      Chief if someone sleeps around there is no way that person can build a home, you are simply lying, its not all about trusting and apeasing someone who lies. why stay in a relationship that you cant keep with, if you cant talk, it means this is not yours that is suicide.

      So, the anger that is a "natural" response must be the thing we fight, not the lies. Otherwise we become self-made victims of our own mind.

    My husband is a near perfect husband so kind and attentive but his lies from small to large have really destroyed me. I like this video. I can't change him or get him to realize his lies affect people but I can just love him and not let it affect my marriage and mental health as much as I have been.

      When he starts to lie, I interrupt him and change the subject in a nice way without it being obvious. It stops him in his tracks and I think we both feel relieved, me because I don't have to resent him after hearing the lying and him for not having to keep remember the lie or feel guilty about telling it, if he even is aware.

      @@writeousrhema sorry, i just saw this today. But the lies can range from what he ate or didn't eat for lunch to making up some crazy story at work to make himself seem important. I think he lies to avoid guilt, shame, or embarrassment and perhaps some lies are to gain sympathy. Which is crazy becauase I am the least judgemental person and I've told him that plenty of times that if you make a mistake we can learn from it and I will get over it rather quickly but if you make a mistake and lie about it well, it's double whammy and now I don't trust or feel safe and secure with you. So I try to take what he says with a grain of salt. Sometimes, its hard to believe him when he says he loves me so I remind myself to look at his other actions like how attentive, kind, and thoughtful he is.

    I’m really struggling to understand how all this works. I read the Lessons for a Happy Marriage and watched these videos but don’t see how one person can make a difference in a relationship.
    What I get out of all this is be loving and nice no matter what. Don’t engage in anything negative and don’t talk about anything that’s bothering you. Basically suck it up, which is what I feel I’ve been doing for 36 years. I’ve actually implemented a lot of this in my marriage just to try and maintain some sanity. But it hasn’t worked for me or our marriage. It’s like putting a bandaid on a gushing wound that never heals. We barely exist together.

    • @TheMarriageFoundation
      @TheMarriageFoundation  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I am glad you brought this up because too many people get only part of the idea of what marriage is supposed to be but its because we are so saturated with worldly ideas about love that we end up missing the point...it is NOT about sucking anything up, at all. It is about becoming your true self, you the soul, who is all love and light, not having to suck up, but to lift yourself up to that plane of love...called by One, "Holy indifference". Keeping the mind locked into alignment with your true self, beyond expectations. This is the focus of the courses whereas the books are about what it "looks" like and so you need to go deeper.

      Calling someone out on anything is rude so one must be very sure there is a great reason especially in a marriage. And, trust is not a key factor in marriage, love is the key factor. Trust is only the mind's assessment.

      ​@@TheMarriageFoundation trust is important. I can no longer trust my husband because he lies about everything and therefore have to call him out to get to the bottom of things. He almost got our house foreclosed on, tanked our credit, and more because I never called him out on anything, he thought he could get away with anything and everything. I'm pretty much a naive idiot. Now I constantly keep calling him out and find out something new all the time. Things that if he had been honest about it in the first place, wouldn't have crashed and burned. Now I take care of everything. Including the stuff I did before. And he can play video games and sleep all day like he's always wanted and have always done. That's the kind of love I should have right? I'll do everything, he does nothing. I'm also going back to school, will work full time while working from home and taking care of a new 2nd baby. And he is about to lose his job because of more lies he's told. Sounds like a plan. Whatever.

    My wife is lying to everyone about me: fellow parishioners, her friends, pediatrician, etc. For example, recently she was abusive for two whole days (insulting me, rubbing my nose in childhood trauma, false accusations, assuming false motives, and name calling), then when I bark back a couple of insults after two days, she posts social media and such that I just suddenly said such things - leaving out her abusiveness.

      I recommend everyone watch the movie Love Dare with Kirk Cameron. Whether you believe or not, to actually Love the way Jesus Loved, He looked at the PERSON Without the Sin, He separated the two. He saw people as Forgiven and without flaw. Try to look past the flaws, which we all have (let us not be hypocrite's - we all have 'em.) Love the person, not the negative behavior's. Focus on their attributes, and when you love without condition, you will see the love grow in them by your example. It is not easy! It works though, and it's what has helped me to help up my husband. Please don't focus on their negatives, edify them with the positives! And when you really can't take it anymore, just step away silently and do something for you to bring you joy - a positive! Nothing hurtful, spiteful, or vindictive. Then with a clear mind, return back to your husband with that unconditional mindset! Paul is right, we are all seeking and marrying for that unconditional, undying love, that you absolutely can have with understanding, love, and patience!! God Bless you Paul for the call you're carrying out in your life! Continue in your diligence and thank you.
