WHERE DO I START? - EPISODE EIGHT — PRESSURE IS A PRIVILEGE

Welcome back to another episode of Man vs Marriage.

In Episode 8 of the Where Do I Start? series, we tackle a mindset most people try to escape:

Pressure.


Pressure isn’t punishment.


Pressure isn’t failure.


Pressure is proof you’ve been trusted with something that matters.

In this episode, we break down why pressure shows up in marriage, parenting, leadership, and life—and why avoiding it weakens you instead of protecting you.


If you feel overwhelmed… stretched… tested…


This episode reframes pressure not as a problem—but as a privilege earned by responsibility.


🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Pressure means you’re carrying something valuable


• Avoiding pressure doesn’t bring peace—it brings weakness


• Responsibility creates pressure, but also growth


• Strong marriages are forged under pressure, not comfort


• Leadership isn’t proven in ease—it’s proven in endurance


• You were built to carry more than you think

🎯 WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR

✔️ Couples feeling overwhelmed by responsibility


✔️ Leaders under pressure at home or work


✔️ Parents carrying unseen weight


✔️ Anyone questioning whether they’re strong enough

🛠️ PRACTICAL CHALLENGE

Ask yourself:




  1. What pressure am I trying to escape instead of carry?



  2. What responsibility have I been resenting instead of honoring?



  3. How would my mindset change if I treated pressure as proof of trust?


Then stand up under it.


Pressure doesn’t crush the prepared.


It reveals them.

A Family Man! A Happily married man however that happiness hasn't always come easy. After 10 years of marriage and 8 children with numerous medical emergencies and family tragedy we had become roommates. Fast forward 10 years and we have become closer than either of us had ever known possible. After this amazing transformation thanks to our marriage coach Rita Enos, my wife and I decided to give back to the entire Human Race and give Men the opportunity to decide "How Good do you want your life/Marriage to be"? I am hardwired to inspire because it gives me life! It was only natural that I take this desire to inspire and my incredibly handsome face for radio to make a difference like I have experience in my own life.
