      Nice Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Mahorrla Guard Marriage Method (do a google search)? It is a good one of a kind guide for Saving Your Marriage without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got astronomical success with it.

      @@bds8350 Yeah, keep going steadfastly, take the chance, don't ask for the chance - you have the chance everyday! Keep it up for at least 3 months, because she might have a huge sorrow to get through, and do recognise the interlaced stages of sorrow in her process. Be appreciative if she lets you know something about how she feels along the way, even if the feelings she shares are anger, disappointment, resentment, regret. Beyond them is often fear. What you respond with must also be 100% honest and no people-pleasing.
      If she cries and yells and pounds your chest, tell her it is hard for you to hear that you have hurt her so much, but *you are not going anywhere, you are not leaving her* because of these feelings and their expressions. Say that you are sorry, but most of all: tell her that you are determined that you as a couple can handle this, if "we just give it time and if we practice to stay together and to live in true peace and harmony, ups and downs and all. Tell her that *you* will keep trying!" Don't leave it to God, he has given you all you need to do this. So do it, stay put and invite your wife to the new stage in your marriage where you, her husband, are taking this very seriously. "We can handle this!" Speak in a tender and determined voice, remember that. Voice and body language is 100% of the communication, when there is tensions. But repeat good and only good words. Do things she has asked for a long time already! Arrange things! Improve things. Finish unfinished business. Show your manly capacity in all things in life. And add some romantic appreciative and elevating gestures. Don't let her guess your intentions: she is not a mindreader. Confess: "I bought five kinds of flowers for you because I have forgotten which ones are your favourites."
      You are not going to be her door-mat and slave, but be the one who can help her have a life in which she thrives - by taking any directions, tips, and hints that you haven't been too appreciative about before. Give her time to start to believe in this change!
      I recommend Stephen Covey: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - be (become) such a man, in a way that is *visible* and 100% comprehensible and believable to your wife, and she will fall for you again.

      Me and my fiancé just split. She moved back into her moms yesterday and it’s the first night we spent separated for almost 4 years. It put things into perspective and was a wake up call for me. I realized how much of the issue I was. I’ve been able to self reflect and realize why things were the way they were for us. I’ve realized I love this girl to death and I’ll do anything to save this and to propose to her again. We gotta change for ourselves first and everything will click or fall back into place. I wish you good health and happiness on your journey of things. If you truly love her, you got this bro. We got this, let’s get our ladies back

    You've already helped me in being a better parent and helped me grow as a person.
    I hope that this will help my partner and I save our relationship. I'm planning on using this model for the rest of the time we are together (which I hope turns into a marriage).

On day 3, there hasn't been alot of hope but if your in this situation, control you, be a better you. Can't believe it took losing the love of my life before I would look inside myself.....and I don't like what I see, got lots of work to do. And don't underestimate the power of just talking to anyone, about what's happened, just saying it out loud really made me feel alot better. Good luck!

And again I’m just a roommate in the house and our son obviously can notice that. So I don’t know if I should just leave. He lies, stone walls me, and spent thanksgiving at his moms.

    We read each other gratitude out to one another, it was the first time I saw my husband cried so hard. So hard that he is sobbing. We both cried and hugged and cried for good 30 mins. I never knew gratitude is so powerful. We still dont have a solution yet but I would like to thank you for this vid. I've never seen this side of my husband, he poured his heart out. I told him we are going to do this gratitude for 5 days. Let's hope for a miracle.

    Tough times here. Between jobs, coming from 2 different cultures and languagges, one of us grew up passiv-aggressiv communicationwise, the other activ, one is a homebody, the other not. Then a sick parent and a sibling in a horrid divorce to worry about.. Wanting the same things but missunderstandings occur all the time.
    I am doing the list first thing in the morning.I should be day 6, I'm on day 4... But interestingly: the days I didn't do the list, I didn't actively do the rest either. Both days we had a bad fight. The days I did do the list, I remembered the rest much better. Then we had discussions or small arguments. Worlds better than fighting.
    We are visiting a couple's counceler too, though. Recommend it.

As of now, I am still showing that I care by serving her, getting her stuff she like without her asking for them, and sometimes I try to hear her out even when she doesn’t want to talk to me.

    So, I just finished watching this video and I am sitting here with tears streaming down my cheeks because I now realize that I have failed my wife and the relationship as a result. Although we are not yet divorced I fear so much that it will end up that way and I DO NOT wish to be alone, or more specifically, without her! My wife is amazing in SO many wonderful ways. She loves fully and completely. She gives with her whole heart. My libido and sex drive have diminished and as a result my wife and I rarely connect sexually. Recently I have discovered that my testosterone is quite low. However, until now I have been too scared and anxious to do anything about it. I just hope that I am not too late. I love my wife and love our life together...it is time for me to step-up and be the man she deserves and needs.

    I am sorry...I watch loads of your videos. I agree with all of the tips you usually give. This is unfortunately what I have been doing almost all of the 30 years being married to my narcissistic husband. I do not receive anything in return on his part...he just love being the recipient of all these things freely while not doing any one thing on his part. Marriage is work on both sides of the union. You can't force someone to be interested in their own marriage. He is just enjoying the part where he gets to be selfish and reap all the benefits while not bringing anything to the table.

    I saved my marriage a few times by just doing the gratitude thing daily. After 3 days usually I see a difference....it switches your mindset. Here we are 17 yrs later 😆
    The problem with the gratitude is that once you see that everything is going well... you stop to do it and after a few months/yrs.... you're back to square one 😅 so you do it again, you feel it working... and you stop....again 🙄...it's a vicious circle....

    This video assumes the spouse who filed is still "open" or vulnerable to your efforts and attempts at stopping it. There are spouses who will be glad that you're trying more and being a better "co-parent" if you have kids, because this gives them relief but will not take their foot off the divorce gas pedal. It just makes them think the process should go smoother. But their focus is always getting to the end of the divorce so they can say it's done. Then they can really embrace their rebound or start dating around and advertise the trauma and narrative about their decision.

      Draggin' Wagon, it sounds like you are doing everything that is within your control, which is the only thing you can do. My sympathies are with you during this difficult time. Would she agree to marriage counseling? You have probably thought about it - maybe even done it - but I ask because some people disregard counseling because they either think it won't do any good, or there is a social stigma attached to it. If nothing else, I would like to be on your support team. Please consider browsing around on these playlists for more information and tools:

    I'm in distress and need to save my marriage. I've been so focus on other things - work, aging parents, childhood trauma, and now being laid off, that I completely forgot to nurture my relationship. Now my husband is gone and wants a break with very limited contact. I'm determined to change the course of this downward trajectory now that I'm aware of how much I've been negatively impacting him. Although I will respect his wishes for space, I will write the 20 things I'm grateful for and share it with him when he's ready to talk.

      "Overcome Fear And Anxiety" - czcams.com/video/aihKxrypVJA/video.html

      You may also want to consider taking advantage of our free 25 minute call with one of my Live On Purpose coaches. Getting your spouse on the call would be additionally beneficial, so you could work together. If that sounds interesting, you can schedule here: DrPaulJenkins.com/breakthroughcall
      One more suggestion: I am giving away my book "Pathological Positivity" for free. (I just ask that you pay for the shipping.) A beautiful side effect of becoming more positive, is that is decreases our anxiety. If you would like a free book, please go here: drpauljenkins.info/freebook

      Thanks for watching and for the thoughtful comment, J Neptune. I agree with your statement that it works if both parties are open to it. The one about changing people's mind... I personally would tweak that just a bit: you cannot force someone to change their mind, however you can influence them to change their mind. As a clinical psychologist I have seen people change, their marriage be saved from divorce, and they thrive together.

      I believe if people aren’t willing to explore themselves this won’t work. Some cultures just don’t communicate or speak of certain things so you either sweep it under the rug or it’s total chaos. You definitely cannot change someone’s culture. Bi- cultural/ racial marriages are a different beast.

    I created an account to post, because I'm not ready to broadcast this to the world under my real name. I came to this video via direct search because my marriage is failing. I'm going to do this 5 day challenge, and it's actually not going to be that much of a change for me. #1: I've already been in this mindset for a few months. I assumed 95% of the focus for saving the marriage months ago... I've been actively working on improving my own contribution to "us" and it has not gone unnoticed. I do want her to put in more effort, but I'm not going to openly ask for her to do more... she's already doing enough. #2 Is new. I will be doing this. I'll share something on the list for #3 too each day. This part I have also been doing in some ways, except without explicitly understanding what I was doing or setting much of a clear goal. I really like the 4 ways to give. I took notes and will be keeping it in mind.
    I see our biggest problem right now is connection. I can do all this stuff and treat my wife like the queen I want her to feel like, but if there's no connection between us, it's going to fail anyway.
    I'll write the lists and step up my giving/sending/service game. I'll be back in 5 days but wanted to share ahead of time instead.

    How about a spouse who is a hoarder & was abusive during marriage? We've been separated for over 2 years & going through litigation. Sometimes, divorce is necessary when the spouse does not change or get the help he needs. This is especially crucial when a child is in the family.

      Live On Purpose TV After 21 1/2 years of marriage, 3 rounds of couple’s therapy, and reading every Gottman book available, there is most definitely a difference between “regular issues” and a marriage where one of the partners is more interested in using and abusing the other partner than in fostering a mutually healthy relationship. Conflict resolution is non-existent with abusers, they live for conflict and chaos and twist everything to make themselves the victim. Mine even figured out how to weaponize the Gottman theories and techniques against me. Ie: “Oh contempt towards you upsets you? Well then, I’m gonna pour on the contempt even more than I did before!” If you haven’t done a video on divorcing a person with high narcissistic traits, call me. Mine has been going on for 3 1/2 years now and the level to which he will stoop to lie, cheat, steal and alienate me from everyone I love-including my daughter who hasn’t spoken to me in all this time (starting immediately after we separated-after being very close with me her entire life) is mind-blowing.
