    Thank you. Today was a trying day for me. This video played in perfect timing. I applied everything in this video to my test I was given for the day. I had inside issues I needed to deal with while my husband was at work. At the end when it was time to talk to my husband I went about it according to you and got rewarded instantly. Your wisdom and knowledge and understanding has spoke to me spiritually and helped me physically and mentally. I look forward to learning more about marriage!

    Thank you for this . I needed this . 13 years of marriage i wish i found you sooner. My father and mother were married 60 years ,they fought like cats and dogs 60 years .they were so judgemental. i put off marriage till late in life but to someone i met and loved instantly at 16 years old. I was afraid to marry for good reason . I did so many things wrong ,i wish i could do the last 13 years over. Hopefully we will have 13 more to fix the things we did wrong. Holy Moly ,such simple great advice!!

    @@TheMarriageFoundation i actually started the course for women as a desperate attempt to save my marriage but my husband is already decided to leave. We live in the same roof (for now) but separate rooms that's because i don't want to leave even though he was kicking me out with all his might. And he tries so hard to strengthen the walls between us. Sure i did not know how to be married but I still blame myself because i didn't listen to his needs. I didn't let them guide me. I've heard him over and over but didn't make positive moves. Now he's fed up, about to file for divorce and i'm feeling hopeless. It's very dark right now. Thank you Sir for responding.

    Think about the momentum that took you to where he wants so much to leave. Now, with the course you are putting on the brakes, which is a start. The process you are using with the SEW and using it to open your heart WILL work. Sometimes we have seen it take a year or more, but the process does work. It is cause and effect. So, keep opening your heart, keep diving into yourself, the soul, keep praying. And, keep on keeping on. There is nothing better you can do.

    WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!, WHAT????? I do not ever imply he is lying. But when he does and I have the facts to show it, I call him out on the lies he tells. What I have told him is that this behavior seriously reduces my trust and it’s hard for me to believe he is NOT lying sometimes. Lying and cover-ups have damaged our relationship. This seems to be an automatic, go-to behavior for self preservation, and it’s better, but not stopped. What now???

    I'm going through the same thing. I have found that confronting him isn't helping me or our marriage. I have photos, text messages, etc. I think there are at least four "girlfriends" over the past 7 years. I have realized that if I don't let this go and try to turn the marriage around through my behavior then I will end up divorced. I'm reading "Lessons for a Happy Marriage" and applying it. It can't hurt. My confrontations are hurting my marriage. I'm not going to get an apology which is what I want.

    Anime has a lot of lessons in the story line. Just a suggestion- find one anime show that you can try to like. Invite him to watch it with you. Ask your kids which one your husband likes. Why does he like it? Why is he drawn to that story line? If you watch it with him, he might be so curious about your new interest, that he'll be interested in YOU. Then he may want to try some things you'd like to do. But if you continue to see him as a child, he'll keep playing the part. Try not to keep him "beneath" you. I know it sounds like a silly thing to do, but if he's important to you, make the connection. Just a suggestion.

    Here again, appreciate your comments and agree men are just “different” when parenting their children. But…. I was a loving, reasonable mom. Taught my kids how to problem-solve, think for themselves and that there were rules and expectations in our household. When a child disobeyed, talked-back, was disrespectful, there were consequences. My problem was he never backed up my discipline which was usually pretty lenient, actually(go to your room, sit in the time out chair and think about your behavior, vacuum the living room - you’re not supposed to eat in there, oops, no TV tomorrow because you haven’t finished your homework today). He undercut me, my daughters saw this. Made life hard for me as the primary parent!!! He wouldn’t make changes despite our discussions together.

    I agree, if one parent has much more interaction (time) and by necessity does more of the corrections and is more responsible for the safety ! of the children and that there is no bullying between siblings - he or she IS the "primary parent" or "main caregiver" or whatever term one wants to use for that. (I think primary caregiver is the better term). If she stays at home and he holds a paid job he will be called the breadwinner. The husband should be eager to get on the same page as her, respecting her (larger) share of the carework. And why should she agree with his rules when she has many more interactions and experience (regarding discipline and daily life) with the kids. It does not sound like this father has even botherd to come up with well defined rules for the household, nor did he develop a habit of demanding compliance whenever the kids test them. And he is not willing to embrace the necessity to have and follow rules in a household, not even after discussions. This borders on being lazy, stubborn and childish. He does his family, wife and children a disservice. Children need predictability. + lesliemontagne is not even extreme with her demands or the "consequences" (neither extremely harsh, nor super lenient) so she bothered to figure out a system, and likely would be open if he wanted to make some changes. Sounds like the husband does not agree with having consistent rules for the kids / the household. Children will watch that and they will see that the mother tries to find and enforces rules that make sense, and that are beneficial for the whole family and that avoid unncessary work for the wife (like messing up the living room or car when the kids are not supposed to eat there. It goes without saying that the husband also should not eat there to be a good role model.) The lessons for the kids would be: How to have a nice home, how to feel responsible for having a nice home, eating the meals together and no endless snacking all over the place, and how to be considerate of the reasonable wishes of family members). Children will naturally test such inconvenient rules, inconvenient for them. Testing the rules is their job and they will find out soon that one parent actually derails the efforts of the other. Or at least does not think they are important. That is something that children will pick up immediately and it will encourage them to think what the mother asks them to do (or not to do) is not important. It is an effort to consistenly enforce those rules in a mild but firm and predictable way. Being lenient and inconsequent would be much easier. Why should that weight only be carried by ONE of the parents. When the father is present (less time than her) he can help or derail her efforts, his 20 or 30 % input can make that so much easier - or harder. I do not think the father is so gracious - he just does not have the diligence and commitment to do the work. Or the maturity to see the long term benefits of teaching kids good habits (even if that is another tedious chore of the parents). Versus, the kids going: nah I can weasel my way out of compliance, mum is the spoil-sport, but dad is cool and he does not care. And then there are the parents (mothers of fathers) who want to be the cool laid back parents and the (thankless and sometimes exhausting / annoying) role as disciplinarian falls to the other parent. Plus that it would be much easier to instill certain rules and norms if both parents help to establish them (whenever they are present). If one parent is usually more lenient it encourages the kids to seek for backdoors. So it slows down the learning process, the aquiring of the good habit, because at the beginning there will be usually the attempt to circumvent - else the kids would just do what is good and necessary - and be done with it.

    Why am I not allowed to be angry if he is allowed to be angry at me or with me or blame me for his anger? First of all, that doesn’t feel fair. I understand that anger is damaging to the harmony of a marriage, but it’s frustrating to say “just cut it out” when I’m supposed to just sit back and take his attitude problems? I would love to rise above all of that, but I don’t see how it is possible.

    We were not taught about anger because Western psych has it all wrong when it comes to emotions. Anger is an "outsider" to the true us, souls. We have free will and must never allow anger to take over our mind, our lives, or our marriages. Anger can be eliminated, not just managed or stuffed. It is one of the great truths I discovered and everyone should be receptive to the idea of eliminating anger.
