Sincere and determined people need truthful information and a good plan to escape the cycle and hole you are in. Incredible marriages ARE possible. They are achieved by: 1. Learning about the mind and mastering it so your changes are permanent and you are always growing. 2. Learning how to behave, and not behave in marriage friendly ways 3. Making unconditional love and ever-expanding happiness your primary and constant mission. Go to themarriagefoundation.org and get the course if you need it. Now is not the time to experiment. It is the time for positive action.
Wow! Okay. I have a list of follow up questions from watching this video but I guess I ll just ask a two. 1. Is faithfulness in marriage for women only to uphold? Many women lost and are still losing their mental sanity and lives caused by STI and depression because of staying with a cheating husband. If your husband expects you to remain the same as the day you married, then he is the problem. I mean, even him fails to match the standards as years go by. That aside, 2. Isn’t it the role of a man to love, guide and protect his family no matter what, and not stray at a single sign of change in his wife’s mood, actions, etc. Women are constantly changing due to biological reasons- pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, etc. Otherwise all I heard from watching this is a woman being taught to tolerate and accept man flaws until he gets tired by loving him unconditionally when he cheats. 2. Have you put into consideration what doing just that will do to a woman mentally, emotionally and even physically? Have you forgotten that women are emotional beings by nature and that we can’t forget such kind of betrayal worse when it is reoccurring? I mean the foundation of her marriage scatters of a woman the moment she finds out that her husband has not been faithful, and to put the responsibility on her to glue the marriage together is asking too much from her. She is hurting as it is. Unconditional love should flow both ways. Cheaters never stop. They only get old, sick or broke and any woman who decides to stay in such a relationship should choose to do knowing this and not deceived to doing this and that to make him stop for she can’t change him. Only God can change a man. To the woman who have indicated that they want to give it a try, please come back here and share your success stories, - all things being equal. May God grant you sufficient grace and patience as you wait for the outcome.
You not only asked but you also conveyed ideas that have nothing to do with marriage. I don't bother with philosophy here, just showing a better path that leads to happy marriage...and what I discovered works! So, maybe you should test the course ofr women and see if it is as amazing as others think themarriagefoundation.org/reviews/
Do they love unconditionally in return? There are people that no matter what you do they will always be who they are. It is so hard to be in a relationship where you no longer who you are.
The whole purpose of learning to love unconditionally is "selfish" because it brings tremendous rewards, but not from others. It is the true self-fulfilment we all seek.
My husband keeps on cheating on me and everytime I forgive him and I take him back so easily. This time I wonder that maybe I should just leave because it felt like he just do what he wants because he can. He never felt the consequence of his actions. Im really confused. He knows I love him a lot but when do you set boundaries? How will he understand that what he was doing isnt ok and is deeply hurtful?
@@TheMarriageFoundation I've been reflecting on what you said for many months and it is only now that I am understanding the wisdom behind it. When you trust in God, in His timing and justice, there is no fear.
@@j4blaser Everyone has free will. Of course anyone is free to leave anything and anyone but she seemed like she was seeking help to stay . If she wanted to leave she wouldn't be seeking videos and asking questions. Most people and media would tell her to leave. She can find that advice anywhere. She seemed like she was seeking advice to attempt to make her marriage work. Not all marriages can be saved but doesn't mean she should give up if she wants it to work without trying to make it work. I don't know if her marriage worked but she seems to have found some peace within herself ,which is never a bad thing.
@@sweetpea7362 So sorry I just saw your comment. Yes he did stopped. I have prayed for him incessantly. He doesnt pray before but now he even initiates praying with me.
I liked ur advice,enjoyed ur talk ,I had changed myself after an incident from my husband ,I felt more like u explaining my experience!! God bless u !!!
I am glad you asked because the concept of unconditional love is so misunderstood and most people think they do indeed love their partner unconditionally,, and are trying to demonstarte their love, but are not. The easiest "tests" are 1. You never feel resentment or disappointment because of his errors... because your love for him is greater than those. 2. You are swimming in joy regardless of anything in your outer world. Learning to love unconditionally is a path, a process, and heals your connection.
I hear what your saying and understand just found out my husband of 26 years has been cheating for 23 of those years. What happens next that's the 6 milion dollar question.. STAY STRONG
What a fantastic video…I mean the content. It is soul stirring and touching. I am working on your advice and things are surely falling in place. Your words are spiritual and you have given marriage this beautiful spiritual dimension which has gone missing in our mundane world.
PS. Wonderful insight in this message, thank you, Paul Friedman. It is so empowering to be shown how to manage ourselves better before we shift the focus to others. 💎
Perhaps, but I like to answer in different ways in different videos especially for those who won't read one of my books or take a course so they start to get a feel for how to live in a happier marriage through self-work.
I may be wrong but seems like what some commenters are overlooking is this is for people who want their marriage to work. Not ones who have given up. If both have given up then it probably can't be helped at least not by one video. If only one has given up the other can still do the work to fix it. Not all marriages can be fixed. I've never seen the claim by anyone but many can and don't need to end in divorce. If you're watching a video to find out how to Make your marriage work then you haven't given up. If you're watching a video to find ammo against your spouse and proof you're right and he is wrong then it probably isn't going to help. Again, I may be off base on all or some of my statements. I'm certainly not a counselor nor an expert in anything.
Please correct me if I’m wrong. When someone cheats, aren’t they demanding the end to the relationship? If someone is aware that infidelity will ruin their relationship, then cheating is someone making a series of conscious decisions to betray their spouse. At that point they have decided that after careful consideration that cheating is definitely worth risking the relationship. That said, should everyone involved seek to terminate the relationship?
People are not so strategic. We all act mostly out of habit and "go with the flow". What they are 'saying' is "I'm not getting my needs met" and so I am desperately seeking elsewhere. Learn to love, unconditionally! Get the marriage help course so your efforts are effective.
I have been married for 18 years found out my husbad had an affair for almost 2 years he says he want to stay in the marriage but keeps telling me that i control him and am checking up on him. I gave him his space back i mean i have no social media with him no password or anything that has to do with him. Is this another red flag thay i should not keep trying to make my marriage work?
The truth, and our experience, is that when you change yourself you change the dynamic of your marriage and start fresh. Giving up is a bad idea. Use the course for women.
This is unfortunately true and is due to the current thinking in society...so, let that be greater incentive to make your husband feel so loved that he would never want to lose what he has with you.
Whether one is gay or streight loyalty is the highest law and the response to cheating should first be an acknowledgement that the marriage is not functioning. Learn how to be married. 🙏
Pastor or bricklayer, it doesn't matter what role we play in life. Unless we know how to create a deep union every day everyone is susceptable to temptation
Sorry, but NO! Cheating is an act they do so they don't just cheat. The question is whether you will say "what can I do?" or "oh, well" Make your marriage amazing, even after that.
Ive been married 40 years. And have cheated,this is so true what he says. I have gone years then slipped. I feel very bad, and dont want to slip again.
I suggest that you need the course for men...themarriagefoundation.org/system/ it will give you the tools so you CAN achieve more than just the selfcontrol (SEW technique) but have a marriage that is wonderful.

When I am asking to him he is trying to hide and telling some stories which i can't trust him again... What to do in this situation i am totally confused and i love him alot... But i couldn't able to accept him ... Can you please help over this ...

Setting boundaries on unconditional love is not what we teach. Nor do we teach expectations of others. Learn to love, unconditionally.
