Yelling at the Mirror Won’t Fix Your Hair

I was watching The Lion King with my daughter when something hit me.

There’s a scene where Rafiki takes Simba to a quiet spot and tells him, “Look into the water.”

Simba sighs. He only sees himself.

But Rafiki pushes him. “Look harder.”

The ripples settle. And suddenly, Simba doesn’t just see himself he sees his father.

Then Mufasa’s voice thunders from the sky: “You have forgotten who you are.”

It wasn’t about the reflection. It was about what Simba believed.

The way he saw himself shaped everything.

That’s exactly how your marriage works.

Your marriage is a mirror.

Not because she’s copying you. Not because she’s choosing to pull back.

But because the dynamic between you has set the tone.

If there’s been distance, it’s not because of one big moment. It’s what’s been reflected over time.

• If she’s hesitant, maybe she’s learned to be.

• If she’s guarded, maybe she stopped feeling safe enough to be open.

• If she’s distant, maybe she’s been waiting for something to feel different.

Not in words. Not in logic. In the way she feels when she’s around you.

That’s why most men don’t see it coming.

Because at first, nothing seems that wrong.

Then one day, she looks at you, and it’s different.

And by the time you feel the shift, she’s already been feeling it for a while.

Think losing a wife just means losing the relationship?

Think again.

It’s:

• Starting over -navigating life alone, splitting time with your kids, and watching her move on while you’re still picking up the pieces.

• The emotional weight- knowing you waited too long to change, and now it’s not your choice anymore.

• The financial hit- turning every bad decision into a life-altering one.

By the time she’s fully checked out, you’re no longer fighting for her, you’re fighting for damage control

If You Want a Different Outcome…

Look harder.

Because when she finally sees you differently, everything changes.
