How I SAVED my Broken Marriage

It's so much easier to ruin your marriage than to prevent problems in the first place. It's so much easier to drift towards emotional neglect and not even realize it. It's so much easier to get busy and put our relationship on the backburner rather then be proactive in pursuing and prioritizing intimacy and emotional connection and healthy communication. It's always easier to fall in love, than to stay in love. In this video I talk about what I had to learn the hard way when it came to saving my marriage.

I’m not even married I’m not even dating. 💯 single but here I am watching this anyway. Still very informative.

After sooo many years in the church, of all marriage advice and teaching, most of it was aimed at women and how they should submit. Very little was ever mentioned about a woman's needs, mostly about a man's needs. Very little was ever directed to men. It was all very toxic.
Thank you

I wish I had found this earlier, and I could have saved my marriage, and this guy knows what he's talking about. Listen to him.

Love, love, love this! I wish every couple would listen to this before marriage and regularly until it becomes part of them!

I know you're reading the comments, Jimmy. My husband is the closed off one. I kept asking him, "HOW CAN I TALK TO YOU??" And he has not been able to answer. I know. I know why. Today I realized I have not made a safe space within myself for him to open up. I am owning up to that. But, he does still have his own work to do too. I'm just glad that I was able to find where MY problem was - safety for him. We have physical safety, just not emotional safety. Yet.

Hooray for sharing scripture and bringing God into this! Marriage is first and foremost a ministry, as is parenting. May He continue to grant you wisdom and discernment and fill your cup, so you can spill into ours.

This is a strong one, Jimmy. I appreciate your candor. My husband & I have been in deep struggle for 5+ years. Been married 34 yrs. It's dilbilitating, frustrating, and just plain sad. Your opinions & insight are appreciated by many.

I'm glad I found your video. Me and my wife are separated after 37 years. God is changing me in this time. Your spot on with everything I've done wrong. I shared this video with her. Yes,
" EMOTIONAL IMMATURE " that was me. God is now in control. Please pray for us brother. I look forward to more of your videos.

I appreciate your videos. I wish my husband would watch them. Our marriage is dying and it’s for all the reasons you talk about. I am grateful for the work you do and what you share.

Such a beautiful video. Thank you. May the Lord pour his healing touch upon my marriage and our hearts. I hope everyone watching this video finds what they came looking for. God bless you, Jimmy. You have such a special gift for counselling.

I wish my husband would see this. I would have given anything to hear this from my husband. To see the need for change. I think your word is amazing.

[whtdrgn]

Whoa....I didn't know it was possible to get throat punched, have your toes stepped on and be personally called out all at the same time....wow dude...this is such good stuff

[cunningham]

I am determined to un-ruin my marriage. I am ready to change who I am and be who I need to be. I just hope she gives me the opportunity to prove myself to her

You’re humility is remarkable. Thank you so much for sharing your story on the web. God bless you and your family. ❤🙏

Thank you for having done the work in your marriage. It’s a good reminder that it can be done.

When pointing out that it only takes one to steer the marriage on a better path remember that that only works if the other partner is willing to respond. Because it is true that one person can make the difference but only if the other person is willing to respond and leaving that off leaves those with a spouse that will not try feeling like we weren’t good enough.

Keep up the good work. Your videos are awesome and I’m glad to have found them.

This is great! We've a good marriage. I'm incredibly lucky I met my soul mate but we all have areas and issues we need to work on and your videos are great and can be applied to be spouses. My husband can be dismissive in arguments that makes me feel like my feelings aren't valid and I know when my husband complains about something I become automatically defensive. The point may be absolutely valid - I do throw myself into my volunteer work and will prioritise that ahead of our marriage, which is wrong but because I know this I feel guilty and then I get defensive. So I will have to work on this. I deserve to be heard by my husband and my husband deserves to feel that his wife will prioritise him also. Thank you!

[clintbailey]

Thank you Jimmy that has spoken words to me and you are correct on every level. I really need to look into why I am the way I am, and ask her what is needed from me and even though she has told me repeatedly 😞.

[ruthlandis]

Your message is so good bro. As a wife I wish I knew how to communicate with understanding to my husband. He doesn't seem to understand my heart. I then don't feel understood and cared for, there is an emptiness and longing in my heart . He is a good man and wants to do what is right, but What I say just doesn't seem to make sense to him 😢🙏🏻.
