Let’s be real—being a man in a relationship today isn’t easy. You’re expected to lead, provide, protect, stay calm, be emotionally available, keep the peace, fix problems, and still somehow not screw it all up. The truth that most men never hear: You can’t fix your relationship until you fix how you show up in it. That’s where His Time comes in.

ABOUT HIS TIME
His Time is an in-person men’s coaching group designed to help you grow as a man, partner, and leader. It’s not therapy—it’s real talk, real growth, and real brotherhood. Led by award-winning marriage counselor and coach Chris A. Matthews, this group is built for men who are serious about leveling up emotionally and relationally.

It's essential to be open and honest with your partner.

You should not only talk about your feelings, desires, and concerns with each other but also listen closely to what the other person has to say. You should also be willing to compromise in order to work through any disagreements you might have.

Did you know that the world's shortest marriage lasted only 55 hours? Britney Spears and Jason Alexander got married in Las Vegas in 2004 but had their marriage annulled just a few days later.

The couple decided to get hitched after meeting at a party, and then quickly regretted it. The pair didn't even have time for an official honeymoon before deciding to call it quits.

Have you ever heard the saying "put yourself in your partner's shoes"? It's a great way to empathize with each other and build a stronger connection.

When you try to understand where your partner is coming from, both emotionally and intellectually, it helps create a bond that goes beyond just talking about your relationship problems. It means you're listening to each other and building trust—and that's what makes relationships last!

You're a team. You and your partner are in this parenting thing together, and while that's not always easy, it's also pretty awesome.

Couples counseling can help you and your partner when it comes to handling parenting issues. If you feel like you're not communicating well with each other, or if one of you is feeling more frustrated than the other, counseling can help you figure out what's going on by teaching you how to use communication tools that work for both of you.

A great relationship doesn't happen because of the love you had in the beginning, but how well you continue building love until the end.

Love is like a bank account: when you put in more than you take out, you start to grow.

Did you know that divorce rates tend to be higher for subsequent marriages?

Statistics show that the divorce rate for second marriages is higher than for first marriages, and the rate is even higher for third marriages.

If you're considering a second marriage, it's important to understand this statistic. While it's tempting to think that your relationship will be better than those who have gone before you, the research shows otherwise. You could save yourself a lot of heartache if you realize that you're more likely to get divorced if you're in a second marriage.

Express gratitude and affection regularly. Small gestures, compliments, and acts of kindness go a long way in making your partner feel loved and valued.

When you show appreciation for your partner's efforts and contributions to the relationship, you are showing that they are important to you and the relationship—and that their happiness matters to you.

A simple ""thank you"" or ""I appreciate what you did"" can go a long way toward helping your partner feel more secure in the relationship. And small gestures like giving compliments, making small gifts, or writing love notes can also make a big impact on how much someone loves being with you!
