Mike Frazier, MD
Helping high achieving Christian men have more intimate marriages. Start with episodes 1-4 for an introduction. Traditional marriage counseling, couples therapy, couples counseling and even Christian marriage counseling will tell you that a good marriage is based on compromise. Validating feelings. Sacrifice. I tried that for years. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. That’s why most couples who go through marriage counseling are the same or worse off after. BUT, in my studies in neuroscience at BYU, MD training at UCLA, psychiatry residency, marriage coach training, and most importantly in my own marriage, I finally found what DOES work. Building strength. Spiritual, mental, emotional and sexual strength, while anchored in following Christian marriage principles. Strength is attractive. And, it feels great. It builds trust. Add to this the skills of communication and intimacy, and you get a marriage full of phenomenal mental, emotional and physical intimacy. And, you set the example for generations to follow. I applied this to my own marriage, I felt better than ever and had more connection and passion than I thought possible. I started teaching this to other men and couples and they were able to create mental, emotional and sexual intimacy faster than they thought possible. This even works for affair recovery and emotional affairs. Now it’s your turn. Become a strong, attractive man. Create a strong, passionate marriage.

Strong Men Strong Marriages
06/19/20 • 31 min
A lot of men come to work with me when they are very near divorce.
They may already be separated, their wife may be threatening divorce, or they may be in the divorce process.
The men I work with want their wife back. They have seen the error of their ways.
But, sometimes, despite their best efforts and strength building, their wife chooses to divorce.
This can be extremely difficult. It can feel like all their work was in vain.
BUT, fortunately, divorce is NOT the end.
Life goes on.
And, if you put your effort into building up your strength...
If you have become strong and learned how to be attractive...
You WILL eventually create the marriage of your dreams.
It may just be with someone new.
Jeff shares his journey with us in this interview.
From the hope of reconciliation, to the heartbreak of divorce, to thinking he would never get married again, to having a wife that "he couldn't have dreamed up better."
I greatly appreciate his honesty and openness.
Summary:
-If you put everything you can into building yourself up and saving your marriage, you can look back with your head held high and look your kids in the eye and tell the you did EVERYTHING you could to make the marriage work
-Create fun times AND routines and structure for your children after divorce
-Developing the skill of learning from your mistakes and seeing things from your wife's perspective will serve you well in your continued relationship with your ex-wife and in future relationships
If you are looking at a possible divorce, take the time and make the effort to learn the skills that will help you feel STRONG and CONFIDENT, no matter what your wife chooses.
And, the skills that will help you create AMAZING relationships now and in the future.

Why Being A Husband And Father Isn’t Everything
Strong Men Strong Marriages
01/05/21 • 22 min
This title was hard for me to write.
Being a husband and father are two of the most important roles that I have as a man.
But, those roles are not ALL of who I am.
And, even if I do poorly in those roles...
Or walk away from them all together...
(Gulp)
I still have value.
This was a BIG breakthrough for me and I'd love to share it with you.
Watch on YouTube here.
Summary:
-God STILL cares about me (and you) even if I don't do a good job as a husband and father
-Even if I walk away completely from my family, God will STILL care for me and send people to help me
-This actually gives me MORE motivation and LESS pressure to be a good husband and father

How To Stop Being Codependent In Marriage
Strong Men Strong Marriages
12/06/22 • 29 min
What does it mean to be codependent in marriage?
For most of the guys I work with, they identify with a few things.
They put aside their own wants and needs in favor of what their wife wants and needs.
They avoid doing anything that might upset their wife (like going out with friends, disagreeing with her, confronting her about problematic behavior, etc).
They are constantly focused on meeting their wife’s wants and needs.
They lose themselves in this process, finding it hard to identify what they enjoy doing anymore. Or if they can identify it, they don’t do it (like sports, hobbies, etc).
Eventually, they start becoming resentful because they realize they are doing a lot for their wife, but their wife isn’t doing much for them.
And, this can build up to an explosion that surprises their wife. Their wife didn’t even know they were frustrated, because they haven’t been able to express the small things they’ve wanted and needed for many years. And they’ve said all along that “things are fine,” when really they weren’t.
Fortunately, we can fix this.
Codependency comes from not having a strong sense of self worth. It’s also often formed from feeling the need to manage a parents’ emotions (or drug or alcohol problems or emotional distance or abuse).
To fix it, we reconnect with a sense of self worth that’s based in God. We let our wife manage her own emotions and needs while we manage our own emotions and needs. We let go of that responsibility. We treat our wife kindly because that’s who we want to be. We ask for what we want effectively. And we create a marriage that feels like we’re winning every day for both you and your wife.

My Wife Keeps Bringing Up My Past Mistakes - What Do I Do?
Strong Men Strong Marriages
09/13/22 • 27 min
This is one of the most common problems I see in the men I work with.
It can be VERY frustrating to feel like you’re changing, but have your wife keep bringing up your past mistakes.
What you have to understand about this is that your wife is HURT.
And YOU are the one who hurt her.
And over time, the wound you have caused her has become infected.
And so, when you tell her to “get over it” or “move forward” or “trust you,” you’re basically trying to put a band aid on an infection.
Instead, you need to:
- Deeply understand her pain. This is like letting the wound drain.
- Make permanent changes. This is what helps the wound heal.
Learn about these principles in today’s episode:
Listen on Strong Men Strong Marriages.
Watch on YouTube here.
Dr. Mike
P.S. To make permanent changes, you need to:
- Identify and eliminate negative, unattractive patterns of thinking, feeling and acting
- Replace those with positive, attractive patterns
- Repeat those new patterns over and over until you can’t get them wrong
These are the three steps we follow in my program, Love, Intimacy and Legacy.

The Emasculated Vs The Empowered Husband
Strong Men Strong Marriages
11/21/23 • 16 min
Many men will tell me that they feel emasculated in their marriage.
One literal definition of this is to have your testicles removed.
While this (hopefully) is not the reality, these men FEEL one main thing...
POWERLESS.
Whether it’s with money, sex, in-laws, parenting, religion, housework or time...
These men feel like they are constantly losing while their wife is winning.
They say they try to lead... but their wife just won’t let them.
And they can’t seem to do anything about it.
Fortunately, there’s a way out of this.
Learn how to step OUT of powerlessness...
And into EMPOWERMENT...

When You Feel Like Giving Up On Your Marriage
Strong Men Strong Marriages
12/27/22 • 27 min
Sometimes marriage just seems too hard. At least to your wife.
You feel like whatever you do, it just doesn’t make a difference. Your wife won’t change.
You start to think life would be better with someone else.
But, you also don’t want to hurt your kids or go against your faith and get divorced.
This leads to you feeling trapped. You want to leave the marriage, but feel like you can’t.
That feeling is terrible, and it is also very unattractive. So basically, you’re staying in the marriage but feeling awful and repelling your wife.
Here’s what to do instead:
- Give yourself the option to leave, but count the cost
- Realize that you are part of the problem and that you will create the same issues in your next relationship if you don’t fix them
- Give yourself a time frame to build up your spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and sexual strength and your trust, communication and intimacy skills while still in the marriage. I recommend a year.
- At the end of the year, determined if you will continue the marriage or not
You attract people to you who are at your same level of spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and sexual strength. If you are a low level, you will attract someone at a low level.
You create a great relationship through trust, communication and intimacy. You will need trust and communication as a co-parent to your kids if you get divorced. And hopefully, as you built trust and mental and emotional intimacy through communication, you can also build sexual intimacy.
But if not, you will be able to get to win-win agreements with your wife and be a great example for your kids.
So, commit to building your strength and skill in the new year. There’s no downside to becoming a better, stronger, more Christ-like man.

The 3 Steps To Be The Man Your Wife Passionately Desires
Strong Men Strong Marriages
07/20/23 • 3 min
There are 3 simple steps to become the man your wife passionately desires.
Step 1 - Identify and eliminate your negative, unattractive patterns of thinking, feeling and acting.
If you don’t do this, you’ll continue to push your wife away.
And if you don’t get a guide to help you, you won’t be able to identify them. Or at least not all of them and not at a deep level.
Step 2 - Replace them with positive, attractive patterns
This is what will help you become the man your wife passionately desires.
Step 3 - Repeat the new patterns until you are attractive on default
Without this, you WILL go back to your negative, unattractive patterns. Especially under stress.
Like when your wife brings up your past mistakes or says “no” to sex.
When you do all 3 of these steps, you WILL become the man your wife passionately desires.
