30 years he never told me I was beautiful to him, but he sure told me how he thought my friends were “hot” and countless other women idk who they were or are. My heart has been closed to him for a long time. He doesn’t really care tho he likes to see me suffer

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

You can turn this around by following an open-hearted and "change yourself" apprach. The idea of living with the pain is not a good one.

[@RoopaDudleyPaintings]

My husband and I have been married for 17 years. I became aware that something is just not right in our marriage a few years ago but could not put a finger on it. After listening to what you have to say - you have totally covered everything that has been on my mind. I still love my husband and am still attracted to him physically. However, I am willing to walk away if it comes to it (which may in a few months) because it is just not worth the trouble. I am not staying for the sake of our child, or religion, or financial reasons. I am staying because I have found the fortitude to leave whenever I want. This has given me the much-needed peace and calm.

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

you could use the courese for women and shhift everything in a very positive way

[@Radmxray]

I think you are very wise and kind. I left a comment on a previous video, not being unkind, but confused. This video seemed to give me more insight to your thoughts. We are souls that belong to God and the world tends to ignore this. I would like to add that stonewalling your wife ( and that can go both ways) is very destructive. Shutting down and not wanting to talk about issues. I think many men struggle with this, because as you said... women are connected to thier heart. I think men have a hard time with communication. They are conditioned to be strong and opening up is like a sign of weakness to them. In my experience anyway. Thank you for the content.❤

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

So nice of you,,, but, remember, it is never a good idea to speak about your relationship unless it is to express joy and love. Otherwise, no matter what is intended the discussions will go downhill. Learn to love unconditionally and live it, no need to talk about the mind's reactions. 🙏

[@hollikrebs]

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

The TMF Counselor course is a highlight of my life! The courses are extremely beneficial because they are linear and sequential. This alone provides clarity you won't quite get in the KZbin videos alone. And it's all life changing! Great work! Thank you! You have brought the light!

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

[@reidmonninger1110]

I would really like to hear from your personal experiences what went wrong in your first marriage and what you learned. I understand this is deeply personal however so I would understand if you didn’t want to share. It is nice knowing that you are human too and made mistakes in the past. I really appreciate your videos.

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

Its not a bad or intrusive question because I should be in a spectacular marriage now or my whole thing would be BS... My first marriage went wrong from the very beginning because neither of us knew what the heck we were doing. We only knew that we would not give up but that was not enough. Then, to make matters worse we went to traditional marriage counselors who were the "best" but had no idea about marriage either. Many were divorced, or in a bad marriage, too. The universal problem is that marriage is not considered a spiritual path so the rules of normal relationships don't apply and we are not taught this overriding truth. Nobody speaks of love the correct way and so there are no examples, no correct courses, nothing. If I had these teachings back then marriage would have been what it is supposed to be. But I didn't. Knowing that God is charge of virtually and litterally everything I think He set me up so eventually I would do what I am doing now, formulating marital teachings that are real and relevent. and universally applicable.

[@jeanmcknight-mt8em]

1. No anger demonstration 2. Don’t speak condescending to her 3. Don’t tell her she is wrong or make fun of her 4 Don’t reduce sex to a recreational get in done for you situation 5. Don’t look at other women,! In person or porn. # 1 I have never really thought about it but you are right. Being angry in front of her just stokes discomfort for her. # 4. reducing sex down to a competition to please yourself. Foreplay for most women is the real sex part. Thanks for the tips. Now if men can get this.

[@babygirlpink73]

Another one I have seem to have an issue with is.. And Ex Family Member a woman .. She Thrives on Sex, Filth and always thinking it's funny to act this way to my husband, I have had a sense that she tries to be closer to my husband in a very slight way.. I'm a woman I see it.. She is single.. She has no reason to even be a part of our family.. He does not think it's wrong to chat with her or even uses our Granddaughter to see her.. I have asked him so much to stop However , He gets so defensive if I ask.. She is only a part of us because my daughter married her brother They have divorced now.. am I wrong? I honestly what to know I am not embellishing this.. She is a single woman and he gets angry at me ?? Why ?

[@DianaKing-po2qj]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience with us. My husband and I have been married for 23 years. He is chronically late all the time. He does it in the most inconsiderate ways possible. It's been like this for many years but I'm 59! He's 55 and I don't know how much more I can take. Can you possibly offer some advice on this? I know he doesn't do it to hurt me but he knows how much I suffer from it and he doesn't seem to be making any changes. He's always had issues with punctuality in every area of his life. Can you help me with this subject?

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

One who expects perfection from another will never see their own flaws and remain suffering forever. Your marriage will improve when yyou work on your own flaws and love him even with his.

[@cherylmoschitto_outwardsilence]

The other night, once again, after many years of troubled waters, I tried to communicate my emotions with my husband of 19 years. He got so annoyed and aggravated and said, " if you want feelings/emotions go marry a lesbian" I was so hurt and that was just yet another kick while I was down 😢 He's been into porn for yearssss. We did do marriage counseling years ago and yes he's doing it again but says it's less than porn " it's only girls half naked on Instagram and KZbin" 🤦‍♀️ Then there's devaluing my feelings and that goes REALLY deep , too deep to explain on here. I understand and accept men and women are different but I don't understand and won't tolerate the disrespect anymore and the invalidation. I am also always put 2nd. I guess he forgot when he married me that I was supposed to come 1st I never have and that's my fault ,I have let it go and allowed it for so long.

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

Your email touched me and reminds me how terrible the usual guiidence is for us in the marriage world. I urge you to keep watching these videos, and also look through our website. You have a such a sensitive heart. Don't give up!

@@TheMarriageFoundation Thank you kindly for responding 🙂 It means a lot to me. I'm feeling pretty lost. I will keep watching. I have been listening and hearing you, you're extremely helpful, selfish, and graceful for all you do. Again, thank you and God bless you 🙏🏼

[@hollikrebs]

Dear Sir, Thank you for sharing what’s right but….. I believe the Porn and lusting after other women is no doubt #1. I have to tell you that women naturally being understanding of her husband’s faults can put up with and work with some mistreatment but the one thing that matters the most is the husband’s faithfulness and loyalty. She knows she is just one person who isn’t perfect but when he married her, he committed to loving her and loving her beauty and making her safe in their family by being true to her. And when he is true to her and turns away from unfaithful lust then he is pleasing God and blessing himself and in return he will be blessed by God. Unfaithfulness and even comparing her to other women is just twisted. Men need to be taught this and raised this way. We have a world that denies God and is full of corrupted lust. Once a husband turns to porn or lusting after other women, he has completely destroyed her heart and love for him. He has destroyed her femininity. This happened to me and it is devastating.

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

It is best to neither label nor condemn the man we chose to marry because you vowed to be loyal and your words are a long way from love and loyalty

[@antd2733]

I struggle with retroactive jealousy. Do you do private counseling over phone

[@marketingmatters1286]

The best way to deal with jealousy is to deeply love all your opponents. At the very least, it keeps the mind in a state of joy. TMF may have a different view.

[@TheMarriageFoundation]

I never deal with any one unwanted trait, but teach you to master the mind so that you, the owner of the mind, can rise above all of the unwated traits. I wish I had many bodies so I could gain offer private counseling but its just no longer possible. I suggest you review our offerings on the website. themarriagefoundation.org/

[@redhead8777]

DONT'S OF HUSBANDS: 1. Demonstrating anger towards her or around her (worst thing). Gender related, hormonal. Testosterone creates ability to be angry. Animalistic anger. Defender warrior makes anger necessary in order to defend your wife/family. Anger should be used in order to protect her not harm her. Wife will naturally retreat because of correct perception of anger being dangerous. Goal of marriage: be happy, feel love. Anger undermines the very purpose of marriage. Anger will close her heart. Don't roll eyes, sneer (even little cues can be perceived by her as anger). 2. Condescending. Men more apt to be condescending, acting cocky towards women from feelings of superiorty. Making fun of her. Sitcom behavior in marriage is not to be emulated. How you are should not be based on her reactions to things. Insulting? Women offer men a connection to their hearts, because this is not natural for men. Do not be condescending. Do not rape a woman with your mouth/words. Your natural tendencies as male & female should compliment each other. 3. Reduce sex to a thing beneath lovemaking with your wife. Sex in marriage is not recreational, it's spiritual. Her need is to connect spiritually with you. His need comes from the animalistic drive (biological). Need to deeply connect husband/wife in marital sex life. Devotion, secure. 4. Do not give attention on other women: porn, movies, strip clubs etc. Save your eyes for your wife only. 5. Do not criticize your wife. Even if you are right. Different perspective is not automatically right or wrong. Both can be right about a subject. Check your thinking. Actions come from thoughts. Control your mind. You cannot be Truly happy without mastering your (animalistic tendencies of the) male mind.
