"Married Men Don't Talk," Tony Hawkins ISBN
978-1-60264-917-0 (ebook) 178 pages. $9.99
Married Men don’t talk is the result of a weekly talk show for married men, the one thing that we have found to be certain with married men is that we only talk about certain issues outside the home.
Sports, yard work, sales at home depot, vacations with the family, work attire, worthless family members, children, coworkers male and female and the occasional details about the extra marital affair.
We are taught at a young age to man up and hide your emotions and to never wear them on your sleeve, be the man of your house! Anything else would be considered weakness, so the consequences of your friends knowing that there’s a problem in your marriage can be detrimental, so what do we do?
We don’t discuss marital issues most of us keep in to ourselves and just deal with it and try to work thru it.
What we have also found is that doesn’t work because then there’s the issue with resentment with our spouse that can lead to infidelity, abandonment and sometimes divorce.
Most of the men on our show have no real teaching on how to be a husband the example was set by our father’s uncles and older male role models in our community.
We have had well over 150 married men that have stopped buy our show in the last year and shared a personal experience with issues that they have had and are still dealing with in their marriage.
We didn’t want any professionals in the field of marriage on our show because that will compromise the comfort level of speaking freely and they might monopolize too much of the show.
We have been comprised of married men, divorced men, newlywed and single men with hopes of getting married in the near future.
3 moderators Rodney Turner, Patrice Echard and myself Tony Hawkins with rotating weeks.
The moderator’s job is to pick a topic for discussion do the research on that topic and facilitate the show by asking important questions that will get the conversation started.
