      Love the new lighting and depth of field. I love listening to this guy and have seem him multiple times. In a way it seems strange because I am still deeply in love with my wife after 27 years together. It is a multicultural marriage with a 20 year age gap but if anything it has gotten better over the years. Perhaps it is because I pay attention to the things he talks about and continue to hone my relationship skills despite being together for so long.

      Profound? When something sounds good but lacks in logic it is often referred to as sophistry. Another term that can be used is 'specious reasoning', which refers to statements that appear plausible on the surface but are actually flawed - in this see case his actions or inactions in this regard bely his truths.

    Interesting video content, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

      Not sure you've picked up on it yet, but a woman's love is utilitarian. She'll will never love you for who you are. Only for what you can do for her; how you make her feel. It appears your utility in her life has come to and end. Once you grasp this concept you'll understand the meaning of "You can love them, or you can understand them. But you cannot do both."

I would like to thank you for showing men who wear their vulnerability and emotion as a badge of honour. This takes true courage and they are incredible role model for young men who can witness what real masculinity is all about.

      This man is a parasite. Divorce lawyers of his type are about the assassination of the other party.....he never once spoke about fallout about children and his responsibility to suitably balanced post split. It's a win at all costs.... hence protracted, expensive and exhausting for both parties. I wonder if he thinks about the 4 deaths on the other side. It was glossed over. What about his work in hospice? I expect behind the tears over dogs and marital lessons learned he's probably somewhat troubled.

    That point about dad never saying he loved you hit home for me. My Indian dad is not particularly affectionate with words but growing up we moved a lot and he would always choose the place with the best school districts, one time having a 2 hour commute to work each way to ensure my sister and I had the best education. When we hit financial struggles, My parents forewent all their vacations for 15 years to pay for our college and told us they expect us to pay it forward for our children. Dad has never said ‘i love you’ but he doesn’t need to! His actions are so loud. I’ve had friends lecture me about how parents HAVE to say it and I found this condescending and annoying. Just because it happens to you doesn’t mean this is how everyone expresses love

      Also the reason why Indian community has less divorce rates than most countries. It’s changing to worse year over year due to western influence. At least so far, Asian parents would pay for their children’s education with blood and kidneys if they have to (in sprite). Better than expecting unskilled uneducated 18 year old to take a huge loan and ask them to clear it or ask rest of the society to take burden of it.

      I had to STOP the video to cry, make tea, ponder, cry, savor and survive the truth of that one sentence, "I have an infinite capacity for love, no matter what I lose." I had to sit and allow the healing, the washing-clean, pouring light transmission directly from the Heart of God through my Soul;
      I lost my mom at 5,
      my dad at 11,
      my mind at 16,
      my hope at 19,
      my homes, every year, all my life, always moving on,
      seeking what love could do to heal my heart and shine through me, in a healthy way,
      my adoptive father at 52, (to porn, heart attack; true, it is a thing, he was 64), + 3 months later, ...
      my lil 27-yr.-o. Sis (to Heroin + flesh-eating bacteria someone shot her up into a hole due to that; true; frightening),at 52,
      my adoptive mom at 56,
      my family home of 51 years at 59,
      my willingness to accept any traces of abuse and disrespect at 50.
      I am now 60. I leave a wake of shock behind me, as I address any lack of loving, because I know what love is, and I carry and share it freely. I deserve and accept nothing less. I had no idea what respect was until Ger Lyons (gerlyons.net) helped me heal all my confusion, in 14 years of training in Celtic Mysticism;
      Ger Lyons Global Healing Events.
      (He's Irish, and he knows.)
      I am so grateful for this sharing.
      The wisdom, the profound truths, the laughs that were equally healing, the sweetness of the truth about Love from a man who has seen marriage fail solely due to the failure of loving, never of Love, this is everything.
      I am bowing to this exchange.
      You both are making the world a better place.
      I have already Subscribed.
      Love has never failed.

    I love how he stepped back and addressed the term "gold digger", which is used to shame women. Men say "of course an older man with a fortune is entitled to a young woman", well that woman offers service with value in the dating marketplace, why is she always expected to give everything for free. Add to that, her "value" in the marketplace supposedly depreciates with time. Again, why should she give her best years to some old dude for free? If the roles were reversed the men would say "it's only logical" and anyone giving resources up for free is an "emotional loser."

      Look, men don't like "gold diggers" because these women think logically and act like men's equals, expecting compensation for what they bring to the table.
      Men expecting everything from women for nothing is a big problem in todays society. They would not settle for such terms themselves but expect the women to do so. Most likely think of women as "emotional" and "inferior" because they have been able to manipulate the majority consistently into giving up resources for free using lies.

It has seriously brought so many things to light that have helped me in my 24 years married experience and the downfall it’s been on for the last 8 years. Yet, I find myself loyal to a fault. And as so many chose comfortability over the fear of the future, for now. The last of our three daughters graduated last year so no more saying I’m staying for the kids. My husband and I have a lot of work to do. And now that he’s physically handicapped and will soon lose his left leg to the knee, I feel enough love for him to stay and take care of him, for now. He’s always been the strong one in the relationship and now it’s my turn to give him that grace and forgiveness. For him and myself. ❤

But we both find each other really smart and genuinely love hearing how the other one thinks, even if we think about the topic in a different way. I’ve never felt judged for my beliefs with him. I’ve never judged him for his beliefs. I love hearing a new, well thought out perspective from my husband. It’d be so boring if we thought the same way about everything.

At one point his parents asked me, "Why are you with him when he did this" (it was a minor legal infraction (weed). I looked at them across the table and listed 10 great qualities in their son and the last thing I said was "and... I love your son; through good and bad/thick and thin... no matter what." Their rebuttal was, "And what would your father think of this?" And I laughed and laughed and I said, "He would laugh... if you don't believe me call him up and ask him" We are still together... 18+ yrs and still going. ❤❤ I have no plans of ever finding another because no one can compare to him. ❤

    Also when women are working less they are expected to keep the house. When she becomes the major bread winner she gets a resentment because the husband doesn't pick up on the house/kid duties because he thinks it's beneath him.

We never scolded each other nor did we get abusive or cheat. We did yell at times of course and slammed the door harder than neccesary. And now in our "old" age, still being together, we enjoy each others company, accepting our differences because the memory of the past was not ruined by abusive behavior. I am glad we overcame those times because althoug I do not believe in the concept of "a" soulmate, I do feel he and I are now soulmates.

      I think this is what is missing from a lot of modern marriages - the tenacity to work through conflict, and conflict that can last YEARS! I’m not talking about cheating or abuse obviously. I was lucky enough to have a 10 year relationship throughout my 20s and although it ended when I turned 32… I had enough perspective to know that there were years where we weren’t getting along.. and then years that we were as close as anything. The perspective to see that a rough patch does not mean failure all the time. I’m so glad you got to find your soulmate.

      This episode was insightful. But one question remains, sure many people need sex but what happens when there's just no way to make time (in between financial & health crisises or kids, lack of privacy , hormonal changes, responsibilities,just living life and doing other better things together and more) just because you're not having sex it's not just being a roommate Because a roommate wouldn't do all the things that a spouse (regardless of gender) does for you "from earning money,taking care of kids,sharing chores, supporting each other in hard times like health/financial issues and more) even without the sex.
      - So are people just supposed to ditch their spouses because of changes in their libido?
      Because as people get older while some people keep the sex life, others are happy without the sex life too (I've asked people that are fine being romantic but not necessarily having sex for years), and only thing that annoys some of those couples is that people think they can't be happy without sex so they end up feeling forced to question if something is really wrong with them. There are also asexuals. Imo main question people should ask before marriage even before pre-nups is how important is sex to them and what happens when changes happen.

It’s even worse as you get older and start to change (because we all do in some way). The picture we have in our head doesn’t fit this “new” person and instead of understanding where the changes come from we fight and try to claw the person back wether we actually liked them or not. Every year I ask my husband what kind of cake he would like for his birthday. I know he likes a certain kind but tastes change and he might have had a new flavor he now prefers over what I had gotten him before. A good example his mom made him a lemon cake every year for his birthday because she was convinced it was his favorite (which it had been in childhood). He told me his favorite was chocolate. So I got him a chocolate cake. It was a few more years in and I finally told his mom his current favorite and she was shocked. Why? Because he was no longer fitting the image she had of him in her head.

      You’re 100% correct. Empathy is the doorway to fixing many problems. It’s the antidote to criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling and contempt (the 4 horsemen of relationships). Humans are complicated, we tend to get lost and drown in negative emotions..when those negative emotions linger too long it causes dissonance between two people who love each other and convinces them that they don’t.

      I have to respectfully disagree. At least in my marriage I didn't idealize I truly believed he was whom he pretended to be for 5 years before we married. Together 3yrs before engagement married 2 yrs after that. It was absolutely wonderful. We talked about everything and made all kinds of decisions and plans about what we wanted our marriage to be. Within months after the wedding I didn't recognize him or his behavior, so in the tradition we'd established I tried talking lovingly to him about it. I was flabbergasted when he admitted he said all of those prior things to convince me to marry him, But now that we're married I have to accept him for who he truly is. I said but if you're not the person I fell in love with why would you think it's ok to be someone totally different. He tried convincing me he didn't mean it the way it came out and i guess I rationalized how he could be wonderful for 5 years, maybe he was just stressed. I definitely had the newlywed blues and doubted myself. So I developed OCD trying to constantly make sure everything was perfect at home, that I was doing everything right exactly as we'd agreed it would be. The perfect working wife. Slowly it became evident that standards, boundaries, requirements, only applied to me but as the man of the home he could do whatever he wanted. I met countless versions of him most frequently, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I was always off balance, traumatized, exhausted and criticized. 21.5 years later, kids are gone I can't do the tornado any longer

      Why do you need to hold 2 people together when they fall out of love?
      By love, do you mean the butterflies of the first couple of months? Or is it something more? If it's the latter then you're not supposed to fall out of love, but understand that with time love changes, and stay there regardless of the change. But if you fall out of love? Why stay?
      Inpulsive people will act impulsively in most cases, thinking people will think it thoroughly either way. It's about the kind of person you and your partner are, and the importance of thr relationship to you, not some paper that says you are together..

      @@Rev3rence I think you answered your own question, "with time love changes". What I meant by the quote is that a marriage contract gives you pause to stop, think, and work on what you have had together. It gives more incentive to do this. Without it, impulse is much more likely. This does not mean it's a prison or you can never get a divorce. Another thing, just to mention, marriage gives you the right to make medical decisions for your partner, should you need to; plus property rights.

This has definitely given me a total different outlook on love, life and it has also shown me how much I take things and people in my life for granted by simply assuming that there's always tomorrow. When in reality there really may not be a tomorrow.😪 Phenomenal conversation! Thank You!🔥❤

    What a touching and informative conversation. Not exactly what I expected but totally appreciated. I cried too. Been married 42 years, happily. Even so, I miss the feeling that new love brings. I also know how often I take my relationship for granted and need to renew the love I have within my marriage. Sometimes I think that if my husband predeceases me, THEN I will realize how much I loved him. But currently I don’t feel the love as intensely as I once did. And this conversation has helped me feel the desire to get a bit of those feelings back before one of us no longer exists. Thanks. Well done interview. ❤

    Damn, that was good. I didn't want to pause it, so I had to watch it in one go. Each interview is also a huge time commitment to watch. And I come away from most of your interviews with that impression. Perhaps one reason many people watch and enjoy this channel but don't subscribe is because we worry that doing so is likely to result in an increase frequency of watching your interviews and thus an even greater use of our time... Part of what makes your interviews so great is also what makes them a huge time commitment for those who watch. It's an internal struggle.
