  • Welcome to Jackie and Bobby’s new Ascension Presents channel! In this inaugural video, they offer some of the most practical advice on married life one could hope to receive. These four tips can help those who are already married, and anyone looking forward to taking their vows build a strong foundation for a marriage that gives glory to God:
    Don’t make your loved one into an idol,
    Communicate with your spouse (especially when it’s most difficult),
    Work on becoming more holy before entering a relationship,
    Make sure there’s a friendship underneath the romance.
    Also, make sure you check out Ascension’s Joy-Filled Marriage program, which offers many great life skills for marriage couples.

    Great advice. Clearly comes from experience.
    1. Your spouse is not God. They cannot complete you.
    2. Communication is essential. Arguing is better than silence, so long as there is constructive communication happening.
    3. You don't always have to be right. Listen more than you talk.
    4. Fix yourself in order to perfect your marriage. Be the person you want to marry.
    5. Friendship first. Romance second. Romance fades - are you really friends with this person?
    6. Talk about things that matter and unite - things both intellectual and spiritual.

      the 6th - not really that what they meant, and all of them are a little bit not fully, they speak about God, and not in a philosophical way, do not ' censor '

      Thanks for the Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Taparton Saving Family Takeover (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for helping a troubled marriage minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.

      There are a few tips for saving your marriage
      Try to talk more
      Cooperate with each other more
      Try to give and take more
      (I discovered these and why they work on Pavs Partner Pundit website )

    After 41 years and still going in our marriage, it's refreshing to hear your advice. Friendship and laughter makes a difference. In today's world here's a tip to add - Be mentally present when you are physically present. (put down the iPhone/iPad.) Blessings on your marriage.

    I just ended a relationship we liked each other in atraction and friendship, but not in faith. So, I truly worked hard to persuade her about the meaning and importance of Jesus' friendship in our daily relationship, but we couldn't make it. It ain't easy at all if we don't share faith. God bless!!!

    I have just discovered your videos, and have subscribed. It might sound odd, given that I am not Catholic, and aged seventy six and widowed. We are never too old to learn, and what might not apply in my life could be helpful to another. It is refreshing to hear two young married people speak openly about the dynamics which undergird a successful
    marriage.
    Thank you for sharing your wisdom. 👏👏👏

    This is a big thing, I hear the “they don’t complete you” and that’s true, but I’m not fixable before marriage. I can start, but I feel a lot of pressure from videos like this to be “fixed” first… just throwing that out there in case anybody feels the same…

    It is so important to understand the fundamentals of marriage. I started dating my husband when we were 14 years old and have been together ever since. We now have one beautiful baby girl. I made a video of our marriage secret sauce too :)

    Jackie and Bobbie, THANK YOU. This is outstanding adivce. Wouldn't it be great if a marriage course like this was presented to high school students. I had a course in Marriage at St. Louis University during college that included what you are saying and even expanded it on it. It was so hugely helpful! Thank you for this and for your down-to-earth real personalities. I also loved the video about using the Interactive Mass Book for children. Thank you very much. Sue Anthony

    God bless you and all listening..
    True, when GOD is in the relationship
    the well-being of your soulmate is rooted in LOVE.
    Life has no guarantees but if you marry a person who brings out the best in you-that’s another indication...as a couple grows, the love grows deeper (even in the challenging times when we can’t see it in the moment).
    Always thankful for all my blessings - the big ones, the small ones and the ones we may not notice. May we never lose our focus ❣️

    @cwthomas 3 роки тому +1

    This sounds like perfect advice. Some of it is for before you are married and some after though this leans more towards before. I'd like to see a video on advice once you are married and you realize that you've already made a lot of the mistakes listed here. a) maybe you don't have common goals or b) maybe you don't have a friendship and can't talk about deep things together. How do you acquire these things once you are married and realize that you don't have them?

My goodness it must be 10 years now. You were an amazing Keynote, and ready to jump in on the most ridiculous fun. Such a Sport. So, yeah, Hi‼️ I pray the Holy Spirit rain abundant blessings upon your Sacramental Union, especially as it connects you to the Most Holy Trinity, and should your family grow, may the Lord favor them and Blessings be Abundant upon them as well. In the Most Precious Name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen‼️‼️🛐🛐🛐🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💞💞💞💯💯💯

    Jackie and Bobby, glad you're doing these bits. I really appreciate it. I have a few questions of my own.
    In these so-called modern times, we're often seeing a lot of talk about gender roles and the gender binary, to what extent is it inherent, or socialized, et cetera. What do you think are the ideal, essential, bare minimum roles for the husband and wife to inhabit in a solid, holy Catholic marriage? What is absolutely necessary, and what is not?
    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I'm praying for my wife that she start coming to Mass Again None the cars of her not going to mass I messed up Don't worry thing I can do is pray for her and keep going myself until she's ready the golden mass.

    Some of the problem comes from one person being insistent of what they "need" but really, its just what they "want". Before imposing on your loved one, be strict on yourself remembering emotional independence is a good thing too, the best precursor to sharing emotions.

  • @Is-me-TheReal-Shakira
    @Is-me-TheReal-Shakira 5 років тому

    Hy there! Could you pls tell me according to your religion, when or if a wife has the right to refuse the sexual embrace of her husband ( if she feels sick, tired or simply preocupated of sth else, not in the right mood)
    Or, if she is not ready to get pregnant again , so soon?
    According to mine, married People should withhold during lent, but only if they both agree. Otherwise is considered a sin to say no bc you want to fast for it ( bc you "force" the Other one to do it against his /her will)
    What if the Other spouse is nota catholic and he disagree the catholic ideas about the reasons of having sex ? ( asking to do it just for physical satisfaction, but avoiding the possibility of procreation, or even not excluding the possibility of pregnancy termination)?
