The 4-Step Blueprint To Stop Divorce
By Marriage Reset
Summary
## Key takeaways - **Own your mistakes, don't blame her**: To save your marriage, you must take ownership of your role in its collapse, even if betrayal occurred on both sides. This means facing your mistakes without defensiveness and committing to being the man you should have been, regardless of her actions. [02:33], [03:15] - **Stay calm: Frame up during conflict**: When your wife unloads emotions or accusations, hold steady in your emotional center instead of reacting. This 'frame up' allows her to express herself without escalating the conflict, softening her defenses and helping her relax in your presence. [06:20], [06:39] - **Stand tall by living your values**: True strength comes from knowing and consistently living by your core values, not just thinking about them. This congruency builds deeper confidence and a sense of purpose, which draws your wife back in and makes her feel more secure. [09:35], [10:34] - **Lead on: Internal and relational effort**: Saving your marriage requires leading yourself by choosing better responses during tough moments and leading your wife by example with calm clarity. This means doing the work even when it's hard and inviting her to follow, demonstrating you are good without her, even while wanting her in your life. [11:55], [13:03]

You're about to discover four actions so
potent they have the power to revive any
marriage no matter the situation.
>> She was in another affair
like literally right around the street
from my house. I'm being honest. If it
wasn't for your program my marriage
would be gone. I have balls to bones
conviction that that is absolutely true.
Without your program I would have not
have survived. My marriage would not
have survived.
>> Sparrow's talking about our program
which gave him the tools, the strategy
and the support to turn the impossible
into progress. There is four tools to be
exact that I'm going to share with you
in today's video.
>> I remember when when she finally lost
her mind and basically told me, "I want
a divorce. I'm done."
>> The second one has the power to
instantly melt her defenses and recreate
those moments where you know she stares
at you just a little bit too long. She
laughs at all your jokes. She smiles
when you touch her. Those moments that
you deserve.
>> And slowly but surely, I would watch her
mood change. Little by little, it would
all start.
>> So, let's jump in. His marriage had
fallen so far off course. It was barely
even recognizable to him. But there's so
much damage that's been done over time.
I mean, I had a longtime affair. It
started with me. I remember when when
she finally lost her mind and basically
telling me, I want a divorce. I'm done.
And I remember I had to really go home
and sit back and think to myself, how
did we come to this? Yet, despite
betrayal from both sides in a moment
where she hit her breaking point, he
found a way to breathe new life into
their marriage. Now he's standing in a
new chapter. Not everything is healed.
Of course not. It's a lifelong process.
But they're finally on the same side
again, committed to rebuilding honesty,
strength, and vision. So, what did he do
to get there? Well, he followed a
four-step blueprint within the program.
Steps that gave him the structure to
lead with clarity to rebuild trust and
reconnect on a deeper level.
>> Your program really helps stage by stage
articulate stop doing this, do this, you
know, don't do this, do that, and if you
really want to win it back, this is
exactly what you need to do. And it was
like basically a perfect blueprint.
>> And it starts with this next crucial
step because if you breathe new life
into your marriage without doing this,
you'll stay stuck in the same loop of
just being confused, frustrated, and
spinning your wheels. And I don't want
that for you. The Spiro introduces this
step with a statement that every husband
who wants to save his marriage needs to
hear because this is what real
commitment sounds like.
>> My philosophy was before I walk away
from this marriage, I have to make
absolutely sure that I did everything in
my power. I gave it everything I had to
the last death of me that I was going to
make this work and I did everything I
could to make it work irrespective of
what she does, right? I had to own my
own truths.
>> That conviction, the conviction pushed
him to take real action. But it also
meant facing something brutal. He
couldn't blame her. You can't blame her.
Not even when she was in the middle of
an affair.
>> And at the time, she was in another
affair
like literally right around the street
from my ass. Um, and unfortunately
I had to own that because, you know,
hey, look, we I I did a lot of dumb
things myself. And I said, look, for me
to live up to what I have to live up to,
it goes back to what you've talked about
in this program. It doesn't matter what
you've done, right? Or whatever, excuse
me, it doesn't matter what she's doing,
it matters what I do.
>> You see, he did what a very apex strong
man does. He stepped up and owned it. He
took ownership of his half of the
marriage that collapsed. No matter how
messy or one-sided it looked. So even
with the pain of her affair, when he dug
down to the root of it all, he saw the
ways that he contributed to it. And over
the years, by pulling away when things
got hard, by shutting down during
arguments, instead of leaning in, by
putting work first and missing the
little moments that made her feel seen,
by brushing off her feelings, by trying
to fix them instead of listening. That's
what disconnection and emotional neglect
can look like. And it builds up until
the distance between you two feels
impossible to cross. But what does
actually owning it look like? It looks
like sitting alone with your mistakes
without trying to defend them as much as
every part of you wants to to find
rationale and reasons as to why it's not
your fault or as much as your fault. You
let go of that scorecard and instead you
show up as the man that you know you
should have been whether she sees it or
not. That's what sacrifice is in a
relationship and that's what a man does
to take the lead. When you take full
responsibility for your role, you regain
power to change it. let that sink and
play that back. And for him, that's
where everything began.
>> I think you got to recognize where it is
that you've made mistakes. In some
cases, it's like if you're the one who
started the affair, you can say, "Hey, I
I recognize that I hurt someone and I
made mistakes." If they're the one who
started the affair, you got to
recognize, well, no one just starts an
affair for no reason. You've got to
recognize the fact that, hey, it took
whatever me not being attentive, me not
listening, me not showing up for her, me
not, you know, whatever. fill in each
blank. It took me being that person to
um recognize that, you know, her change
in who she became versus who we once
were became this because of the fact
that I didn't do my job as a man.
>> And so like that that goes along the
idea of like getting your ego out of the
damn way because your ego, not yours
specifically, but our ego as men, that's
what gets in the way a lot of times with
the growth, right? Because your ego has
to parts of you have to die off
essentially for you to grow and
accepting that you made mistakes is
killing off the ego in a way. But as
much as that might sting to really truly
own it, it's actually just the
beginning. You see, there's another step
that he took. And it's the one that
changes how she really feels personally
emotionally around you. It's what makes
her stop bracing for impact in those
moments. You know, to close herself off,
to have her be cold and tense. Instead,
it softens her. It helps her relax in
your presence even when she's emotional.
Here it is in his words.
>> What I'm definitely not doing is once I
see stuff sitting in the fan like nope,
you know, frame on. I think the hardest
thing for me is not even just with Liz
even like like
you know I'm that old school like Greek
you know like almost like Greek Italians
like you know how we all are like
especially us East Coasters. It's almost
like, you know, when somebody does
something like you, you you're taught
from a child to react a certain way,
like, you know, you gotta, you know, be
forceful, you got to be tough or you got
to be whatever. Now, he says frame on
because that's exactly what he's doing.
You notice how he's calm, he's steady,
how I am right now when I'm talking to
you, he's watching the storm instead of
getting sucked into it. And that's the
second step. It's about the frame. It's
called frame up. Okay? Frame is about
holding steady in your emotional center.
It's about remaining mindful, not
mindless. Okay? You can take in what she
says and what she's giving you and truly
receive it. Hold space for it, but you
don't react to it. Okay? Her storms, her
accusations, her emotions, they're just
emotions. That's all they are. They
don't change who you are as a man. They
should not change who you are as a man.
And when she unloads about work, family,
or the kids, you don't try to solve that
problem for her. You simply allow her to
solve it herself unless she directly
asks you for logistical help. You always
say like you're not here to fix people's
problems. And I I used to do that all
the time like here's what you need to
do. You need to tell your boss this. She
doesn't want to hear that. She just you
got it.
>> Essentially, all you're doing is you're
letting her feel the emotions. I used to
be obsessed with chess. I had my whole
chess phase and it's almost like playing
chess in a high stakes game. That
pressure is building, right? The clock's
ticking away. You don't have much time
cuz you're playing blitz if you know
what I mean. You know what I mean? And
then you just get hit with a bold move
and you're sitting there maybe puts you
in check and you don't want to sacrifice
this pawn or whatever it is because
you'll lose. But instead, you don't
flinch. You study the board despite how
much time is left and you wait for the
right moment to respond. You let that
moment come to you, the right decision.
Okay, that's what the frame looks like.
But it's harder than it sounds because
like Sparrow mentioned, it's ingrained
deep in us as children to react, right?
We're taught that way. But that's a
child and part of development as an
adult, as someone who can hold space for
her and protect her of what she wants.
You need to learn the skill of not
reacting anymore.
>> I don't even think she knows how to
handle the new me sometimes. She still
doesn't know how to always react. even
now with my kids like she like I
remember my daughter did something
really stupid and she looked at me she's
like you're not gonna say anything and
I'm like what would you like me to say
or like in the past I'd like lose
because that was that's how we did it
that's how you that's how you were
taught to react and that's what your
parents did and that's what you did now
I realize even doing that with my kids
is a reflection and a reaction that
she's expecting me to be difficult or be
tough and like no like staying in my
frame even in those situations and like
allowing ing her to react, right? Like
to to that to your point being calm.
>> When you do this, she can't deny the
difference. Okay. The instant difference
in who you are as a man. I mean, it gave
him strength. It rebuilds trust and
respect because you don't crumble into
her tests. And you know, she subcon, if
you watch this channel, you know she
subconsciously tests you. She holds the
belief subconsciously, unknowingly that
if my man, the man that I'm supposed to
love, breaks down under my test, how can
he withstand the world's test? Even if
you think you can, she doesn't feel that
way if you break down under hers. She
needs a man to look up to. And if you're
reacting to things she's saying, your
your self-worth is falling apart because
of a few words she says to you, you're
not the man anymore, are you? Listen to
him describe it.
>> One of your other videos talks a lot
about like, hey, like what are your
values, right? Like, do you even know
what your values are? Could you list
your top three or four values? And it's
like I thought to myself like, well, I I
have a lot of values. I'm I'm a good
guy. I'm honest. I'm devoted. But like,
he's got a good point. Like what do I
live by every day? Right? What are the
two or three values like that I live by
every day?
How do you own those every day? How do
you keep an edge to yourself as a guy?
See, he had to learn to stand tall. A
lot of men, they'll think about their
values, but they don't live through
them. This is called congruency. Okay?
Every moment, he showed up with
discipline. He made decisions based on
who he wanted to be, the man he wanted
to embody, the values that he had. He
said, "What are my values in this
situation, and how do I uphold them?"
And consistently over time, your wife
will notice these things. She has this
subtle little barometer, this feeling,
this intuition of your congruency of who
you say you are, who you want to be
versus actually who you are. And until
you actually start um peeling and
scrubbing that off, start making that
your daily focus every single day,
nothing's really going to change.
>> Like, you're kidding yourself. You're
full of like if you really think that
things are going to get better, they're
not. Things aren't going to get better.
Things are only going to get better when
you recognize you have a problem. When
you recognize what it is you can do
about it, and when you're actually going
to take the time and the energy to put
out the work to do it.
>> Psychologists call this
self-determination theory. It shows that
when you live by your core values, no
matter how you feel in the moment, okay,
key word, you strengthen your identity.
You build deeper confidence, stronger
habits, and a sense of purpose. All
masculine traits that draw her back in
and make her more feminine, relaxed, and
open. And the people closest to you
begin to trust your consistency because
they see it in how you show up every
single day. And I would be lacking
congruency myself as a man if I didn't
tell you, hey, the best way for you to
actually get help to change your
situation, to be on the next video of a
guy saving his marriage that I talked to
personally is to get on a call with our
team for the free strategy call. Just
make sure you're fully invested into
saving your marriage and we'll get you
on that call. We'll give you the exact
blueprint that you need to move forward
like Sparrow. Now, I mentioned the word
consistency. Okay, this final step is
what keeps the momentum alive and
connects all the other steps cohesively
together. It's what can make your wife
stop wondering if you've changed and
start trusting that you are. Okay, let's
hear from Spiro again.
>> You got to be willing to put in the work
and you have to be willing to like
use all the different tools that are
available to you. Like there's so many
different books, whether that's the
books you recommend, the work you
recommend, you know, it's it's it's
if you're not doing all that, it's not
going to work. um you know that's my
view of it. I mean you can't possibly uh
you can't possibly you know move forward
or move ahead unless you actually put in
the time.
>> The step that he is talking about is
simple but demanding. It's about leading
on. It means leading on two fronts. See
there's internal leadership doing the
hard reps when no one's watching. Okay?
Choosing the better response in that
tough moment when everything inside of
you is screaming to just oh it's not
fair or I should say this to her. No,
you're choosing a new response and that
gets a new outcome, doesn't it? That's
what becoming a new man is. It's going
against your ingrained emotions, your
reactions. It means taking notes on
these videos. It means doing something
different like setting up a call if you
haven't yet. Okay. Now, Jeff Olsen talks
about these little micro behaviors in
his book, The Sidelight Edge. He says
the difference between success, winning
your wife back, and failure. You know
what that looks like? It's not dramatic.
In fact, the difference between success
and failure is so subtle, so mundane
that most people miss it. It's these
small promises that you keep to yourself
despite the setbacks. Okay? It is doing
what you say you'll do. It is not
listening to the hopelessness inside of
you, that part of you that just wants to
give up, right? It's sticking through it
and trusting that you're on the right
path despite the evidence to the
contrary. Okay? It's having that faith.
That's how you put in the work and
that's how you lead yourself. Now, the
second part of this leading is called
relational leadership. And it means
inviting your wife forward with calm,
clarity, and without pressure. To lead
your wife means you lead by example and
then she follows. She will start with
curiosity, asking you about your day.
How are you actually doing? And she'll
follow it with a test. I saw this the
other day on one of the posts in the
community. Okay? It's classic. We see it
all the time. All right? Stay in your
own energy. Lead yourself. She will
notice when no you no longer need her as
much, but you want her in your life.
That is the key to all of this. that he
masters that every single guy that saves
their marriage, they understand this
intuitively in their heart, okay? That
they are good without her. Yes, you want
your wife in your life, but you don't
need her. And that is self- loveve. That
is your own value. And that's what she's
drawn to. Someone who is valuable. Okay?
Listen to this last part of our
conversation. Like I, you know, you're
you're like this great guy that everyone
loves and appreciates. And here I am.
Like I had to recognize like this isn't
who I am. This isn't what I'm capable of
living up to. This isn't the father I
want to represent. this isn't the
husband I want to be. And you know, I
think at some point when you don't
recognize you're this person who can do
more, you think you're like this great
guy, you're like, are you really a great
guy? What are your values? How you
living up to them? How are you keeping
an edge? How are you doing these
different things? You just think because
of merit and all the different good acts
you've done across your time that that
that that holds up and it's not. That's
BS. That's not how it works. You know it
and I know it. So
>> yeah, that's an honest self inventory
and it goes back to the ego idea as
well, right? So
>> yeah,
>> it hurts on the front end, right? But
that process of hurting on the front
end, much like working out, it brings
dividends on the back end.
>> Yeah,
>> that's right.
>> When you do all these steps, okay, you
own it, you lead on, you stand tall, you
frame up, that's when your wife starts
to relax around you. That's when you
become a source of value. Okay, her
voice will start to soften. She'll smile
more, she'll reach out to you, she'll
send you longer text messages. These are
all signs that she's opening up. I don't
care if a moment later, a week later,
day later, she says, "Oh, I'm moving
forward with a divorce." Look at the
positive signs. Okay? That is the key.
Now, there's another marriage that we
saved right here. A really good story
that I want you to check out. Again, I
prefer you check out a call down below
with our team to really take different
action to get different results. I'll
see you in the next one, man. Just
