![Rescue Your Marriage [w/ Order of Man + Warrior Poet]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/A-WyYF8jj_4/mqdefault.jpg)
My dad called me this week asking "what is it like for you loving your wife and kids?"
For me, love makes me want to be better, without her asking me to. I still need prompting, but as the years go by, I am better at predicting her wants and needs, I do things for her before she has to point out what needs doing. We both feel we are not good enough for the other, so we strive to improve, to be more Christ-like, and be better servants to each other.
Well said... I really like that.
Have you not seen how John leaves testimony like yours out to dry?
Have you not seen how he coddles the swine, and entreats men to idle casting, if only to use the opportunity of souls rended, as an opportunity to sell t-shirts?
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a couple who have grown old together through very good and very hard times and have come out the other side best friends and true companions. Excellent discussion guys.
Unconditional love is necessary... from both sides. Otherwise you're unequally yoked and there are issues.
I would also point out that if someone is lost, threatening your life and you have to leave, it doesn't mean you can't love that person and pray for them from afar.
So glad I’m not the only one working on that verse, “Love your enemies like you love yourself”. Ouch. How-what? I get it but yeesh, tough one.
Huh. This is the first time I've considered that "unequally yoked" can mean "unequally committed" rather than the explanation I've heard all my life in church, "having contradicting belief systems"
I just love the way miss Poet looks at John she is clearly deeply in love with that man. It's a beautiful thing.
Ironic they probably consider you creepy for saying so, especially Mrs. “Poet,” and especially because you’re anonymous, or wearing a mask here…
My mother gave her lawn care wisdom to me like this.
The grass is never greener on the other side of the fence. It’s dead and somebody painted it green. It will wither to dust faster and require 10 times the work to maintain than the lawn you have already put your work into so far.
She advocates to stay with your first marriage because the next one will always get harder than the last.
The grass is greener where you water and tend to it.
Sometimes the grass is absolutely greener on the other side. That doesn’t justify covetousness or abandonment of one’s stewardship.
I love your Gospel centered approach to the answers and talking points. God Bless.
John’s education is largely secular. Haven’t you noticed?
@@ryonrobynson I thought he did mission work in Columbia for 5 years?? And I watch him give a sermon to a church congregation asking the question 'where are the lions of the faith?' these days.
@@martinscrapp7166 and Barrack Obama goes to church, and Hilary Clinton is a Methodist.
John’s own platform, by his own definition of secular: is secular. He doesn’t teach exclusively for a “Christian,” crowd, nor does he use exclusively “Christian,” rhetoric. He acts like a “Christian,” at times and seasons, while largely playing the hypocrite. He doesn’t show hospitality equitably here, as he should, as God commands, instead choosing to play the idol with breath, and for money sake.
It is written: “You cannot serve both God and money.”
John violates the commands of God, for money sake, a fact which I will continue to prove to any with ears to hear, and eyes to see, in hope of some great salvation among mankind.
It is written: “A truthful witness saves lives.”
And also: “A wise man loves rebuke.”
For me, the biggest take away from this video that was said would be " you bring the same person to the next relationship " that is an absolute fact and we are such a narcissistic society anymore that we forget we might actually be the problem
You guys are doing a bang up job with those cliff hangers/teasers to push us on to WPSN. It's wearing me down. Love the content you all.
Three things are necessary for a lasting relationship; 1) Trust, which goes hand-in-hand with respect and honesty. 2) Communication. And 3) A sense of humor.
Ironic John doesn’t write to his fans. He’s trying to create turnover so more people buy t-shirts. Eventually those left off will ebb the flow of that which is actually valuable entirely. John and his crew sow thorns unto themselves, while presuming greatly of their strange fire 🔥
@@ryonrobynson You've got over 300 comments on this channel and you're clearly not a fan of John. I'm curious what you're trying to accomplish by being here?
Put Christ first. He must be the center of your relationship.
@@ArmednotTriggered it is written: “A truthful witness saves lives.”
@@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921 and what do YOU mean by that, you who hide in darkness, practicing anonymity, rather than the light that God commands?
It is written: “Have no fellowship with deeds of darkness, rather, expose them.”
Another movie that depicts a healthy marriage where both members of the couple love each other unconditionally: Up. It's briefly portrayed, but their marriage is presented as genuine...and exceptionally difficult.
Calling love unconditional is calling love arbitrary. That which is arbitrary cannot be considered love. Every good love must bear with it covenant, or conditions. A condition of love is commitment. A condition of love is consent. Calling love unconditional presumes against commitment, and consent.
I've known my wife since we were 3 yrs old. Our parents were family friends so we were able to remain in contact even after my folks moved us to another state. We started a long distance relationship in high school, I flew in to take her to Prom. We will be celebrating 17 years married in July. Even with our history we have to work to keep our marriage growing and it's not always easy. We both have stubborn personalities so arguments can drag on if we let them. Learning to communicate effectively has been a hugh part. A lesson we try and convey to our two boys.
Just want to say that I really REALLY appreciate this episode, and I wish these types of conversations happened more.
I've been married to my wife for 12 years now, and we were married when I was 22 yrs old. I was taught every single one of these things from a young age via my parents and my church. I truly have a testimony of these things, and everywhere I look online I see "relationship advice" by people who truly have no understanding of the purpose of marriage, as well as a willingness to understand and accept their failings and put efforts into being better together.
Thanks John!
13:28 - “Yeahhh…. If the Unconditional Love comes from both sides, then I’m in !!!”….🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ … 🤣😂🤣
I’ve been married for more than 30 years…One rule keeps me safe….Never make someone mad that watches you sleep…..I love my wife😂…I also remember the words of Proverbs 31:10…”Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies”….Treat her like the treasure she is and everything works out👍🏻….Marriage is hard work and worth every moment
A wise woman loves rebuke. If she treasures wisdom, she will love disciple. The same goes for the husband. She will practice rebuking you, for your good.
Why did your wife let your share your testimony with those who will count it a vain trifle from a stranger, in order to ignore it, as part of a money making scheme?
True love by definition is love that’s given when one doesn’t deserve it.
Oddly enough the marriage of "Mom and Dad" in the kids show Bluey is portrayed in a really wholesome way.
John would consider it secular education, and something you should urgently get away from, if he felt he could make a dime by saying so.
Best marriage in a movie, "Up". Got me crying before the movie really even got going.
John might agree with you, if he had courage and diligence not bound to his own money making at your expense.
That first one has never been married for decades and had kids.
Unconditional LOVE is a requirement to make it work.
Abuse is not love of any kind and has no place in any relationship!!
Even abuse can be overcome with Love.
@@ryonrobynson It is best over come in a state bed and breakfast for 10-20.
@@keithmalmberg8395 I’m surprised you didn’t say death, seeing as by abuse you must mean physical abuse only. Discipline is an act of love. That includes jail time in some degree.
Do you believe abandonment is a form of abuse?
FWIW, I was always a fan of how a married couple was portrayed in Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing”
Sadly, John does not grant you the barest hospitality of mere acknowledgement because he presumes you’ve been conditioned by television to be ignored.
Also wanted to say that as much as I enjoy all the rah, these conversations are some of my favorite content. We really need this kind of content - and learnings - to help us become well-rounded poets.
A breath of fresh air guys! My wife and I just celebrated 30 years of marriage. It’s work and the more you work at it the better it gets. I think society has taught that selfishness is a desirable quality…it’s not. Drive and work ethic are the qualities they stole.
A quite place is a great movie thats come out recently as an example of a strong family and marriage.
That is a great example.
Ironic how you all largely ignore each other while counting one another strangers. You all fawn over these idols with breath in order to presume against one another. Surely this place is a synagogue of satan by design.
Society seems to always focus on passionate romance, casual relationships and preaches that friends are the best people you’ll have in your life. In my experience as a single 32yr old virgin man, I still haven’t found good quality friends and genuinely believe family is the unit that will always be there when your world comes crashing down.
Perhaps you haven’t found any good quality friends because you yourself are not a good quality friend. If you presume yourself a good quality friend, but are not, then that explains your predicament. If you are a good quality friend, you would have made some by now.
@@ryonrobynson I’m not one to ever promote myself or brag about my character traits. That said said and knowing we’ll never meet in person to show you how I was raised, I’ll have to tell you about myself. I’m empathetic towards everyone and presume the best of people unless they show me otherwise. I hold doors open for everyone and greet them with respect. I’m really loyal to those who show interest in hanging out with me. I will complete any favor asked of me if I’m able to do it. I’m more than willing to help anyone who asks and needs it. With this context, nobody wants to be my friend as society has brainwashed everyone to believe you need to have loud noises constantly around you, fun includes getting wasted drunk out on the town at night and staying chaotically busy is better than relaxing doing nothing. I value spending time with those I love than simply having friends who might not be able to be there for you because they have other priorities. It’s not just about being a “good friend” yourself which will automatically attract good friends. You can be a good friend, but yet, everyone rejects you because you don’t value the same lifestyle.
@@davidbigd9047 hey dude dont listen to that guy.
My advice as a fellow old person (over 30) is that you need to find hobbies out of the house more. Maybe its board games and a card shop. Maybe its the range and shooting. Maybe its machine repair or riding horses. I dont know what you are into but when you find people that do yhe things you like you can bind over that stuff.
Itll take time to figure out if someone is quality but you'll at least figure that out along the way.
If you are looking for relationship stuff, I met my girl on coffee meets begal and I tell her all the time I hate we met on a dating app but it wasn't likely to happen in person.
Good luck dude and dont give up.
@@Bob_Bob_B0b thanks, but, I believe in matchmaking by family members when it comes to relationships. Besides, I’ve had my hobbies and tried dating apps which never led to friendships or relationships. Though most have success with the way dating has been (including you), I’m in a totally different game where arranged marriages and matchmaking should be the norm. I may have been born in 1990, but, my soul belongs in a previous century.
@@davidbigd9047 hey man. No worries. God speed i hope it works out.
I always love your podcasts. You give great advise and insight.
One of our friends told us some of their premarital advice back in the 80’s . The advice was lower your expectations and raise your commitment.
It is better to have realistic expectations. Slander is a form of lowered expectations, and it destroys relationships.
I can't upvote this enough! Great great content. Thank you for putting this up, guys!
Your encouragement is ill spent. They count you as a stranger they intend to use for their own money making capriciously.
As soon as I saw the title, I knew this was going to be serious and hilarious at the same time😅
I find that the grass tends to be greener where it gets watered.
Thank you everyone for this video! My wife have been married for 30+ years & have known each other for going on 37 years. I worked for our church & did a lot of marriage counseling over the years. i was always amazed how (how church people) acted about marriage! Unbelievable how people treat one another that are married, & claim to be Christians. The best thing that help to my wife & I our church has pre-marital counseling. It is highly recommended for younger couples!
Two things I needed today. 1. Sound relationship advice. 2. Body armor.
Happy Days was probably the last TV marriage that portrayed a couple that had been together for a while and lived through the best and worst. Mr. and Mrs. C were great role models. Sure, they got exasperated with each other, but life was a partnership and they faced it together.
I recall an interview with a woman who had just lost her husband after 60-odd years of marriage, and she was asked how they managed to stay together so long. What was the secret? She said she had set a line in her mind that he could not cross. " Did he ever cross that line?"asked the interviewer? " Yes", the woman answered. " So, what did you do when that happened?" She was asked. " I moved the line." she said with a smile.
Can it then truly be said that they were actually together, when instead their relationship was defined by a mutual licentiousness that made fidelity a veneer?
@@ryonrobynson I don't recall the line being infidelity.
@@withoutfurtheradoforever that’s probably because neither I, nor the woman, implies the line was infidelity, in and of itself. The precept is: do not do infidelity. The precept is: do not cross the line. If the line was infidelity, then crossing it would be fidelity.
Loved hearing this and learning more about your relationship !
We aren’t married yet but we have grown so much in the years together I can’t wait for what our future holds! ❤
You should be wiser in and with whom you entrust your marriage. The people you write to, are using your testimony as a marketing device. In order to do that they must leave it out to dry, counting it a vain thing, and theirs to behold, or destroy as they see fit. They are capricious, while counting you and everyone like you, a stranger. It is unwise to grant them surety as you have done. You may find yourself seeking what they steal from you, but unable to aggress their walls of haughty silence.
Thanks for another great discussion folks. We've been married more than 40 years now and when asked similar questions, we tell others that respect is a great foundation stone in a relationship. If one can respect someone, it's easy to like them and not that tough to love them. Without respect, it's tough sledding. Bless you all.
If John respected you, or your testimony, he would take the time to write to you equitably. Why do you leave your pearl here to he ravaged by John’s disregard?
Someone told me once "the grass is greenest where you water it", I always liked that instead of the "grass is greener somewhere else".
So enjoyed this!
I take my life advice from the writing of King Solomon and the words of Jesus Christ and the Apostles. Not from a company where men get Brazilian waxes and make videos about it...
You mean you don't want to know the ten ways that being a cuckold is good for you?
👏🏼👍🏼👌🏼
Just don’t take any of Solomon’s marriage advice LOL
@@ogloc6308you mean Solomon's marital actions. His advice was rock solid. He just didn't take it.
Speaking of Solomon, here's a joke my father used to tell:
Q: "What's God's punishment for having more than one wife?"
A: "Having more than one wife."
Honestly, I don't even know how Solomon survived having as many wives and concubines as he did. It sounds great when you are 18, but at 36 I barely have the energy to deal with one woman.....I think more than that could actually be fatal. 😅
True love is absolutely unconditional. If you cheat lie steal or gaslight and abuse someone in any way, you didn’t truly love them. That was never true real love in the first place.
Why do you speak contradictions?
All love operates on the conditions of consent and commitment.
I haven’t watched the full video but it seems John and his crew are trying to sell secular education again, while lauding themselves over everyone here.
@@despizeperform5367 you can’t fall in love love and actually truly love the wrong person. It may feel a lot like love but it’s not. God put 1 human on this earth for everyone. That’s the only person you can truly, really love. That’s my belief. As far as what love is? 1 Corinthians 13 explains that very well.
My wife and I were a whirlwind romance that started 32 years ago. We met over the phone finally met face to face 3 months later were engaged 2 months after that then married a year later. I was 24 she was 25 (she's exactly 40 weeks older. I say she was born god said she needs someone and I was conceived). The relationship has definitely NOT been all roses. We are complete opposites, however we saw that many of those opposite traits were something we wanted to be. We've worked HARD to become better FOR each other not Because of the other demanded it.
Young people today have been indoctrinated into the me me me way of thinking. The If I don't get everything I want every time it's bad for me and my feelings/mental health. They are incapable of concerning themselves about the feelings of others no metter how much they claim they do.
Coach T and Tami from the Friday Night Lights show. A little late to the party here, but when I watched that show as a young adult, I remember telling myself that I needed to rewatch as a husband and/or father.
Great show! A movie with a great marriage and "bad advice" is The Story od Us with Bruce Willis and Michelle Phifer. Love the way the story is told, both in present and reminiscing perspective. It shows how people change over time and loose sight of the value of what they have built and how hard marriage really is; it's highs and lows. Mostly, IMO, relationship issues stem from a lack of God in them. Thanks for all y'all do! 😊❤
This is great I will enjoy every bit of it
Hey John and Bekah. Thanks for your insight. Sad that our society is very shallow. No one wants to commit beyond today. Married to my best friend for nearing 45 years. Lots of ups and downs. Lots of successes and failures. I wouldn't want to have gone through it with anyone else. Blessings to you and your family, and all of the Warrior Poets.
Why do you call yourself no one, if not as an act of false humility?
This was great.
Love this!!!
Find yourselves someone who looks at you the way Mrs. Lovell looks at her husband.
good talk, thanks👍
that's right,
only love isn't enough for a happily ever after 😃
there's 2 more components that create a whole understanding 💯
so it's 3 things total
Affinity + Reality + Communication = Understanding
plus high ethics
and then
Knowledge + Responsibility + Control

I learned this advice after my divorce: Don't stop dating. If you stop dating, you stop romancing. Wish someone had given that advice to me when I got married.
Just a note on “the grass is not always greener”: I have heard someone make the point of “why are you looking at another man’s yard? You should be cultivating your own grass to become greener. Instead you’re coveting their yard, and soon, their spouse, too”
So a little bit of what John talked about at the end
Why do you think they put wisdom under a paywall, if that’s truly what they’re selling, when God says that wisdom should not be sold for money?
There’s hundreds of free church sermons you can plug into if you want wisdom. I understand they still have a business to run but they were kind enough to give us plenty of wisdom for free in this video. Although I’m not too sure where it says in the Bible to not charge for wisdom? I know you shouldn’t charge for deliverance though
@@arturosann7016, giving free samples of what Jesus commands be entirely given for free, is non-exonerating. Your presumption that advertising is kind, is notwithstanding the fraudulent nature of what the seminarian seeks to sell for money. Do you count me generous also for laboring here freely, in accordance with the Way, the Truth, and the Life?
There’s a really good sense movie called dances which depicts the struggle of a lower class black family in the early prohibition days and they did great showing the struggles of how much they loved each other despite all the drama
18:00 in Movie with good marriage - "The Christmas Card". My family watches this every year after we put up the Christmas Tree. My God bless you and your work.
One of my favorite episodes to date! Trying to find a way to get my son and daughter-in-law over to watch this episode. We share a love of the great authors and I would like to recommend Ann Voskamp and her book titled “one thousand gifts.” Grace to you all of my warrior poets.
The Grass is greener where you water it! Water the grass of your marriage and it will flourish. Pour into your spouse. Even when it “isn’t deserved”.
Thanks for tackling some awesome topics!
Thank you for sharing your story!! I’m certain that your story of getting married young and facing trouble is not unique, but praise the Lord for where you are today! I got married young, similar circumstances - very passionate, only engaged a couple months, but when we hit that 2 year mark it got him out. He was healing from a serious injury, I wanted to have babies but he wasn’t ready (I had a miscarriage and that really changed something in him), and I had changed and grown in the Lord but he had not. I’m thankful for God’s grace, and thank you for sharing your story so maybe some couple will be encouraged when they face difficulty.
True love is from both!
I often remark on good lines in movies and shows. John delivered a good line early in this video.
"It's not a contract. It's a covenant."
Great episode 👏💥💙🙏
"I would never rattle the bushes" 😂
"Moms night out" is a great movie of married life lol
The grass is greener, but just as hard to mow!!!
The way your wife loiks at you is so endearing. She looks totally and completely head over heels in love w you! 😍
Great topic!!!
Buzz feed - blind leading the blind
"Yes! My bro Ryan!" 😂
I love your biblical viewed on marriage. Absolutely a covenant, there is no quitting. When I see the covenant God made with Abraham and how it points to Christ, it is overwhelming. When we keep in mind the standard God has for covenant relationship and his expectation for marriage it really changed the way we viewed our marriage vows and the commitment we made. My wife and I had 3 really tough years and we were headed towards divorce and ultimately it wasn’t until we were both ready to go deeper in our relationship with God and focus on growing and living by the word of God and in that we realized divorce was not an option. We didn’t know how we would ever get back on track or rebuild a broken marriage but because we said yes to God and made it clear we would not divorce, God ultimately began changing us both and rebuilding our marriage on solid Ground, with him as the corner stone. Having a relationship with God has been the greatest part of my life. Paul writes about spiritual fitness in that we should strive for righteousness we should strive for relationship with God in the same way Olympic athletes strive to be the best and master their art. It takes work, but it is the most rewarding thing you will ever encounter.
10:12 the COME ON BRO look from Jon
Recently turned 60. Been married 35 years. Have two awesome adult kids and our first grandchild joined our family 2 months ago. Marriage is work and takes a team effort. But after 35 years I can’t imagine my life being spent wit anyone else. Nothing better than family.
Hey John I've been watching your videos for a couple months now and really love the content. I am looking for some advice I am about to get married but I have an obsession with joining seals and I was wondering if I could get some advice on if I should join the military or not with what is going on in today's society.
For Better of for worse, through sickness & in health, until death do us part. . . .
My wife and I use the term: I love you and there isn't ANYTHING you can do about it!
John, the way your wife looks at you… priceless.
He’s ignored you. Venture to guess why?
The most refreshing movie relationship i have seen was the "A Quiet Place" movies. It is a scary movie, but it was surprisingly the most real life relationship on a movie that I have seen in a long time. It might have something to do with the main actor and actress being married in real life.
Here for a comment and a👍🏼
If you’re not watching the full show on the WPSN app then you are really missing out! Out of all my monthly subscriptions, the WPSN subscription on the app is by far my favorite, and provides exceptional value for training/fun content to watch. Last but definitely not least, episodes like this help people see the need to be well rounded and grow to strengthen relationships. In the broken world we live in we need to be fighting to save marriages and the family unit just as hard as we are fighting to preserve the second amendment.
Ah, yes! The reason we are all here; to love! Our message to the cosmos!
Johnny's you really have a great gal there I'm glad you guys toughed it out because now you can give us your wisdom and I like that your wisdom comes from the word of God
I’m sure you see how they favor those who give them money for their wisdom, and how they largely ignore everyone here.
Most people do not see love as a CHOICE, they see love as an emotion. Love MUST be clearly defined in order to have an effective conversation on this topic. Love is ultimately a choice and we need to thank God every single day for this truth, otherwise we would all be doomed for eternity.
Great point; marriage is a 3 way covenant between the man, the woman, and God.
To the point of unconditional love: Even if you have the purest heart that keeps forgiving physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional and verbal abuse, lying, cheating, using the rent money at the bar, all of it- you can still have love for someone but know when it is not safe to stay. You can still love the person you met, and yearn for "the way things used to be", and KNOW you have to leave. The sad truth is loving someone doesn't make them love or care for you. Some people use the word "love" to manipulate, and marry you to further their own ends. Most of us just need to put in the work to make our marriages better, but some people out there are in genuinely abusive situations, and need to leave.
There is a difference between love and staying with an abuser… I have a friend who was abused and still loves her abuser and prays for him, it she didn’t stay with him enabling that abuse… but love is still there…
I so want a better marriage then what my wife and I have. I just want to ask for prayer for my wife and I in our marriage.
Perhaps one of the mistakes you’re making is vesting in those who ignore you for money, while counting their time greater than yours.

Watch "Fireproof"
I'm so glad I divorced my first wife. A few years after we split I met my true wife and we've been together nearly 11 years. My ex is now on marriage number 3. I'm incredibly lucky I didn't have children with that woman.
Agree. I stayed in my marriage too long bc I convinced myself that we took vows. So glad we mutually divorced and both are now in serious relationships and we’re both very happy for eachother.
Ironic how you scorn reconciliation in order to call infidelity a good thing. She wasn’t really your wife if you divorced her.
@@ryonrobynson what infidelity are you talking about?
@@jorgi86 Ignore him. He's commenting on virtually every post and doesn't like John, for some reason. I'm glad you've found a loving wife later on.
@@ryonrobynson what are you talking about? There was no abuse, no infidelity. We just became more of roommates and friends
In the movie "About Time" the parents of the main character have a good marriage and love each other a lot. Amazing movie too!
"My life is more precious for being less certain, and richer for being poorer."
- TV show called Poldark made within the last 10 years. My wife and I really enjoy the depth of their marriage, the raw mistakes they both make, yet the hard-learned lessons of forgiveness and love throughout. Truly a great show and a great marriage.
just skip the last season and you'll have a good time with that show 😄
@@mrbojangles4155 lol yes I agree. I mean, I still enjoyed the last season, but it definitely add my last favorite
Gotta share Paul Tripp’s definition of love here: “Love is willing self-sacrifice for the good of another that does not require reciprocation or that the person being loved is deserving.”
All true love requires reciprocation. All true love sown will bring forth true love. Even those who hate in return reciprocate in some degree. You would be wiser to know God’s definition of love, rather than flattering haughty seminarians selling ministry services for money as all sorcerers do.
@@ryonrobynson Not exactly sure of the argument you are making here. I think the definition above is saying there is no expectation of a quid pro quo. Parable of the Good Samaritan would be a biblical example.
18:22 One relationship that comes to mind is “The Notebook”. Showed them together for the toughest part of a marriage…the “til death do us part” time. Granted, they skipped over the decades of growth and day to day life together, but they nailed the commitment part. That he was a veteran, and they each needed to deal with their own and mutual baggage made it seem more real.
Speaking of dealing with issues, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” gets a nod for showing the hard work of relationships, and sticking with it even when things look bleak. That’s not to discount the whole abuse/attempted murder thing, but they really did become a great team.
The best versions of ourselves are always forged in the fires that are OUR toughest challenges, hence why each of us is truly unique. My relationship theory is that everyone is their own brand of crazy, with their own baggage. The trick is to find a partner with compatible and complementary (NOT the same) baggage and type of crazy (generally NOT the same baggage/crazy as each other).
I read your whole letter. A couple of things you should understand:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith was parabolic content. There wasn’t attempted murder because they knew their limits, both within the narrative and outside the narrative. A higher intuition guaranteed survival.
Why did you entrust your testimony to one who ignores you, if you truly are wise in way of relationships?
I love the "old" relationships portrayed in Taylor Sheridan's 1883 and 1923 with Tim McGraw & Faith Hill and Harrison Ford & Helen Mirren.
A lot of solid and interesting feedback on the Buzzfeed site. I do think that it’s important to realize and differentiate between the different kinds of love however. This was touched on indirectly. It’s important to acknowledge Agape love, Phileo love, Eros love, etc. If the context is a romantic partner/future spouse, then of course the I Corinthian (ch.13) agape needs to be there (like any relationship), but, by God’s design, the Eros better be there equally as well!
Disney Pixar‘s Up. An excellent model of marriage in five minutes!
You can love someone and still set boundaries. Falling in "love" is infatuation. It can be grow into love but one has to be open to the idea of a deeper companionate love if they want longevity. Those expecting infatuation to last for a decades are setting themselves up for failure. Life ain't a movie or a book--that's why they're movies and books.
Aquinas says that to love is to will the good of the other. I haven't found a definition of love that I like more than this.
You left us at right at the moment of the most vital information that we all need. That I need. How did you make it through 2 years of not so good? How did you communicate that to each other? How did you fix that?
"Date Night" and "Note book" 2 good movies with couples in a longer marriage setting.
Love the way She looks at Him. After 39 years my wife still looks at me that same way.
I say this to friends frequently, Warior poet best is when his wife is on as well.
It is a cartoon but up shows unconditional love
John i would love to see you on the Shawn Ryan Show. It would awesome to hear you discuss faith on Christ
Nice cliff hanger
If only more people would consider these things.
I finally found my REAL SOUL MATE! We just got married March 24,23! We are so different, we both have past history and current issues and NOTHING will destroy our marriage!
John when you were talking about Jesus and true love your wife was looking at you like a meal😂 I love seeing you two together on videos.
These people that wrote these have never witnessed or experienced true love. Love does conquer all and that is all you need. All those other things are absolute when it comes to true love. It blows my mind that these people don’t get this.
Why doesn’t it blow your mind that your testimony here is treated as something to be ignored, by those you presume some fellowship with in some degree?
