BEST OF 2020: Combating the Lies That Can Destroy Your Marriage - Dr. Greg Smalley & Dr. Bob Paul
Our culture promotes relationship myths and fairy-tale expectations, and these lies are affecting your marriage! On this two-day Focus on the Family broadcast, Dr Greg Smalley and Bob Paul bring hope and healing to married couples by exposing the truth behind these Love Lies. These lies include: living “happily ever after”, losing your individuality after marriage, relying solely on love, sacrificing who you are, meeting each other’s needs, irreconcilable differences, working hard to earn your spouse’s love, trying to “fix” your spouse, and compromise. While each lie contains some kernel of truth, Greg and Bob breakdown the myths to explain God’s design for marriage.

I like the idea of looking at marriage as a journey instead of a constant quest for happiness. It is nice to hear this coming from men.😊

Glad to hear that… I just pushed play.
Thank you so much for what you do for those who really need help to learn how to become more like Jesus in our marriages
This is one of the BEST marriage programs I’ve ever seen 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽! No more unity candles 🕯 blown out at weddings!
Great insights! The points resonates with my personal situation. I am relieved that I am not the only one who gets stressed during our family vacation. My husband‘s idea of vacation is different than mine 😊.
The problem of focus on the traditional "becoming one" is that one day, one of us is gonna die, leaving the other behind... each person must have their own identity to live on. Ultimately, The Lord is the real focus and He is at the end of it all.
I love this broadcast!! Ty Jesus
Thank you so very much,focus on the family,my name is Lorraine and I'm listening from South Africa,
Thank you for adding the humor to the “owner places”! It’s like the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down! After laughing my way thru Mr. Paul’s description of he and his wife on vacation- ( because it is SO us!!) 😂 now we’re just gonna have to tackle some “owned” and listen to this podcast... together. Thank you.
Didn't Eve blame the enemy/serpent ("the serpent deceived me, but I ate") ? And ... Adam blamed Eve? Maybe take responsibility, listen to what The Lord tells us to do in His Word and do it? Blaming the enemy gives him too much power! Greater is HE, Our Father which art in heaven ♥. Absolutely ask the Lord ..."To see with His eyes and feel with His heart. AND it will be there in abundance."!!
Very Interesting Practical Insights to pushing beyond 20 years. Thank you Lord for FOCUS ON THE FAMILY Platform and to the Teams for moving in Obedience!
Great topic, so many key points in this discussion. Keeping this in my library.👍
This interview was fantastic! So much insight and wisdom. Thank you for sharing!
So very true! Thank you for setting us straight!
Man these guys are the experts
I m so blessed to hear so many life experience about Marriage.
Great insights! Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge. Blessings.
Great godly knowledge
Become 1, we are individuals and will always be. When we marry we support, respect, protect, honor, forgive AND LOVE each other. We put "our" marriages as a priority as 1 unit therefore we become "one".
I love that 💡 idea! Day on day off
This series focusing on couples are very inspiring and helpful. But I'd suggest to also include singles in the Family! Maybe interviews with singles and how they build up His family!

Absolutely! Start discussing this before going into relationship and marriage👍
Thnku so much this has been really insightful 🙏
What do you do when you’ve lost the fight you’ve been fighting for ??? Realize I’ve been all wrong. Admit I can’t and He can and ask Him how I can be a better husband
Hi I need to be able to translate this video into Portuguese for my wife.
Is there one in Ga ? Contact info ?

They have no idea what narcissists are and blindly convince people to stay in the horrible abuse, causing horrible emotional and Spiritual abuse. 😢🙏🏼😢🙏🏼😢🙏🏼 You are not healthier when you are told there is hope when there is not.
Interesting how the Dr sound a bit like John Piper.

It's eerie
Literally NONE of this advice works, and is actually counter productive, when any type of abuse is present. Abuse in “Christian marriage” is RAMPANT and a major reason is because organizations like this will not look at the reality that many women of faith are dealing with. FOF advice puts the responsibility to FIX the marriage on the wife instead of holding the ABUSER accountable. SOMETIMES IT IS ONE OF THE SPOUSES. I took it for 32 years. Been out 3 years and just now feeling whole and at peace.

I listened to the entire broadcast and didn't hear anyone in the discussion suggest that the onus for marital success rests with the wife. In fact, at 23:30, Dr. Paul stated that it's NOT his wife's responsibility to meet all of his needs. Could you be more specific? Blessings.

Professional victimhood and blame will not serve you my friend. Get back to the Bible and out of your ego

You are correct. If abuse is present in the relationship the spouse, wether it be the man or woman must get out for one's safety. The focus is on how to improve an already commited and healthy relationship. Abuse is at a very unsafe and unhealthy level and needs a different approach. Wishing you further strength and peace. 🙏🙏🙏

Yes, with abuse present this approach doesn't work. One person cannot make a relationship work by themselves. It requires 2 active participants. I believe this was addressed in the video.
Wow this was incredible! I’m impressed We need the retreat, hope restored really badly I love this advice and approach!!
