For the moment, forget about saving the M, or getting a D, etc. Just try to concentrate on reading the book. As you read it and have your eyes opened even more, make some notes on what you can do to improve yourself as a man. Not a husband, but just as a man. Saving yourself comes before you are able to save anything else.
Setting personal goals is important. (Don't make them about the M or the W). It helps you to stay on track with your plan to move forward in getting healthier, happier, and a better all around man. Get a calendar/planner and fill those days with GAL plans, kid activities, etc. Challenge yourself to try something different. These things do not come naturally at first. You have to plan ahead and work the plan. Once you begin GAL, you will be able to tell a difference in your state of mind.
Have a plan to work in keeping yourself physically fit, getting enough sleep, and help for depression/anxiety. Medication, self-help books, counseling, etc. are options to consider.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
