A happy and lasting marriage to which both partners are committed is one of life's greatest assets.

[lynnjenkins]

This should be compulsory viewing for everyone not yet married!

[janeteaton]

My husband and I agreed that divorce was never an option . We’ve been married for 40yrs . Sadly we got covid and he didn’t survive it . I’m broken hearted .
We had to work through a lot of things. I had been abused and that had a lot of baggage to work through . It has been awesome .

Younger generation is leaving on impulse, whatever they might feel they'll act blindly on it. It's overwhelming the lack of real communication at the moment.

[browmi]

This was my first marriage. It imploded when both my parents died and I was going to therapy for depression trying to pull myself out of a dark place. Right then I was abandoned. It was horrible.

[blendi]

This is the only speach of Peterson that I agree 100%. Probably his best speach.

[atherisgreen]

This is 100% accurate. My parents divorced when I was 11. My life went downhill from there...fast. I sometimes daydream about what life might have been like if they tried just a little bit harder and tried really looking far into the future on the effect it would have on their kids in life. I was a very smart kid, talented in almost everything I touched. Through the pain of abandonment and my foundation being pulled from under me, I started drinking. I became a severe alcoholic to deal with my pain, it's cost me nearly everything valuable in my life. I've gone down some very dark paths I probably would never have walked otherwise. I'm almost 40 now, broke and a criminal with 4 kids. It's very hard to carry on some days. But I always think back to how I might have tuned out or what decisions I would have made differently if I wasn't so consumed by pain and let it consume my life. I wonder...

[beethethi]

Yes, vowing to stick together “for better or for worse” makes a big difference in feeling free in the relationship. Before I agreed to take those vows, I did put one condition, though: It was that there would be No physical abuse. Thankfully, that was honored.

[evaberriman]

This attitude kept me in a very unhealthy dynamic for 24 years. People were warning me left, right, and center, and I remained loyal…. Until I was diagnosed with two incurable conditions that severely impact life-span. I was dying from the inside out, and he kept prioritizing himself.
Now that I have left, I am much healthier, physically, mentally, emotionally, and a much better mother to my small children. Their trauma from the separation is minimal, because they have only ever known dysfunction. Now they have two homes, of which one is actually healthy where they can be loved children with healthy boundaries.

[PennySmart]

As a divorced person I totally concur. Much as I never miss my husband of 25 years, I never expected the effect divorce had on children that I wrongly thought were adults.

[petersutton]

Don’t always think you know everything Jordan.

I lived as you suggest. I was married and I meant it, I was never going to walk away.
My wife was unfaithful to me four times. Three times I took her back the fourth time she wouldn’t come back no matter how hard I tried.

Obviously I wasn’t giving her all that she felt she wanted I know that but I was doing my very best.

Don’t be so judgemental because you don’t know (and can never know) the whole story.

[jaydeecee]

I would love to have had a normal fighting marriage....I was married 20 years to my children's father...didn't cheat...he came home to happy...clean loving children and spouse..a beautiful clean home and great meals...I was kind..affectionate and available. Took me years to figure out why my love didn't work ...he is a narcissist....saw my kindness as world was about control. I always say .."We had a lot in common..we were both madly in love with him"....living with a narc is tragic...and it doesn't end with divorce..he turned my grown children against me...because they forget..I hope it never happens with my grandkids

[monicaramirez]

Just be honest from the very beginning and transparent genuine authentic. If the person still likes you and accepts you flaws and all then you have a pretty good chance. If you pretend to be someone you are not, six months or years down the road the other may not like the real you that eventually must come out. It works I was happily married for 21 years to a wonderful gentleman, and I just became widowed 5-10-2019 on my 4 year sobriety and today I have 6.5 years sobriety and a lovely sober journey called life.

[leaveittothediva]

I agree with him but if you're husband or wife decides that they don't want you anymore, because they are in love with someone else, what then?.

[PeterCianci]

...and if the past reveals any clues, we end up exchanging one issue for another... stay put and discover happiness where you are and define why it's making you happy!

[andreagrazianodibenedetto]

It's certainly true that you need to be committed and not bail out of marriage at the slightest issue.

Yet that doesn't mean that you shouldn't divorce ever. When you realize that your spouse is psychologically harmful for your children, a divorce is the lesser evil for sure. Staying married with a person will ruin your children. And if you do, your children will pay a price so high you cannot even imagine. And your children will always resent you for it.

[elmateo]

He has some good points, but I'd say the opposite of this is also true. People need to know that if they behave too badly you might leave, otherwise they have no motivation to keep putting effort into the relationship (this is especially true for women, once they know they have you they'll often stop trying).

[DonChocolatey]

This guy has an answer for everything. I’m obsessed!

[elsaberhe]

Thanks Jordan P. I totally get what you are saying and agree. When we choose to focus on the egoic world, deny ourselves to use the power within, that's the result.
It's a bit difficult subject to conclude what's right or not. Why some works not others.

The challenge and divorce reasons vary why people got married, , what their expectations and intentions are. Most importantly where they are in life (looking inwardly or outwardly).
Inwardly sees beyond behaviors; just love
Outwardly sees behaviors & defensiveness, and wasting time on passing and petty things
God bless. Thank you. Love you.
