🎉 Celebrating 50 Episodes of Make More Love — and 3 Game-Changing Questions for High-Performing Men

Fifty episodes.

Fifty deep dives into what it really takes to create a passionate, lasting relationship—especially when you're juggling ambition, identity, and intimacy. As we mark this milestone at Make More Love, we're not just celebrating a number. We're celebrating the courage it takes to have the uncomfortable conversations that help couples grow stronger.

In this special 50th episode, we’re honoring the journey by doing what we do best: answering real questions from high-performing men trying to show up better in their relationships. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance your drive for success with a desire for deeper love, this episode is for you.


The Business-Relationship Balancing Act

TJ, a contractor and entrepreneur, asks:

“My wife supported me 100% when I started my company. Now, six years later, she seems angry about how much I’m still working. Why?”

It’s the shift so many couples don’t see coming: the transition from “dreaming together” to “managing separately.” While you’re buried in the business grind, she may feel left behind—running the household, parenting solo, or simply missing the man she used to connect with more often.

Here’s the truth: You wouldn’t let communication slip like this in your business. So why accept it at home?

Try this:
Initiate a check-in. Not a fight, not a fix. Just a simple opener:

“I don’t like where we’re at right now—and I don’t want to stay here. What about you?”

Rebuilding connection starts with shared awareness. And that one line can open the door.


When the “Good Life” Leaves Her Behind

BZ, a startup CEO, shared this gut-punch of a moment:

“I was all in on building our future. Then, out of nowhere, she said she wasn’t happy—and left.”

This story isn’t rare. So many women silently suffer until the pain is too heavy to hold. They’re conditioned not to complain, to "be supportive." Meanwhile, many men stay focused on being good providers, believing that’s enough.

To avoid a blindsided breakup, create a system for connection—just like you would in your business.

Use the 1-10-2 Framework:

  1. 1 Weekly Planning Hour – Sync calendars, divide tasks, support each other.

  2. 10 Daily Minutes – Distraction-free emotional connection. No logistics.

  3. 2 Dates a Month – Intentional fun. No phones. No spreadsheets.

It’s simple. It’s effective. And it works.


Reigniting Desire in Long-Term Love

JQ, a successful financial planner, asked:

“We used to have a great sex life. Now it feels like a memory. I still want her—but she doesn’t seem interested. Is this just how it goes?”

Not at all. But it is how it often goes when relationships get buried under routines, kids, and careers. Passion doesn’t die—it gets covered up.

Here’s how to start uncovering it:

  • Drop the spontaneity myth: Desire thrives on intention, not impulse.

  • Address the “Four Thieves” of desire:

    • Neediness

    • Childishness

    • Apathy

    • Transactional behavior

  • Care for your vitality: Sleep, health, hormones—they matter more than you think.

  • Invest in outside help: From nannies to coaches to house cleaners—offload what drains your connection.


What 50 Episodes Have Taught Us About Love That Lasts

Over the course of 50 episodes, one truth has become crystal clear: the most successful relationships aren’t built on romance—they’re built on intention.

So whether you're newly married, deep into parenting, or rebuilding after a rupture, this show has always been—and will always be—about showing up with more love, more honesty, and more strategy.

From Episode 1 to 50, here’s what we know works:

  • Schedule the talks, don’t wait for the fights

  • Show up emotionally, not just financially

  • Build desire on safety, not just chemistry

  • Let your relationship evolve alongside your success

And above all—keep choosing each other, again and again.
