aka determining if the \\u201cdoor\\u201d truly is closed (8 minutes and 15 seconds)\\n\\nSome reasons a husband may resist fighting for his marriage (10:55)\\n\\nQuentin shares why going through his own divorce was one of the best thing that happened to him (14:12)\\n\\nWe learn incredible life lessons through pain; and sometimes there is no way to get through to a partner other than devastation (14:52)\\n\\nTake the early warning signs, seriously (16:39}\\n\\nWhen your wife asks you to go to therapy with her, go because she may not ask again (18:03)\\n\\nThere is a right way and a wrong way to fight for your marriage (20:20)\\n\\nBe willing to work through issues, to change, and to ask for help (23:07)\\n\\nThere is nothing more lonely than the feeling of loneliness in a marriage (34:13)\\n\\nMost men are conflict avoidant and why knowing that can help women bring their partner closer to them rather than push them away (36:07)\\n\\nWomen need to feel safe and secure before engaging sexually, it is in their DNA (40:42)\\n\\nQuentin shares a little bit about his book, The Black Belt Husband (42:46)\\n\\nLearn More About Quentin:\\nQuentin Hafner is not your ordinary therapist.\\nHe works tirelessly to help husbands and wives in relationships to feel massively more content, greater levels of peace, and overall more satisfied to be together than ever before.\\nQuentin helps those struggling with:\\n\\nA marriage on shaky ground and you can\\u2019t seem to stop fighting.\\n\\nIssues of infidelity or feeling suspicious of trusting your partner.\\n\\nFeeling stagnant or that your marriage is stuck in a rut.\\n\\nNot sure if you should stay together, or end your relationship.\\n\\nAs a licensed therapist, Quentin combines his experience, education, and proven results with real-world practical guidance, easy-to-implement tools, and measurable solutions to help people reach their goals and dreams.\\nQuentin is currently launching a month-to-month group coaching program for husbands in which he\\u2019ll walk men through the Black Belt Husband system, month by month.
