    Wife refused any counseling to save the marriage. Her only friends for years outside our marriage were divorced. THAT poisoned her. She finally screwed her coworker who of course supported and encouraged her to divorce me. 17 wasted years with her. And sicker than that, I want her back and still miss and love her 26 years later. We have never talked since I recieved the divorce papers.

    Grateful for this video, I needed to hear it today. At 10:57 Mr. Mathews spoke a truth into me that was painful to receive, but so needed. Hope, what a powerful force it is....I am a Christian and this past year I've discovered Lamentations in a deeper way....Chapter 3:24 "The LORD is my portion says my soul, therefore I will HOPE in him". It is indeed a grief that we walk daily and the PIES have been such a helpful framework to rebuild. Thank you for the great work you do.

    Do not recommend people to move on after divorce. Let each person decide. It is true that you don't want to be in waiting mode and be stuck. But moving on is not everyone's cup of tea.

    Great episode, enjoyed the clinical review of brain fog research …..need for adequate hydration is something I perpetually miss the mark on. It would be interesting to review research on the effects of long term distress (i.e. divorce, homelessness, chronic disease) on brain fog. I can speak to the experience of a long and painful ongoing divorce that has undoubtedly resulted in brain fog in some of the domains you covered.

    22:33 thanks for a great interview. I am stuck on the one thing related to post traumatic growth. Is Dr. Tedeschi saying that anxiety is a factor prior to people experience experiencing post traumatic growth? After 3 brain hemorrhages and, brain surgery and living with deficits after hemorrhagic stroke I feel like I’ve experienced post traumatic growth over the years but can’t say that I ever had anxiety. I’d love your thoughts.

    I really love her research but, hearing about the whole trying out when younger and marriage later, I rather be the man who women try out with.

    I have been listening to you and your father for about a week now nonstop. My husband left during our Thanksgiving holiday and I was completely taken by surprise. I was 4 months pregnant. I really tried and studied how to communicate with him and even tried different communicate styles, but I always felt like he was not listening at all. To date, we are separated and going through divorce proceedings, and when I have to bring anything up about the children being hurt/embarrassed by his mother he gets super angry and leaves. He will not communicate and I feel like he is not open to think that his parents are less than perfect. It makes him more angry when he yells at me that I don't get as emotional as he does and has told me that it means I don't care about the topic. How should I address any of the issues if he doesn't seem to want to communicate at all?

  • @milagrosbyrd6461

    I committed to saving my marriage before my husband left our home. I have tried a lot of these things, but I feel like nothing is helping. He continues to not communicate and seems determined not to come back. I am praying constantly because I know God is for marriages! I will continue to try and work and will stay committed because I love this man and he is my God ordained husband until death do us part.

    I think I’ve gone through so much of those feelings that I just try to feel peace within myself at the time being. It’s been 2 years since the 14 years of confusion ended. I’m tired of running, trying to show compassion, anger, understanding. Pretty much be a firefighter with just a tad too little water to put out the little fires everywhere. I might’ve thought that I was an Atlas to her world, but even he has to put the world down and rest a while. It is what it is, and she is who she is. You simply can’t fix damaged people, they must fix themselves.

    There are a bunch of great points in this video! One comment on the fertility, there was some good things pointed out, but you completely skipped the nutritional and enviromental standpoint! Those companies you mentioned are some of the big perpetuators of this. Please help people realize how big an impact things such as micro plastics, endocrine disruptors, fluoride, and birth control have on this! I think few to many understand this and how big an impact it has, and also a lot of woman and men do not understand well the biological clock that is running against them for having children. Mostly for woman it will be significantly harder to have children later on because of the limited number of fertile eggs, as well as that it will affect their body a lot more, because it is much harder to recover. Besides that, keep up the great work! Sincerely, JS

    My husband just told me today that he wants a divorce (he found out I had an emotional affair with someone from my past). The hardest part for me is that this is the only real conflict we have had in our 7 years together and he just wants to throw in the towel. I've talked to him about working together to address the root of the issue, but right now he is stonewalling me. In the meantime, I'm going to use your advice, especially paying attention to changing some things that I do that might ne pushing him away. I'm glad I found this video. Thank you ❤

    My pastor who is the best bible teacher in the world (my opinion) says councilors are a huge waste of money. He had the fourth largest southern Baptist church in Texas for 15 years until he resigned and left the SBC because it’s gone to the dogs. I found out from a friend who went to his church that he was moving to the Taos NM area and startling an online church. I had left all churches and anything related because I thought the church twisted the Bible. When I met with him (Dr. Randy White) I discovered that what I was sensing the church was doing is exactly why he quit FB Katy TX. I’ve had a rough rough rough 34 years of marriage given my wife is a devout Baptist and Beth Moore type believer and no amount of counseling can break the ties that control her. Dr White told me that he would not see a counselor and might have to accept that it doesn’t work and can’t be fixed. I believe that if one will listen to this woman or the woman at the happy marriage school they can have a happy marriage
