Summary

This is one of those issues that will make or break your marriage. Men, we are constantly barraged with culture’s standard of womanly beauty. We are subconsciously told over and over again that a beautiful woman must be skinny, tall, wear certain clothes, act a certain way, and have a risqué appetite for sex. Advertisers and content producers spend billions establishing and reinforcing what culture deems beautiful. The funny thing is that if asked to describe what a beautiful woman looks like, content producers would quickly mention inner beauty, individual uniqueness, and personality. You’ll never catch them verbalizing that beauty has to look the way they show. In today's podcast, we look at this phenomenon and share practical ways to set your own spouse as your ultimate standard of attractiveness. Thanks for listening!

It's choosing to focus on all that is good in your wife and propping her up as the ultimate beauty in your life.

0:36.5

I'd argue that following media's imposed definitions of beauty more likely constitutes a quote unquote meaningless mind game absent of value.

Oh snap. I'm not the inish man's whole career.
