    Standing shoulder- to- shoulder regularly with other men strengthens our listening skills, increases our ability to be present and open, and helps us work through some of our issues— qualities that also tremendously enhance intimacy with our partner. An old tribal proverb remembers that shared joy is double joy, and shared sorrow is half sorrow.
