31min | 12/11/2023

Description

How can a man be strong during and/or after a divorce? Elliott Katz’s theories dive into that reality. He says the most important part of recovering from a divorce is to look at yourself and realize what you need to learn from it. Blaming the other person won’t get you down the healing path you need to be on. How should you have been different? Getting back to the basics of the men being hunters and gatherers works on this premise. Elliott says men need to take charge more and make more decisions and with themselves.

Elliot is a retired speechwriter and author from Toronto. After going through a divorce, he embarked on a journey to learn what it means to be a man in a relationship. He discovered that many men today lack the qualities that women desire, such as leadership, decision-making, and taking responsibility. Elliot has written two books, "Being the Strong Man a Woman Wants" and "How to Get Your Man to Wear the Pants...So You Don't Have To," to educate men and women on how to have successful relationships.

Believing that men need to step forward and show their share of leadership in order to have successful relationships Elliot also discusses the importance of making decisions and planning dates, as well as the need for men to communicate in a calm and positive manner. Elliot encourages men to work on themselves before getting back into the dating scene and to set boundaries in relationships.
