Romantic commitment is the most consequential investment a man can make. It affects every facet of our lives-from how much money we make, to how long and how happily we live.
And the women to whom we offer our commitment are the recipients of our greatest gift.
Why, then, do so many of us devote ourselves to women who drive us crazy, or even ruin our lives?
And why do we repeat malfunctioning relationship patterns that damage our happiness, our health, and our productivity?
At a time when cynicism toward romance is at an all-time high, Gatekeeper offers a counterintuitive message of hope for men: raise your standards. Transcend the history and habits that foster unworkable commitments.
A better life is never free. It takes work. But maybe it's time to expect more from ourselves, from our relationships, and from the women in our lives.
Gatekeeper is the roadmap for any man starting out, starting over, or simply looking to improve his relationships with women. If commitment is our greatest investment, then our relationships should be among our most powerful assets.
