Most men want to be the steady, reliable presence their partner can lean on — but they often hit an invisible wall when emotions run high. In this episode, we explore what it really means to “raise your emotional ceiling” — the capacity to stay present, grounded, and safe for your partner even in the face of intense feelings. We’ll unpack how your nervous system affects your ability to respond rather than react, how unresolved emotional patterns limit your connection, and why becoming her safe space starts with becoming your own.br br This is the final episode in our Inner Work of Marriage & Masculinity series — and it's the one that ties it all together.br br If this series has spoken to you, we want to hear from you. We’re collecting stories, insights, and questions from men like you for the book Men, Masculinity & Marriage. Want to share your journey or become a first reader? Reach out at RichInRelationship.
