Authentic Man Reviews 27

Look, I sell for a living. I know when I'm being pitched and I know when something's real. On the sales call with Dennis I was on high alert waiting for the manipulation tactics.

Never came.

He just asked about my situation, told me what he thought was going on, and said here's what it would take to fix it. No pressure. No fake urgency.

I was skeptical the whole first month. Kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. It didn't. My wife noticed changes before I even told her I was doing anything. Six weeks in and she's actually initiating conversations again.

We're getting somewhere. And I don't say that lightly because I question everything.

The communication workshops with the women on the team were the thing I didn't know I needed. I thought I was a good communicator. I talk for a living. Turns out talking AT someone and talking WITH someone are completely different things.

My wife said last week that she feels like I finally see her. We're eight weeks in and things are better than they've been in years. Should have done this a long time ago.

This is the real deal. I’ve looked into many programs and interviewed many of them before joining and Dennis and his team are the real deal. Dennis truly cares and does so much to help men in these situations and the program itself has great content and so many resources to help. If you follow the program and do the work on yourself, you will see results!!

Look, I'll be honest. I didn't agree with a lot of what Dennis was telling me. He kept saying I needed to look at myself first but I already knew what I was doing wrong, I just needed her to meet me halfway. She wasn't willing to do any work on her end and that's not something a program can fix.

Also I travel a lot for work so I missed a bunch of the calls which probably didn't help. And some of the exercises felt pointless so I skipped those.

My wife left anyway. Dennis seemed like a good guy and he tried, but this whole ""it starts with you"" approach only works if your wife is willing to come to the table. Mine wasn't. Not sure what I was supposed to do differently.

Good program overall. Learned a lot about myself and my patterns. The evening calls were solid and Dennis knows his stuff.

Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I wish I'd had a bit more 1-on-1 time. The group stuff was good but I'm the kind of person who does better with individual attention.

That said, my marriage is in a much better place than when I started. Would still recommend.

Communication training and Reactivating the king work. Measurable shift in household dynamics within 30 days. Wife's posture toward me changed. Conversations became productive vs. defensive cycles. Framework is solid. Results speak for themselves. Would recommend to anyone who's serious and willing to execute.

I was the one who broke the trust. I had the affair. Dennis helped me understand the why behind it and how to rebuild. Not with promises. With proof over time. We just hit 90 days of real progress and she says she's starting to believe me again.

Where do I even begin with this. Ok so, context: second marriage, blended family, her two daughters from her first marriage who were 9 and 12 when we got together, my son who was 7. We'd been at it for about 11 years total and things had gotten BAD. Like she moved out bad. Like her daughters wouldn't even look at me bad. Like I was losing everything AGAIN bad and the shame of that, of failing at another marriage, I can't even describe it.

I found Dennis and honestly I was desperate. Not hopeful. Desperate. There's a difference.

The evening calls worked for my schedule which was nuts at the time because I was trying to hold my business together while my personal life imploded. Judy checking in kept me accountable because there were days I wanted to just quit everything.

Two months of showing up and doing the work with zero guarantee she was coming back.

She came back last week.

But here's the part I didn't expect. Her daughters, the ones who wouldn't look at me, the older one actually told me yesterday that she sees I'm trying. That she appreciates it.

I'm crying writing this which is not something I would have admitted before this program.

The stepkid stuff is almost harder than the marriage stuff and if you're dealing with a blended family and reading this, just know this program gets it. They helped me rebuild ALL the relationships not just the one with my wife.

Worth every penny. Worth every hard conversation. Worth every uncomfortable moment. All of it.

Let me structure this in a way that might be helpful if you're an analytical person trying to evaluate this program.

The situation: 17 years married. Two teenagers (16 and 14). Wife announced she was done and I had approximately 30 days before she was filing. I had been, according to her, emotionally absent for the better part of a decade while building my practice.

What I tried first: Couples counseling (she refused to go), individual therapy (helpful for venting, not for practical change), two books (interesting concepts, poor implementation guidance).

The program: Enrolled with significant skepticism. The sales call with Dennis was refreshingly direct. No manipulation, just an honest assessment of what was wrong and what it would take. Started with Proactive Needs System which reframed how I understood what she actually needed versus what I assumed she needed. The 1-on-1 work with Dennis was candid in a way my therapist never was. He told me directly when I was rationalizing or deflecting. Uncomfortable but necessary.

The turning point: Approximately week 6. My son, 16, who had been distant and sullen for two years, asked if he could come to my office to see what I do. Unprompted. When I asked why, he said ""you're actually around now. I want to know you.""

I had to excuse myself to compose myself.

Current state: Week 10. Marriage intact and substantively improved. Wife has agreed to work on this together. Both kids are engaging in a way they haven't been in years. My son recently told me he wants to be a lawyer. ""Like you, but I'll still have dinner with my kids."" He meant it as a compliment.

Assessment: The investment was substantial. The return exceeded expectations by a significant margin. If you're a professional who's been prioritizing work at the expense of family, this program will show you exactly what that's costing and how to fix it.

Highest recommendation.

My experience has been life changing. My wife and I have been in a terrible space for a very long time. She has wanted a divorce for years and I have begged her not to. Everything I did just pushed her away. Finally last year she had enough and began actively looking for another residence to live. I was devastated and desperately needed to find a way to save my marriage. I randomly found this Authentic Man program and something about the sincerity of the founder Dennis Crosby’s approach agreed with my spirit. There was no guarantees or high pressure tactics to get me to join. In fact I was impressed that there was a free version that despite being very light had a lot of positive effects on myself and how I showed up as a man. Over the next two months I officially joined the program and I did the work and it was transformative as I learned to take full responsibility for my mistakes. My wife and I agreed to separate but that scary d word hasn’t been brought up anymore! My wife has seen the changes in me as a result of the work I am doing on myself to be a better man. I don’t know what the future holds for my marriage but I love the man that I am becoming and that matters most to me. No matter what happens I believe I win because I’m fulfilling my full potential as a man. That means any relationship that I have will be much better than before. I want my marriage to work out and I’m optimistic that it will because I’m committed to doing the work that is required to be successful as a husband and man. My focus is self improvement overall. Winning my wife back will be icing on the cake.

Also the chance to speak weekly with coaches about improving my leadership and communication skills has been very helpful. Being part of a cohort of men from many different backgrounds all seeking the same purpose to improve themselves and win back their wife has been great because I don’t feel alone. Knowing that other men struggle with some of the same things eases my stress and anxiety.

Dennis and his team is always there to support when needed. That means a lot because this journey can be an emotional roller coaster ride for sure.

I hope this offers hope for those willing to make that change within themselves for the better!

She moved out after 24 years. I assumed it was over. Dennis and his team showed me what needed to change. She came back last month. We are working on things.

Divorce papers filed. I was certain it was done.

What made me trust this program: Dennis called me at 10pm on a random Tuesday when I was falling apart. Not a team member. Him. That told me everything about how they operate.

The evening calls and 1-on-1 work gave me a plan when I couldn't think straight. She just agreed to pause the proceedings last week. Still a lot of work ahead but we're talking again.

She was already seeing someone else. After 23 years and four kids, she told me she'd found someone who "actually listened."

I wanted to fight for us but everything I tried pushed her further away. The Proactive Needs System showed me what she'd been asking for, for YEARS, that I kept missing.

Two months of doing the work with zero guarantee she'd come back.

She ended it with him last week. She's talking to me again. We're not out of the woods but she's HERE. That's more than I had.

English is not my first language so I hope this make sense. My marriage was very bad, my wife say she is done with me and I am feeling very desperate and scared.

Dennis and the communication training help me so much. I learn how I am talking to her is pushing her away even when I am trying to help. The team is very patient with me and explain things until I understand.

Now after two months my wife and me are talking again and things are getting better. I am very grateful for this program. If you are like me and feeling no hope, please try this. It is working.

Dennis & team have been great people to work with. I truly believe they have a gift of helping people. A lot of information to help you be a better version of yourself.

I found out about her affair in January. She had already moved in with him. I was absolutely destroyed. I want to be honest here, I didn't join to win her back. I joined because I was falling apart and I needed to understand what happened, what I missed, how it got to that point.

The work with Linda went places I wasn't expecting. Deep stuff. The communication training helped me process without exploding or shutting down.

She ended it with him two weeks ago. We're talking again. I don't know where we'll end up but I know I'm not the same guy who drove her away. That matters regardless of outcome.

I'll be honest, I'd tried two other programs before this and they were garbage. Generic advice, group calls full of guys who weren't serious, cookie cutter approach.

This was different from the first conversation. The sales call with Dennis wasn't salesy at all. He just asked questions and actually listened.

Dennis didn't let me make excuses or play victim. The whole team seemed actually invested in my situation, not just running a playbook.

We just got back from a weekend away. Two months ago she wouldn't be in the same room with me. So yeah. It's working.

she was seeing some other guy when i found dennis, 22 years married and she was already with someone else, i figured it was done but did the program anyway because i needed to understand what happend, did the work focused on me and she actually came back last week, still cant beleive it honestly, the AM program saved everthing

After 15 years of marriage and three children, we had a breaking moment in our lives that drew us apart. My wife effectively kicked me out of the house for a month so that we could figure out "what to do next". I saw this as a call to action and interviewed five different marriage/relationship coaches to help understand what programs that were available to help save my relationship. Dennis is the real deal. He was able to very quickly help to support me from Day 1 and help me get back to what was important in my relationship and work through what problems I was having both personally and in my relationship. This program is not for the casual person looking to just better themselves, you get out of the program what you put into it. There is a lot of content to consume so make sure to set a good schedule for yourself. Ensure that you are aligned and committed to yourself and you will see results. The bond between me and my wife continues to strengthen and it will be a while before we are back to where we were when we first got married, but we are back on our path to doing so.

Really solid program. Dennis is the real deal. Results speak for themselves and my wife has noticed real changes.

Scheduling was a bit challenging at times given my work situation but the team was flexible. Minor issue in the grand scheme.

Would recommend to anyone serious about saving their marriage.
