Many driven fathers fall into the trap: believing financial success equals a fulfilling family life. But what if your bank account is overflowing while your marriage is running on empty? Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind Larry lived the dream–a high-powered career, a comfortable home, everything a provider could want. Yet, behind the facade of success, his marriage was crumbling. He was a stranger in his own house, his connection with his wife fading with each passing day. The statistics are clear: emotional disconnection TAKES A TOLL. And here's what the research tells us about the power of emotional connection: Couples who engage in regular date nights are 14% less likely to divorce. Children who have emotionally available fathers display 25% fewer behavioral issues. Couples who prioritize emotional intimacy report a 70% increase in overall relationship satisfaction. This episode exposes the myth that a bulging bank account equates to a loving, connected family. Larry provides actionable steps to prioritize emotional intimacy. He offers insights and guidance on cultivating a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with your spouse. He reminds us that connection, not possessions–is the true currency of love. www.thedadedge.com/friday199 www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance

Episode Summary. This episode begins by noting that Genesis 3:17 tells us that God's curse upon Adam for his rebellion in the Garden of Eden was not just for transgressing the command not to eat the fruit but for his reversal of God's created order of roles. Man's call to lead the home matters to God. This episode examines what leadership is and is not, providing a diagram for understanding the three functions of leadership. We then add flesh to this skeletal structure by shaping a 5-fold job description for men as they function as spiritual leaders of their homes. For Further Prayerful ThoughtWhy do you thin God told Adam he was being punished for his role reversal as well as eating the forbidden fruit?What stood out to you in this episode about what leadership is not?How would use explain the three functions of leadership?

Reignite your marriage: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage Today, I have the privilege of sitting down with Scott Zemens who epitomizes the power of personal transformation within family life and fatherhood. He's a dedicated business owner who, not long ago, found himself struggling to find balance in his life—feeling distant from his family and yearning for deeper connections with his kids. When he joined the Dad Edge Alliance, he made a bold commitment to step up, starting with daily, meaningful conversations with his children—asking open-ended questions to truly understand their world. On top of that, he made a life-changing decision to give up alcohol for a year, a move that radically reshaped his mindset, relationships, and energy as a father. The results have been extraordinary. His wife has expressed how much she loves the father he's become, especially his leadership in the home after the arrival of their baby last October. His kids now have a dad who listens more, talks less, and focuses on creating memories that will last a lifetime. Today, we'll dive into his journey—what inspired these changes, the lessons he's learned, and the advice he'd give to his pre-Alliance self about stepping into the kind of father, husband, and leader his family deserves. This special "WINSday" edition is all about celebrating our members' successes and sharing the valuable lessons they've learned on their journey to becoming better dads.

Your extraordinary marriage starts here: www.thedadedge.com/25questions Today, in this debut episode of Friday Fatherly Fumbles, First Downs, and Field Goals, Larry Hagner shares intimate insights from his personal fatherhood journey, emphasizing that parenting is a learnable skill rather than an innate ability. Through candid stories of his own parenting challenges, including moments of lost patience, he draws a compelling parallel to Navy SEAL training to illustrate how fathers can develop emotional regulation and composure in challenging parenting situations. The episode kicks off this new weekly series by delving into his passionate perspective on two crucial aspects of family dynamics: the importance of prioritizing marriage alongside parenting to create a strong family foundation, and the vital role of building genuine connections with children through meaningful engagement.
