In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is joined by her husband, Rodd Stockwell, MD, to discuss a common dynamic in relationships where powerful, intelligent, ambitious women tend to take charge and express their desires, while their men respond with acquiescence and overwhelm.

Alexandra explains that this dynamic often leads to resentment and unhealthy coping mechanisms. They discuss the importance of men cultivating their own point of view and valuing it as highly as their partner's.

Also in this episode:- Men should cultivate their own point of view and value it equally to their partner's perspective.
- Recognize your own response in intense situations and practice being an oak tree, rooted in your own reality.
