Comment from : T/A=C+

I got married because he needed a visa and at the time we didnt want to split up Its been 2 years married and its always the same fight of him being concerned for my health, that he thinks i snack on junk food too much Which i do when im stressed I would choose to snack on fruit if we had some, but i recognise its the conveniece of the snacks that make me go for them I know he disapproves of me having more than 1 snack a day so if i eat something i hide the wrapper so he wont find out Que the inevitable, he found out and its another fight about the same thing that i dont need him to be a food cop, if he wants me to lose weight i need him to be supportive and understanding(particularly when on my period) that sometimes i do need the extra snack - that i dont typically binge a whole tonne of snacks its only going from1 to 2 in the day for that day im particularly stressed This has been a constant fight between us I just want him to respect me that i can make my own decisions with food If i say i will eat what i want without judgement he threatens to leave, slamming his hand against walls throwing things or slamming doors(he does this intentionnally when we fight because he KNOWS it makes me upset/fearful) so tell me, is it worth for me to continue fighting for this or should we just call it quits?

I'm on the verge of a divorce Wondering if its the right choice There is just too much damage done
Comment from : Hopeful man

I enjoy hearing how you speak about marriage It's hard to find anymore and it's peaceful to my mind and heart to hear your thoughts I married late in life at the age of 35 and I come here when my marriage is going through the ups and downs I always seem to remember while I'm listening to you that there's way more than just me not being happy at times That she of course has her moments when she isn't happy We are at the 3 year mark and the arguing is frustrating and exhausting We have twin girls and another on the way And I wouldn't dare ask for a divorce because of the children But I often ask myself, when will my wife start to take it on herself to watch videos like this? Maybe I should take it upon myself and share your videos with her Thank you sir for what you do!!! 🙏 You're a blessing

What about when you don’t have kids? Is it still better to stay married?
Comment from : Louise

Love and Happiness!
Comment from : LiberalFascist Traitors

Disagree About the part over divorce affects kids Yes it does but if the couple is unhappy fight all the time, don’t show love or affection each other how’s that healthy for the kids ?
Comment from : Clover Homes

Comment from : Pelo Joy

So if you found out after getting married that's your husband lied to you about his mental health he was taking medication but did not tell you and secondly they tempeted to kill you( by poisonning your food) twice in the same marriage what to do?
Comment from : BENIE-GRACE

I’m weighing this right now, I want to stay together for our baby, but there is a lot of yelling My husband is always the one to confront problems and it usually stars intense immediately I’ve become withdrawn a lot over the years Idk if I should stay and put them through the verbal abuse or leave 😔

I was with my wife for 15 years before we got married, the relationship fell apart after we got married
Comment from : inserter400

I have realised just how selfish some married couples are, they always think of what the other one is doing to them but never admitting they wrong or they are the problem If you truly love something you take good care of it and unconditionally show love
Comment from : Sunflower🙏

Paul, it is our job to make ourselves happy, but what do you recommend when one spouse is making the other unhappy? (Killing their joy, eg by regularly leaving them with the kids to hang out late)
Comment from : T L

Me and my spouse are likely headed for separation She told me she wants to live on her own with our small child and honestly there is no physical attraction but I am terrified for my 2 year old daughter to be without me everyday What are your thoughts on a parenting marriage, Mr Friedman?

Comment from : Shofar So Good

Does this advice apply if your spouse is alcoholic with a tendency to violence
Comment from : TT and A

I understand what your trying to say but the reason my husband gave for asking for divorce is he’s tired of being the debt slave to society He said everyone always wants something from me but God told me I can finally be free and happy in Africa My husband is European never been to Africa but he is 100 convinced God told him to sell everything and move to Africa The only way I can stay married to him is if I follow this fever dream let go of everything we’ve ever worked for and move to one of the poorest countries It’s a constant battle I had a heart to heart talk with my children and they think daddy doesn’t love them because he comes home and starts yelling at everyone and never wants to do anything with them I feel so bad for them that it almost feels like a blessing in disguise If he leave the country we don’t have to go through a long drawn out messy divorce but if I go with him to Africa “just to try it out” with him like he says he may not let me leave with the children so I have to let him go Apparently this family he prayed for all his life was just a temporary thing for him Now “God says to leave us for another country” in his mind that is right How can I argue with someone that messed up I see nothing left to stay but count down the days til he leaves in September

Forgive me, but there appears to be some ideas driven by your generation here Two miserable parents are not better for children than a divorced couple who are happier individually A miserable married person is a miserable parent
Comment from : MamaReader

Thank you! The video is highly educative brPlease I would love to request if you can make a video for young people who are preparing to get married

Thank u for this
Comment from : Outdoors girls

What if you are a positive person and you do make yourself happy but your spouse is a very negative person and puts you in a bad mood as soon as you get home
Comment from : Bianca Algeria

I watched your video and yes every single person who get married get married because of loving one another, but there are some major things I can say you have not considered in this video, you assume every person looking to quit on a marriage wants to re marry are even get into another relationship Are you being serious when you think children are better in a toxic marriage? You are correct in saying pre marriage courses are not very good We don't have any other circumstances other than when we become parent's for the 1st time and we get married that even though they are the two biggest things that will ever happen in our lives even bigger than buying a house, we simply don't have any practicing are in other words educational services that teach humans about the biggest most major important things we do I honestly don't believe you should stay in a toxic marriage, your children will suffer more and after all no child ever asks to be born so we as adults should ALWAYS do what is best for OUR CHIOD ARE OUR CHILDREN

I have been married for 10 years and we have 3 young children I am a believer in Jesus christ and feel like im the only one who tries to keep our home and family together He would rather lay in bed watching his cellphone and he can't communicate to me without yelling Idk what to do anymore I just feel like either way I'm losing but losing my dad back in July made me realize how short life is Yet watching my mom mourn his loss and my own grief has been horrible I just don't know what to do anymore bc I feel like I'm walking on eggshells constantly and raising our 3 children alone 😪 😔 😕 Lord help me 🙏

Comment from : Tam T

problem is people don't want to work on being married
Comment from : Angela Coleman

It’s always the man screwing up !! cheating lying being absolutely selfish and doesn’t want to work on the marriage even after forgiving them over and over again for extremely detrimental mistakes and vow breaking!!! they always want to say I don’t know when you ask them questions on how to solve things and then they try to get out of the situation rather than solve it I guess they want to be miserable too 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hate marriage I would rather be alone taking care of my son because I’m basically doing that now in a crap Marriage that isn’t a partnership because the other person doesn’t put any effort into it at all Oh and I forgot they also blame you for when they mistreat you unbelievable
Comment from : ThePrincessdi77

We r fine most of the time But when we argue, my husband does everything he can to annoy me and get me to start fight Then immediately he blames me of infidelity All these years(20) i didn’t know why i would get beaten up by him Now I know his tricks, i have 2 boys 18 and 15 18 yr old is in college and am just waiting for the 15 yr old to graduate from high school I need a plan to just walk away from him After i have put all his tricks together, I just fee l bad for letting him annoy me and trigger me and blame me of sleeping with other men and women That triggers me and without my knowledge i go into defensive mode and he physically attacks me I have many broken bones and just last week he sprayed bath tub cleaner in my eyes which has left my eyes blurry After these many years only now did i sit down and figure how he is able to trigger me and hurt me When he becomes angry he turns a monster and later pretends like he doesn’t remember what he did I am just so tired and done

Is this a christian counseling channel?
Comment from : Doug N

excellent advice, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Comment from : Joann Vannek

Straight up guys Don't get married It's all risk with very little upside The family courts will eat you alive
Comment from : Redness 19

I completely agree with you but I don’t even think divorce should exist You get married with someone and it should be till death do us apart Of course some people can be jerks and those that are towards their spouses mean that those relationships shouldn’t work but I feel the ideal is always to avoid divorce to the death
Comment from : Acdragonrider

To me divorce is the most selfish thing you can do to children
Comment from : Acdragonrider

Of course it’s better That shouldn’t even be asked unless the person is in denial What do you mean by understand marriage? Marriage is taking two individual people-two people with different backgrounds, experiences, ideas, desires, etc etc and we are expecting them to become one and everything is going to work out That’s not reality
