This is really hard to accept. If the man is abusive, all articles and videos tell them woman to leave and abusers never change. This is telling me to tell her shes beautiful while she's hitting me...

As for restraining her, if shes heightened to the point she's physically attacking me then restraining her will only cause her to scream the street down and then accuse me of physical violence.

I think it's a little risky and potentially really dangerous to recommend physical restraint especially with no training how to restrain someone: this could quite easily lead to a very dangerous escalation.

Wow I just tried doing this with my wife. And it worked wonderfully. Thanks for the help.

This is, in my opinion, the best video you have posted. It’s concise, empathetic and extremely practical with suggestions for improving marriage. Thank you!

No one should tolerate abuse. Just leave and don't put yourself thru it. You don't want to stay with someone who might end up killing you.

The demons feed on anger. God protect us all

Basically when she is losing it, a man needs to put the other cheek.. I was expecting different type of advice like accountability and boundaries that both need to have when they are in a relationship… I understand that men needs to stay cool when the storm is coming but to restrain an emotionally disturbed woman…

Thank you Paul! Please pray for me and my wife if you can. God bless Frans

Bad advice. My ex turned out to have a personality disorder. Love does nothing but empowers her

[AmyGannaway]

I'm the husband and I'm hurt and I'm sad and I'm not just angry. That's not accurate to say about men, I'm obviously listening to this for a reason and primarily because I want my marriage to work and to be a father to my children. So please don't label men as angry. That hurts.

[jodisattva]

This made me cry so hard. I want that kind of containment so badly. Men are mostly afraid to step up. They run away and shame.

Thank you for this advice . I didn’t know whether or not I could get in legal trouble for this . I did this and it worked except I didn’t think about telling her how much i love her . But i did pray out loud and for a bit it made her more angry but then started crying, almost like wailing but she calmed down . But she still won't admit that she tried throwing things or hurting me . I believe theres still a lot of shame and guilt around that . I wish i would know how to make her feel like I'm on her side . I have to learn not to respond to my triggers but it's scary because I put a lot of trust in her support when she's not triggered and angry. Please Pray for us .

Good Video. Do you talk about children too ?

[TonyLine-vm]

Everything you said, fits. Thank you!

[MNIGN]

It always an excuse for women but for men...it's not.

[makoddufaal]

Many thanks for these very useful tips

[justhealth]

This really good thank you. Daemons!! ah that is what thought as well

[nathanmunoz]

Thank you sir! This one is really powerful!!!

[TheDanielJohnsonShow]

Man, so good! I wish I had this about 5 years ago. But, now I feel confident I could diffuse before things ever even got violent. Love your videos, brother

Is this is about narcissism or just random women getting aggressive?

[robsouth]

You make it sound so easy. Flight is the only thing I know that works. Once emotionally hurt women in general will go to very dark places. I get we are the protectors but this is not as easy as just saying don't get upset
