How can I join

Hi

Husband or wife

“There is no such thing as love without equal freedom.” Well, that says it all! That one sentence completely destroys the American Christian’s Church false gospel of Patriarchy and the subjugation of women. This is the BIG lie that destroys relationships and gives men the justification to abuse women. Only, men do not see it as abuse, but they’re right as men given by God. That is why I call it a “false gospel” and one that men enjoy so much because it gives them control and feeds their pride and ego. I’m quite sick of it.

You've given me hope and encouragement. I'll be 60 on Christmas. "I've matured most in my 60s" Guess I'm not as far off as I feel.

Hello I signed up with my email in the Sumer to join but never received any response. I also joined waiting list again this morning but no confirmation email was sent. Please let me know how I can sign up. Thank you.

Women don’t have wet dreams. Why does God help men but not women?

It’s gut wrenching when you tell them no multiple times , you are on sleep meds and they still do it

It makes abusive men and women weaker.

Thank God Leslie for this topic. I was in an abusive marriage for 30 years. He hurt Me emotionally and physically/sexually daily. I would tell him that he was hurting Me and he laughed at Me. He had a porn addiction, alcoholic and drugs. He was not the man I married very soon after. I was unhappy but nobody understood what was happening behind closed doors. He promised Me a child that I dreamed of My entire life. Two years into the marriage he said No. He told Me I could leave, but at the time, I was raising his daughter who was only 7. I couldn't leave her like her birth mother did. So I stayed and I can't forgive Myself. I came to Christ just 3 years ago, I always believed, but hadn't found My Church family. I finally found it. And God opened My eyes to the abuse. I sought counsel with My Pastor several times and He assured Me God didn't want Me to endure the abuse. I'm now divorced and I'm finally feeling peace. I always felt I was coming home to Satan. My Ex was not a believer. That wasn't the problem. It was his abuse and he was as I discovered a narcissist. I had no idea before he left. I'm in Divorce Care at Church and it's been a year of finding Myself Again! I am a child of God and My body is a Temple of God. My husband never treated My body as the Temple it is of God. I have a lot of healing to do before I even consider a relationship. I'm 62 and I am not in a rush and My new man if God puts him in My life will have to love Jesus as much as I do. I know at My age, anyone I meet is going to have baggage just as I do. But, with God's grace and love it's possible. I'm looking forward to your Conference in Redding CA in October! See you then and Thank you for everything you do for Us. God Bless you Leslie. ❤ 🙌 ✝️

Thank you for this conversation.

The definition of deception is so broad that it does not seem to capture the deeply personal essence of robbing one's spouse of affirmative consent. The definition of marital rape, on the other hand, is specific and does not seem to apply either. I wish there was an in-between term that described this special kind of intimate betrayal.

Ah the sin of wanting sex more than once a day😂 .man has to do his duties all day but not the wife. The Bible Literally said for her breasts to satisfy always but it's not literally right? Only the prayer part is literal when it says pray always. We just pick n choose. No one will die with no sex if your alone but the marriage WILL die in marriage context

Meanwhile... 1st Peter 3:1 "Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,"

Julie's incredulity about Leslie's clearly correct indication that wives shouldn't fake orgasm to "please" their husband was appalling to me. What kind of weak man would be created if he needed to hear lies to be happy?

Thankyou for this conversation. I was brought up not to talk about sex. Not in a Christian household and it’s just my parents didn’t have the skills. After talking with friends - again not Christian. So many friends are dis-satisfied but don’t talk about it with their partners….It’s taboo. The white elephant in the room. So they avoid sex by using covert tactics. What you said about women that hold back affection bc the husband automatically thinks sex is on the table is so true! And even when women say, “hey, a cuddle doesn’t mean I want sex.” They often don’t “hear”. So much immaturity around hurt egos and selfish needs. This is such an important topic, Thankyou ladies and God bless you ❤

Yes ahmein

But the bible says to obey your husband, I don't quite unterstand. Submission , longsuffering should be christlike, not standing up for ourselves. I have the feeling we get encouraged to divorce when it gets hart.

My covenant was with God and my husband. The only one who says (after 54 yrs) he never knew what covenant really was is my husband. Years of Infidelity but after all these years suddenly had a miracle enlightening and is now “free of his addiction” and announced he is leaving our common faith for Catholicism/orthodox…all in secret from me.

One thing that is never covered is when they won't show up for you personally. For you to address how something they said or did affected you to express your needs. To address things missing in the relationship like trust and safety and why. What if they're indifferent to all of your attempts to connect on any attempt to improve your marriage or your family. Basically the hard things are off limits. Compassion empathy, communication, just being validated as a person who deserves influence, are all just pleasantly dismissed. Totally good guy on paper. But will not show up emotionally or attempt to know you in order to build with you. Basically they just want to play house. That is the most invisible form of emotional neglect. When everything, for all intents and purposes appear fine. But any attempt at intimacy and connection that results in a family feeling safety trust and nurturing or bearing fruit are off limits. This isn't a guy who scared to make a date night. This is a guy who just doesn't show up for the thing that makes the relationship of marriage different than any other relationship. I feel this is an important one that is overlooked. Because it causes spiritual, mental and physical symptoms.

Wonderful conversation!! ❤❤❤❤

I saw there were some different people also asking when the next one is for a seminar or the free webinar I was also wondering how to get to watch the replay if I wasn’t able to do the last webinar And how to find out about possibly coaching support group I thought that’s what it was called when you mentioned there’s other places for help

Second one of these stories and no prayer, scripture...I'll check out another one to see if it changes.

It can be SO covert… as well.

It’s hard to control from being angry when someone knows your boundary and they intentionally crossover it and think quick on your feet to pause 😮

I am leaving 43 years of emotional and financial abuse. He uses me and my body. Breaks promises. I took him back last year, and here I am again. I have a great support system in place this time to keep me accountable. I feel so sorry for him and he knows how to pull on my soft heart. Ge has conditioned me since I was 14 years old. I am 61. Please pray for my grandson who lives with me. He is the big reason I keep going back. My grandson says "he never even speaks to you, why can't you just stay until I am 18. 2 more years. I have been raising kids since I was 19. My husband has left me to almist die 3 times. He left for meetings when I was bleeding out internally. When he got home and took me to the hospital, the ambulance rushed me to a bigger hospital, I coded twice. He didnt show up to the bigger hospital 3 hours later saying he had errands. The Dr. Thought I was indigent, he couldn't understand why I was alone when I had to have 4 pints of blood. And 2 other times same thing. He has financially ruined us when he is manic he spent 1.5 million on a farm that we lost. I didn't want to do it. You have helped me be strong enough to get out. I get my low income apartment in 2 days.

In Titus 2:5 we find that older Christian women will teach younger Christian women to be, "...self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." (reviled equals blasphemed).

Concerning "power" Jesus himself in the parable of the talents shares a master getting highly agitated at a servant over the misuse of a talent which is inconsistent with Leslie's take here. Like the word faith or woke movements Leslie isn't presenting the full council of God. Her usage of opressor/opressed is Marxism verbiage. Genesis 3:16 " Your desires shall be contrary to your husband",

Yes. Focus has been on him too long

How do you give over to god without detaching emotionally?

Sorry, the whole codependency theory was in-fact, made up to blame and control partners of addicts. That's the plain history of the term. Please research its origin.

I like to know when your next webinar is

What about a TBI?

Uses scripture to justify becoming self-centered and rely on their strength and not God.

Howdee Leslie 😊

Hi

Can someone tell me which one of Leslie's books she's referring to that has suggested steps in it for separating? Thank you so much

Hi I just found your channel, I would love to listen to the webinar . Is there a way to watch it?

A good topic would be respect. The last question was spot on….what does respect actually mean and how does it play out? I’ve heard the you disrespect me a lot and when asked what the specific context is nothing is provided.

What matters is finding the master of freedom who is I believe in a perfect person in his name above all names

Hard sometimes when the other friend ,does not listen or hear you. one sided?

Hi from Phoenix, AZ

Yes

Andrew Bowman??? How Not to be a Jerk, this book isn’t found under Bowman’s name.

I’m not even married. In a dating relationship but I learn so much from Leslie! She is a true gift!!

You interpret poorly. Marriage is a covenant for life and the Bible clearly says so. Romans 7:2-3. "For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. 3So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man". Your reasoning is against Gods word. Marriage is a covenant for life. God kept his love on for Israel even though they betrayed Him. In the next verse He says "Oh that you would return to me" because the covenant was "everlasting".

Gospel-Centered Divorce Good grief...

You interpret poorly. Porn is a deplorable act of unchastity. Take extreme measures to purge it. However, based on the same verse you are using, your logic would conclude that hate in our hearts would "maybe" justify life in prison for murder or the death sentence. The purpose of that verse is to point out our need for a savior. Using it to break families apart is disgusting. Do better.
