## Resource

Being a nice guy is not the problem. Sacrifice is not the problem. The problem is giving covenant-level commitment to someone who does not share covenant-level convictions. In this episode, MCM breaks down why many men feel used, unappreciated, and exhausted in relationships. Not because they loved too much, but because they failed to properly vet who they were loving. This episode is about the difference between kindness and weakness, sacrifice and discernment, attraction and alignment, covenant and preference. If you have ever wondered, “If I’m such a nice guy, why can’t I keep a woman?” this one is going to hit hard. Watch or listen now.
