Hey Reader,

Have you ever heard that it takes around 10,000 hours to master something?​
​
I bet you have.

Most men get that, at least once they’ve spent time around someone who has put that kind of time into their craft. If we want to excel in our careers, we often need to work hard for decades. If we want a strong body, we train, sweat, recover, and repeat. If we want to get good at golf, hunting, or shooting, we put in the reps, the rounds, the casts, and the time at the range or river.

We make mistakes, we come back again, and we learn.
No one argues with that. We accept it as the cost of mastery.

But here’s where most of us men go sideways in our thinking:

When it comes to marriage, we expect mastery-level results just because we said “I do.” We think showing up for work, paying the bills, not being abusive, mowing the lawn, and doing the basics should be enough. We live almost the same way we would if we were single—working, sleeping, eating, keeping the yard trimmed—and then wonder why our marriages feel flat, distant, or combative.

But here’s the truth: you do not become a master at golf by purchasing the clubs, putting them in the corner, and getting them out now and then for a polish while you daydream about being Tiger Woods.

It takes hours of sweat, failure, and practice to get good at golf. Why would marriage be any different?

Yet we still want her unshakable trust.
We want her respect and admiration.
We want her openness, her desire, and the kind of closeness that does not fade.
We want the strength to lead through conflict with confidence instead of shrinking back or blowing up.

And we want all of that without putting in the hours that actually build them.

But those things are not automatic. They are the fruit of mastery.

The truth? Most men have not put in even a fraction of the deliberate hours required to master themselves or their marriage.

And here is the sobering truth: if you are married for 40 years, you will spend more time in that partnership than you will in your career, your hobbies, or even raising your kids. That is the longest apprenticeship of your life.

Doesn’t it make sense to become great at it?
​
(I can just about guarantee your wife thinks so.)

Here’s the hard truth:
​
If you don't trust yourself to take even simple next steps to increase your mastery and resilience as a husband (which costs less than a tank of gas, and way less than a tank of diesel–ask me how I know 😬), why should your wife trust you to lead her through the storms of life and marriage?

That’s why I wrote The Resilient Husband (paperback).
Over the last year, it has been my most popular work. Men everywhere have told me how much it steadied them in conflict and gave them a new way to show up in their marriages.

But books are just the beginning. My heart is to see men actually become great husbands, not just read about it. That is why I created the 21-Day Resilient Husband Challenge—to give you the daily structure and guidance to live it out.

It is a three-week masterclass designed to strengthen your resilience, sharpen your leadership, and rebuild the trust, respect, and intimacy you want most in your marriage. Each day gives you clear steps, practical tools, and challenges that move you from passively hoping things improve to actively creating the marriage you long for.

For the first time, I am making it available at half off. Not as a gimmick, but to remove excuses for men who know it is time to stop drifting and start leading.

This offer will disappear soon, because it is for men who know it is time.

Fellas... this is where mastery begins.

Don’t just say “I do.”
Prove it.... with the hours you’re willing to invest.

Lead boldly,
Sven Masterson
