My parents were married almost 70 years before they passed. I asked them each individually what was the "SECRET" to the longevity. They BOTH said independently "I do my best to make (partner) happy". That being said I truly think most successful relationships are between NICE people. Too many couples are tit for tat and I do more and you do less mindset. The couple needs to be a TEAM and try to support one another any way they can. Ya gotta have HEART.

This is so true. The people in the partnership have to be nice to begin with, and also selfless. Too many people marry for the wrong reasons, and also maybe marriage is not for everyone , and that's ok. One size doesn't fit all, so people shouldn't cow tow to societal pressures to get married.

@@thebest12700 Cultures with the highest marriage success rates to this day are those that practice arranged marriages. Look it up. They focus on the utilitarian component of marriage. As such, when you fall in love you will also fall out of love, and a ring doesn't negate that part of evolutionary biology. Even during biblical times, women were viewed as property, There is not one example of a love based marriage in the bible. Heads up "conservative" thinkers! Here's a useful rule to embrace: "show me someone's past and I will tell you everything about their future". Infidelity has existed since the dawn of mankind and it won't change.

As a western woman I agree. I married a man from India and he has taught me so much. Self sacrifice is the correct position to take on marriage. You get married to give yourself to your partner, not take what they can give you. It’s actually more beautiful and connected that way. Not all the time, but usually I’m happy to share his life with him, and he motivates me to do my best for our family.

Good list. I would add: 7. Disinterest in spending time together I see that problem develop among many friends in relationships. One partner just gives up on trying to do relationship things and would rather hang with friends or act single without ending the relationship or trying to rekindle it into a healthy relationship where the couple wants to and enjoys spending time together.

We used to call the disconnection you discuss in the video "growing apart". Successful relationships require a conscious awareness, consideration and caring 24/7 of the other person ....... and it must be mutual. Both partners in the relationship must constantly and honestly ask themselves "what do I bring to this relationship" rather than "what am I getting out of this relationship". When only one partner asks themselves this question, the two people "disconnect" and the relationship ends.

Even if they argue or get into verbal fights, if you both can navigate and communicate well, it has way less of a chance to end badly

Every individual has different needs that’s for sure. I’m not so emotionally needy of others as most do not fill the void anyway due to lack of self awareness and empathy. My take is that many who lack clarity are in relationships seeking for others to fill their voids..and there is nothing innately wrong with that, but it starts to topple when they do not or cannot return the favor. No one wants to be sucked dry. The couples that find true balance between them are lucky…or hellbent on not breaking up😊

Everyone has tried to sanitize this simple truth by relabeling it as "narcissism" (the way they relabeled homelessness as unhoused 😂😂). The recategorization of language by the woke came about (in order to avoid assigning responsibility for the selfishness/lack of empathy) is the result of weak parenting since the 80s when former hippy/Marxists started having kids and stopped correcting kids for selfish behavior because of the cancer of collectivist ideology in which the individual is not held accountable for selfish behavior...rather, they are considered"victims" of circumstances/poverty. They adopted the victim myth in order the impose the collectivist solution: government/state (other people's assets stolen and redistributed).

I think it's a lot simpler than people make it out to be. People simply do not think long term about what a marriage entails, they think about the wedding, they think about the honey moon, but they don't actually think about what life with this person will be like 2, 5, 10 years from now, and I just honestly feel like a lot of people are not prepared for that kind of commitment to one person. They don't realize the physical attraction will fade or the amount of selflessness and work it takes to make a marriage successful. Add in how long people live and our societies ideals, marriage frankly isn't going to work for a lot of people.

With practice you get really good at this and eventually you'll even brainwash yourself, such that even you yourself will not be sure if it's true or not. All the lie you tell her to make her feel loved start becoming true in reality. By this point, you'll have a great marriage. The caveat is, you need to find someone who is worth this effort.

Average western woman has her first relationship at 15 and gets married at 30. If they want to and aren't obese they don't spend much time being single those 15 years. Modern women spend the first 15 years of adulthood in a perpetual state of butterflies and different honeymoon stages. We are then shocked when close to 80% of divorces are filed by women. 90 when they have a degree. To top it off women's media(romance novels and movies) also built a completely unrealistic expectation of relationships.

Another big part of the problem is the modern focus on the individual rather than the family. We're all conditioned to believe that we have to focus on ourselves first and everyone, including spouses and children, come second. Others are reduced to acting as mirrors to reflect the individual. In modern Western cultures, people tend to believe that the family exists to serve their interests, whereas in the past people believed that they existed to support, promote, and defend their family.

An easy way to diagnose this problem would be to look at statistics and see which party (men or women) tend to file for divorce most often. I just don’t see a lot of men wrecking their homes. The serial cheating husband seems to be more of a stereotype born of American sitcoms and Hollywood movies than it has any basis in reality. The simple solution is for men to stay unmarried until divorce courts are recalibrated in a way that doesn’t explicitly siphon their earnings off to a woman who decided she was bored one day.

80% of all divorces are initiated by women over "emotional disconnect" as their reasons. But women will stay in relationships with men who are abusive - even physically. So to women, emotional connection is more important than not being physically abused. Figure that one out. But the problem is that women are so instinctual that it's hard for men to connect with them emotionally. Women prioritize different instincts during different phases of their lives. That's why it's easy for men to connect with women when the woman's instinct is to lock down a man. The once she does, her instinct shifts to "make babies". Then it shifts to "be a mom" and then she projects all of her expectations of the man to be 100% on board with all of her spontaneous, uncommunicated instincts 100% of the time. This is why the disconnect happens. Because women want to control the entire relationship with their instincts.

Years go by, and she realizes that the grass on the other side is either dead or astroturf. She wants him back. He's moved on and is doing better, either by himself or with another woman. The real kicker is when you realize who ratted her out and/or who is now trying to put the moves on her single ex. Frenemies.

During an argument, you have to ask yourself “is this the hill I want to die on?” It’s not being the man. It’s being the lady, housewife and mother. It’s a rewarding job. It’s being best friends and lovers. I’ve been married for many years. It hasn’t all been a bed of roses. There are times I want to ring his neck but hey, I’m not perfect either.

I've been seeing a psychologist for close to 20 years to solve this. I was divorced years ago, of course half the responsibility was mine. Looking back, what I think was wrong was communication problems. I didn't tell him when I had problems with him, and minor things build into HUGE problems. Women get really mad after a while. He lost a job and didn't tell me about it for months, kept it secret and kept leaving the house as if he was going to work, but didn't get paid. He didn't communicate this to me, and that was a problem. So we both had communication issues. Also, I've been working on Dave Ramsey to work on my finances for several years. Just a couple of ideas for others.

You are still blaming him, that much is clear. Maybe there is a reason he didn't feel open to communicating to you. There are two sides to every story and while you say half the blame was yours, to me, its clear those are just words, you don't really believe that,

Most college educated women with a career and financial independence will not follow a man's lead. I've never seen so many single and divorced middle aged professional women in work environments in circles that I associate in. Seems like 70% of them.

Chaseing a partner that is « chaseing excitement», that is « new shiny object fallacy». Is going to lead to ruin/suffering. The « trophy partner» is one extreme. The other is the « replacement of parent mother/father issue». The correct green flag is to seek a healthy partner with a « stoic view» on life. That is they are practical and understand that life has it’s natural ups/downs, but that it’s important to stil grow and be in the « game of life». No matter what chaos/randomness life trows at us Keep walking. Keep fighting. And if your partner can’t handle life and turns to addictions or narcissism to cope. Then simply cut them lose. There is nothing to gain from a toxic partner. Take your time to heal then move on. And stay away from matches with « red flags» in the future. If it sounds to good to be true, then it most likely is a scam

There's an energetic shift on the planet. Our emotions can no longer be surpressed. Our inner truths can no longer be hidden and must surface to be healed. The same thing is happening externally. All of what you said are a consequence of this planetary shift. All of this will intensify.

I'm surprised he didn't at least reference elevated unrealistic and unreasonable expectations of marriage and what it actually is, for the vast majority of people. Contentment (I don't mean low standards) seems to be the common denominator in the best marriages I've seen.

I also think it’s high expectations, bad behavior, broken families, narcissism and government being involved in the house hold. Women who are in a man’s home is the agent of the state. Let me repeat this, your girlfriend, significant other, house wife or escort, whatever you want to call her. She is an Agent of the State. If she leaves her tooth brush, her underpants, her scarf, she can make a phone call and tell the court that she lives with him, er man. It doesn’t matter if the man just wants sex or have someone to talk to. She’s thinking about him being the boyfriend and husband and after 2 years she can have a case against the guy to get him kicked out of his house or apartment and say he hit her or whatever, even though she hit herself or fell down the stairs. She’ll get him kicked out of his house and live there and put on a show that they were together for a number of years while the guy is sitting in jail, lose his job and living out of his car and trying to get her out of his house and his life. That’s the new woman of 2020 who is literally a squatter and prositute and committing legalized felonies. If she gets pregnant then it becomes a real circus.

Yea, that’s not all of it but you are on the right track! When she takes you to court for child support or divorce she is an agent for the state in legal terms. Your family law Atty knows this and will never tell you the real nature of family court. It’s a for profit business and they are all in on it together including your lawyer!

Are you talking about common law marriage? because that’s only in certain states. If a woman is leaving things just tell her to take it with her or drop it off to her. Ain’t no moving in from the jump. Legally they aren’t entitled unless she signed the lease or mortgage with you or it’s a common law state and 2-3 years of her living there, or whatever the timeframe for that specific state is.
