husDOM | Masculine Dominant Leadership

Relationships are challenging. How to have a close and meaningful relationship with your partner is not something that most or probably any of us were ever taught in school, and some of us have few, if any, good role models to emulate. It has been said that how we behave in our intimate relationships today is often a reflection of our parents and how they behaved towards one another in their relationship.  This statement will vary from individual to individual but for myself, in some instances at least, it is alarmingly accurate.  Through the years I have demonstrated many of the same marital blunders as my father.  My father is not to blame, however, and neither is his father or his father's father.  And if you are in a similar situation your father isn't at fault either.  Remember, most of us have never been specifically taught how to have a successful and fulfilling marriage including your father.  Powerful relationships don't just happen by chance.  And the couples living them don't take them for granted.  They are fully present, all of the time, and they have learned the skills that are required to succeed in a relationship.  When you see a married couple that has a healthy meaningful relationship, the odds are if their happiness is authentic, that they will have many other powerful relationships in their lives as well.  It is almost as if they have cracked the code on relationship skills.If you are listening to this podcast you are most likely here learning or honing those very skills, never taught to us anywhere else.  Those skills are required to have a successful, meaningful, and purposeful relationship.Understanding the most common behaviors that damage relationships can be a good first step to having a powerful lasting marriage.See how many of these behaviors seem familiar, either in yourself or your partner.  Which ones of these do you excel at and which ones should you focus more attention on?

In today's episode, I'm going to be talking with Marshall Bradford. Marshall is a good friend of mine, and I have known him since close to the beginning of my DS journey. Marshall lives in Las Vegas and is an integral part of the local rope bondage scene. He is both an erotic photographer and a well-versed rope bondage artist. Marshall is one of the best rope instructors that I have met as he seems to have no ego and teaches people absolutely everything he knows holding nothing back, wanting nothing more than to see you reach your full potential. Marshall has attended several of our Marriage's Sexiest Secret events, either as an instructor of rope bondage one on one, or as a presenter suspending his assistant during one of our dinner events, or even as a judge of our rope money bondage contest. We have the honor of having Marshall on our show today to talk about rope bondage. And to give us some pointers on where to get started in this art. We discussed things such as the different types of rope available, different diameters, and lengths of rope as well. Marshall will tell us what he prefers and why. He will also give us some starting points on putting together our first rope bondage kit, including some reputable places to purchase your rope. Join me today as I talk with Marshall Bradford about rope bondage.

During my journey to become a better man, a better husband, a better Dominant and a better leader there hasn't been a time when I haven't felt like my personal health and fitness wasn't an integral part of my journey.  This to me was just like oxygen to a flame, a necessity. After Beastly told me of his departure, I began asking myself, what was so important to me about having a health and fitness group on husDOM.  Why was I so passionate about this topic when many times I felt like I stood practically alone in my drive and my desire? If you notice there is not one other group on husDOM that doesnt directly have something to do with Dominance and submission.  The Men's Health group is the only outlier.  Why was that?  Why did I feel so strongly that it was an important part of my Dominance and  leadership?And should I just let it go?After no more than a minute maybe two of soul searching I realized that health and fitness played a much larger and important role in my life than just being healthy and in good physical condition.  It is part of who I am as a person.  This epiphany sounds pretty dramatic in a way but bare with me for a minute.What I discovered is that for me personally the health and fitness aspect was about self discipline.  It was something in my life that was in my complete control.  Sure I could blame others or my circumstances for my choices but really in the end it was about self discipline and owning it.  “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.”  Jim Rohn Join me today as I discuss the importance of self discipline in my personal life.

In today's episode, I'm going to talk about [ A DOMINANT'S PERSPECTIVE ] Perspective in life in general and perspective in your Married Dominance and submission relationship (D/s M). This morning, I was chatting with Fade, Fade is a member in the Fox's Den.  I really enjoy the camaraderie of the other Dominants and the conversations that take place there.  It really helps me personally in my growth as a person and a leader in all aspects of my life.  In an effort to begin a conversation with Fade, I began to make small talk by asking him how he was doing today and his response was a small reflection into his character as a person, and as a man.Join me today as I talk about how a positive perspective, or a positive attitude is one of the most important attributes for any great leader or Dominant to possess.Become a better man, a better father, better husband...  Become a husDOM!

This podcast episode topic was generated from a conversation that I had while chatting with another husDOM in the Fox's Den.  I could remember how I felt during the beginning of my Dominance and submission journey and how difficult it was to develop the true confidence.  Not the light hearted, sure I am a Dom attitude, but rather the knowing it, feeling it.  Being confident that I would do the right thing in the right moment.In this episode I recommend three attributes to focus on to help us build and enhance our confidence in the new role of being Dominant husband.After listening to the episode I invite you to continue the conversation by leaving a comment on the bottom of the podcast episode's webpage. 

Work smarter, not harder, and you're married dominance and submission relationship. The phrase work smarter, not harder. I'm sure we've all heard this before in our lifetime, it's nothing new.

Welcome to the husDOM and Married with a Twist podcast. You have officially fallen down the rabbit hole...We are the founders of the subMrs and husDOM online communities and creators of the Married Dominance and submission dynamic or what is commonly referred to within our communities as D|s-M. We embarked on our journey in 2012. And today our communities are about 20,000 members strong. In today's episode, we will be covering, What is D|s-M and could it be right for you?  What is D|s-M?  D|s-M is Dominance submission for married couples. The result of practicing D|s-M states the most important needs of every couple. The wife, it satisfies a deep craving or hunger for intimacy or closeness with her husband.The husband will acquire his need for the unexplained trust and respect from his wife.D|s-M is our method that we created that brings D|s, Dominance and submission into a couple's marriage in a consensual, and healthy manner. The methodology positively builds a marriage and is never used to damage or weaken it, giving you all that edge without you or your marriage getting cut. You'll be working together as a team on your dynamic and individually working on your part of the D|s role. Whether you're the Dominant role or the submissive role, you both work on your own individual role. All while you will be independently working on your internal and external self. Doing this, you will find mutual acceptance and a deep spiritual connection with your spouse. This method gives you a place to begin and the guidance you'll need and taking those first steps into your journey. Along the way, you'll be tasting the many pieces that make up this "kinky pizza" of what this thing we do...Welcome to our Wonderland!
