Why Good Men Struggle in Marriage and How to Rebuild Trust, Intimacy, and Partnership Fast

NATIONWIDE - OCTOBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) In a world where career success, family obligations, and shifting gender roles collide, even good men are struggling to maintain a long and happy marriage.The hustle and pressures of work performance often drain them of their energy leaving nothing left for their loved ones at home. Stress, tension, and guilt start to build. Communication breaks down. And intimacy, both emotional and physical, quietly disappears leaving couples unfulfilled and inevitably leading to separation or divorce. But as Jeanell Greene, nationally recognized Relationship Coach and Marriage Strategist, emphasizes, it’s not their fault.

Her approach isn’t about blame, judgment or taking sides; it’s about helping couples understand the emotional patterns behind their behavior and redirecting their path back to love, teamwork, and connection.

The Real Reason Men Struggle in Modern Marriage

Let’s be honest: Most men were never taught how to navigate emotional intimacy. They grew up hearing that real men are strong, stoic, and silent. Providers. Protectors. Problem-solvers. But not necessarily partners.

“The truth is, men were raised to lead with action and logic, not emotion,” says Jeanell. “They were taught that success and strength define their worth, but never shown how to connect or communicate when love gets hard.”

Today, with both partners working, raising children, and juggling endless responsibilities, the emotional distance between couples has widened. Women have become more independent, driven, and vocal, while men often feel unsure of their role and expectations, while still being fully expected to be emotionally available, supportive, and present.

“Many men feel like they’re losing the battle in love despite giving everything they can,” Jeanell explains. “They’re lonely, misunderstood, and secretly afraid they’re failing as husbands and fathers. They want to show up as a strong leader, but often don’t know how or what that looks like now that couple dynamics have changed so much in recent years. ”

Jeanell’s Story: From Pain to Purpose

Jeanell’s talent, experience, and passion for helping couples heal didn’t come from theory or education, it came from personal experience.

At just nine years old, her picture-perfect family shattered when her father had an affair, got her mother’s best friend pregnant, and left, leaving her family in utter shock. Her father’s betrayal and abandonment left deep emotional scars that followed her into adulthood. “I grew up believing I was unlovable, that I couldn’t trust men, and that everyone I loved would eventually leave me,” she shares. “Those beliefs shaped my relationships and the constant rejection reinforced the story that I wasn’t worthy of love.”

Through years of self-discovery, personal development, and prayer, Jeanell began to understand how she had been living out old emotional wounds formed in childhood. “So many of us carry around identities that were never ours to begin with,” she says. “We repeat behavior patterns because our wounds remain unhealed. The problem is, those toxic patterns are often buried in pride, ego, and coping mechanisms we either inherited or learned when we were young. Similar to blind spots while driving, you can’t fix what you can’t see. And without someone to help you identify them, you’ll keep crashing and destroying everything you worked so hard for.”

What changed everything for Jeanell was witnessing her mother’s extraordinary act of forgiveness. After years apart, her father was diagnosed with kidney failure, underwent a transplant and eventually asked to return home to recover. Her mother forgave him, welcoming him back into their lives for the sake of her children.

“Through my mom’s incredible display of love, humility, and grace, I witnessed the power of forgiveness,” Jeanell recalls. “She showed me that love always prevails, that people can change, and that families can heal. My dad made a huge mistake, but he owned up to it, became a better man, husband, and father. Our story proves that anything is possible when love and family are at the center of it all.”

That experience became the foundation of Jeanell’s life mission: to help others heal their pain, rewrite their stories, and restore faith in love. “I believe  that mistakes are meant to be corrected, not punished.” 

The Marriage Reset Method: Fast, Lasting Transformation

Jeanell’s unique approach is not traditional talk therapy, it’s a results-driven, emotionally intelligent coaching framework designed to help couples rebuild connection, trust, and intimacy quickly and effectively so they can powerfully move forward together.

Her process blends mindset coaching, goalsetting, subconscious re-programming, communication strategies, and accountability. Unlike conventional counseling that rehashes the past, Jeanell’s approach focuses on moving forward, leaving the painful past behind through forgiveness, and taking bold action. 

“In as little as 90 days, I help couples go from pain, loneliness, and resentment… to joy, empathy, and playful partnership,” she explains. “It’s about rebuilding the emotional safety that allows love to thrive again, but you have to be willing to let go of the anger, hurt, and pain if what you want at the end of the day is love and peace. It’s simple, but not easy.

Her client reviews report staggering results within weeks, resulting in renewed joy, laughter, teamwork, and a deeper sense of peace at home.

Redefining Masculinity: The Rise of the Leader of Love

A core part of Jeanell’s message is redefining masculinity in relationships. She teaches men to become Leaders of Love who lead their families with both power and heart.

“Being vulnerable doesn’t make you look weak, it makes you magnetic,” she says. “Women crave emotional connection. Vulnerability is all about emotional honesty. They want a man who makes them feel safe, seen, and cherished. You can be powerful, masculine, and vulnerable all at once. That’s what true leadership in love looks like. Finding the right balance can be tricky especially if trust and communication is weak.”

Jeanell believes that when men finally learn the nuances of emotional intelligence, and have a better understanding of emotions, empathy, and ego,  they become not only better partners but better fathers, role models, and human beings. “When a man heals, the whole family heals,” she says. “That’s how generational change begins.”

Why Jeanell Does What She Does

Inspired by her parents’ story, she has dedicated her life to helping couples overcome infidelity, resentment, and disconnection.

“Infidelity recovery is my passion,” she shares. “I’ve helped countless couples repair their marriage and avoid divorce, often within weeks. People often divorce not because they don’t love each other, but because they feel hopeless and tired. I’m here to tell you, divorce isn’t the answer; it only brings more pain and stress. Forgiveness is possible when both are willing to grow, learn, and work together as a team.”

Through her compassionate coaching, Jeanell provides a safe space for couples to confront their fears, take accountability, and break the cycle of trauma.

Love Is a Skill, And It Can Be Relearned

Jeanell believes most marriages aren’t broken; they’re untrained. “Love isn’t something you fall into; it’s a skill,” she explains. “So many people are in relationships for the wrong reasons, and so then things get hard, they blame the other person, give up and leave. The problem is many of us didn’t grow up with both parents or have healthy relationship models, so we aren’t equipped to handle difficult situations, but with the right tools, you can reset faster than you think.”

“What’s extraordinary is that both sides want peace and happiness but often don’t realize it because they’re against each other.”

Jeanell’s Marriage Reset Method shows that healing doesn’t have to take years. In just 90 days, couples can transform their relationship with the right mindset, mentorship, and emotional intelligence.

Jeanell, happily married for almost 20 years, shares, “My husband is my best friend, inspiration, and teacher. A lot of what I teach comes from personal experience and proven success.”
