I’m a child from a broken home. Most marriages in my family have been unsuccessful. They either got divorced or fell out of love and became mere cohabitants for tradition’s sake. As bad as this may sound, I think it has helped me to do better. I have seen what works and what doesn’t. The most successful marriages are the partnerships where each give and take and work together. The ones that haven’t worked are where one or both feel like they’re working harder than the other.
J Lyons I’m also from a broken home , my own marriages abs relationships have failed - I took the responsibility and made some harsh choices along with lots of self development and I’ve managed to stop the patterns in my life from repeating themselves- you can too
A big thanks to Dr Ogbefun i never believe that there still exist a real death spell caster after all this years of disappointment from the enormous spammers on the Internet who go about scamming people, until i was opportune to meet Dr Ogbefun a real spell caster, through a close friend called Jennifer who Dr Ogbefun had helped before, when i contacted him with his email via ogbefunhearlingtemple@gmail.com i explain how my ex have been giving me problem in my marriage, she never allowed me a moment of peace, and i need to end it by killing her, and i don't want to make use of assassin because it will be risky so i needed to do it in a spiritual way that's why i decided to contact him, he assured me not to worry as i have contacted the right person at the right time, i co-operated with him and in less than a week my ex was dead, she slept and never woke up all thanks to Dr Ogbefun indeed he's really a humble man. you can contact ogbefun now via Email ogbefunhearlingtemple@ gmail. com call or add him on whatsapp +2348102574680
Guys if you are not doing it to have and rise kids... (aka taking one for the team and bring up the next generation of people) DONT GET MARRIED... there is nothing in it for you but hardship....
I'm from the exact opposite, but I feel like I agree with you completely and took away the same lessons. My parents were happily married for 26 years right up until the day my mother passed away. So much of what worked for them was that they communicated about everything, shared various household responsibilities, and respected each other. I've also seen a lot of marriages in my family fail. Sometimes it's that they got married too soon and realized they made a mistake, or they were fighting every five minutes, or one felt taken advantage of in one way or the other. More often than not, I'd see them keep score. Even when it came to things that weren't responsibilities, like gifts, they'd go back to their spouse and say "Well I did this for you so you have to do this for me!" or "I don't have to take out the garbage; I got you flowers yesterday, remember?" It all felt so petty. There'd be a fight every few minutes, yelling so many insults I wondered how they stayed married when it was clear they didn't even like each other. Fights were about winning more than they were reaching a healthy compromise. In the end, it'd tear them apart within just a few years. I feel like in many cases there was a mixture of unrealistic expectations, one feeling like they gave all the time while the other took, and a need to always want to keep score. I'm sorry your parents' marriage didn't work, but hopefully your life is better off for it. I'm not married yet, but I'm hoping that when I do find the right person, I can apply all I've learned and have a happy, healthy marriage.
I guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
She’s basically saying that marriage doesn’t just “happen” and things just “work out.” She’s saying that people have to be mindful, honest, and upfront about the relationship/marriage/commitment they are making. Communication is everything. The way you plan and prepare for “worst case scenarios” for like finances or losing a job, you gotta talk about and plan for the end of a relationship and in this way you avoid it happening. Relationships are extremely intentional
Um... yes, but she kept bringing up "a marriage mediator" in every scenario because it wasn't just about a couple communicating and planning, but rather bringing in an expert who knows how to facilitate that.
@@millyuan - that depends on what you call a 'successful marriage'. My parents are still married and in their nineties. That means over 65 years of marriage! As their eldest child, that marriage is a sham because it was full of violence and hatred which meant that all of the offspring have been casualties of that marriage. It's not just about what each brings to the table. It's not just as simple as that.
@@thehorsebackheroine5950
I think you have misunderstood me. I never said that long marriage and or simply staying together is the ultimate goal or indicated any sort of validity. Just take a moment and look over what I said above carefully. If two people care for each other even in the slightest, even when life happens because they care they can an will work through it. However one person can't do it on their own, both must care for each other. …and they must also care for themselves also. CARE. Ultimately you either care or you don't care.
1:06 it means men are always wrong for women, 8:51 get better at hiding money, 5:49 act selfishly in marriage
@@thehorsebackheroine5950 I know all about it. And I avoid traditional marriage at all cost. In some countries, divorce is not even allowed. Or it might be bound by religious code. I cannot tell you enough what damage there is when it is a mismatch.
However, if there is free choice, the divorce rate is rampant, as if the game of marriage is to get divorce and see who scores higher. Lol.
I'm glad I didn't get married to the person I dated for 5 years. 2 years of reflecting later I realize tons of things about myself and my ex that I could never have realized during.
Love is quite blind indeed.
From a sheer outsider's point of view, could it be that you've been.
strengthening the prejudices ?
I literally had listened and re-listened to this video endless number of times in order to understand further. This is not to complaint. But to compliment that you have shared with us a wisdom
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
@Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum Too Good 😊 TQ dear
@Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum I'm from India
What about you?
Marriage sucks
Amen!
Please watch my audiobook summary
So talking about divorce before marriage, counter intuitively strengthens the marriage
“Sometimes the things we do out of love can be the very things that make it hard for that love to last” that part.
I read this as i watched it in the video
@@fuquplz9983 me too and started crying. Saddest irony in a love relationship, huh.
@@fuquplz9983 Me 2!
Does this mean her talk becomes less interesting, and we start exploring the comments section?
My mom said "When there's more me than we, the marriage is over."
So true your mother never wrong
Your mother is a wise woman
works for some, i think majority, but there are people who live happily married thanks to the distance and individuality they maintain.

do not live the ideas of your mother... make your own path... sometimes you have to accept, what your mother could not...
Divorces should serve as the best examples of the saying "learning from your mistakes"
"If you wait until it's broken it's too late" - clearly this woman has never heard of the word 'mend' a relationship?
@Anne Day I am talking of the impressison she gave. That you cant possibly fix the broken relationship you have to give up
@@paloma4444 True, true!! --- 'That you can't possibly fix the broken relationship you have to give up.' It is not about what the speaker said, (I just skipped over it.) It is a matter of reality check, or what you want your life end up with!
yep i definitely learnt the hard way.....my dumb ex husband left me in debt, gambled and flirted with our life savings, in my next relationship i won't subscribe to the idea of setting up a joint account, I've learnt the hard way.
The private investigator that helped me with evidences for my divorce settlements later confirmed to me that my credit score has taken a huge hit as a result of series of late payments and over drawn bank accounts. Y3llowl4bs agents offered me secured cards with a simple way to keep up with the payments and credit reporting to the major agencies so as to get my credit back up...2 months in and I'm saying its all good from this side .
My wife waited until our new home was built, and we had sunk 350k in cash into it (from a previous home sale) to tell me she was unhappy and wanted a divorce... and that she wanted to keep the house. I went into the build thinking, this is great, this will be our forever home. If I had thought defensively we would be renting instead.
We can’t win man.. my ex (recent) almost feels like the first example she used.. waited till she graduated college & filed for it, while I just got us an new apt & she kept it.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I wholeheartedly agreed with you. As a divorce coach I've seen so many things that don't work in relationships/marriages and most failed ones typically follow certain patterns. It's crucial to spot these common pitfalls early on as the survival the relationship depends on it.
Nice one.
This is so true. Especially, " sacrifice should be a fair exchange".
*There’s no such thing as a free child care*
That stuck with me
It’s like what I remember from adventure time:
“Responsibility demands sacrifice.” -P.B.
No doubt!
Moral of the story : *Pre plan Divorce before Marriage*
correct!
@Xeno Phon Marriage is apart of religion dude first off so if religion goes marriage goes. And divorce needs to be stigmatized because the divorce rate is very high nowadays. People like you are the problem.
I guess you are trying to be funny. But yes. You need to understand divorces before getting married.
Its like taking a loan from someone and not asking what happens if you default on the loan. Might be good to know whether someone will repo your car or break you kneecaps.
I watched the video, I couldn't understand anything so i had to check comments. LMAO if you are planning just to divorce then don't get married. That's why divorce rates are high.
Marriage is a partnership. This is a great talk thanks 👍🏽
Your life partner is everything! DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENT!
Yes, choose your life partner carefully and use your brain to make that decision not other parts of your body.
Understanding narcissistic personality disorder would prevent bad marriages and reduce the inevitable divorces.
I agree with you!
Indeed
Yessssss. Another great video or three to watch would be any videos that describe narcissistic personality disorder traits that present them selves while dating … and sometimes you can sense signs of NPD popping up in their texts before you even invest in a phone call to hear their voice… I was married to a narcissist and it has taken me over 5 yrs to figure out what happened to our family … thank goodness for RUclips therapy and now I can help our kids to not hate their dad, but to begin the healing through understanding different personalities… no hate - just educate yourself…
And usually those of us who have been conditioned (usually in childhood) to be codependent with blurry boundaries will pick these abusive narcissists.
I learned the hard way.

@Free Speech Pretty sure that social media or the internet in general has killed the idea of relationship/commitment/marriage all around... It's just too damn easy for people to swipe on to the next person, crazy world we live in for sure! There are many aspects of this present world that my soul does not quite vibe with 🤣
If I may... Any red flags apparent during that first year of the relationship? Sorry, I have my own future relationship plans in mind.
@@theoutlook55 There were several red flags, but I did not even recognize them as red flags until much later. They were mostly centered around little ”white lies” that seemed like nothing at the time and were easy to excuse or overlook, but were actually signs of much bigger mental/emotional/behavioral problems the person had.
For example: he would lie about what he had done that day, say he had stayed home all day even though he may have gone out to run errands or something innocent. I wouldn't understand why he would lie about something so small, but he would explain it away as if he just forgot to mention it or didn't think it was worth mentioning. Then I would later find out whatever reason he may have really lied, like running in to an ex or something stupid that shouldn't be an issue to a normal person, but to him was something to be kept secret, even though nothing happened between them.
Also, I had to explain to him every detail of every second of my day without hesitation or I was instantly called a liar. He was very jealous and wanted to control every moment if my time. If I was not at work, I was expected to be sitting by him, no matter what.
He had outbursts of anger regularly as well. Come to find out, he can't control his anger at all really and will blow up at the smallest things. He had more control in the beginning of the relationship and promised to work on it but it only got worse with time.
Basically, anything that feels like a red flag to you should NOT be ignored. No matter how small or insignificant, it will most likely lead to bigger problems. UNLESS the person respects your opinions and feelings about it and changes their behavior that seems toxic. Every little thing I felt uncomfortable with or felt weird about ended up being a major issue that led to our overall demise. Trust your gut!!
@@cyndihunter6022 Thanks so much. Yeah, those are big flags. I'm lucky to not have have any of the ones you mentioned in my relationship.
Sorry to hear what you are went through.
What's the hardest thing you are dealing with now ?
Can i ask how you've tried to heal ?
Anything you've tried isn't working ?

The new way to look at marriage, Nice video thanks TED
Only when you are more concerned about what you can do for the other person than what you can get out of a relationship with that person will you have a successful and happy marriage. As a matter of full disclosure, my wife and I are perfectly matched in our respective second marriage. Funny, our experience appears to be the same for our first (round in stupid and immature decisions to marry) spouses respectively. Good TED talk counselor.
I can't help but draw a parallel to a line from Frankenstein,
"To examine the causes of life, we must first have recourse to death,"
So to figure out what works in a marriage, you look at divorce... Not very romantic if i'm being honest and not a first date conversation starter.
Yes and that’s why there’s so many divorces because people don’t talk about divorce causes and solutions enough, don’t go through pre-marital counseling, and don’t use a mediator throughout the marriage
Romance is appealing, yes, but all the tricks of romance presume that all parties involved are on the same page & are working with a common unspoken script. That's why for example we have all these weird cultures that get created in every generation around dating & other kinds of wooing: the structure brings predictability & comfort because everyone has an agenda they can refer to & rate a partner on those criteria while making decisions. Today, with the traditional rules being largely discarded, it becomes an individual responsibility to make active considerations about what they want their relationship to look like & that needs clear & open communication. You can't just expect your partners to read your mind.
"If you want to Understand what Makes a Marriage works, you should think about how a Marriage Ends"
I waited for that second husband many years, the struggle was terrible that I'm still stuck. Next life for sure.
Grate information!
I concur with this video.
Thanks
It’s a shame that we hold on to & dwell on the negative things in a relationship & seem to quickly forget the good. Also, people / friends should never encourage someone into a divorce. That’s not cool guys…. Also it’s never over until it’s over. Until you lose complete respect or you are unable to forgive, then you know it’s over…
I think encouraging someone is important at times. Like if they're in a mentally or physically abusive relationship.
@@penny4thought168 It's not your marriage, so don't break up a marriage that isn't yours.
@@TechWeLove Nah. I'm gonna help my friends and anyone else who's in abusive situations or they're unhappy.
You stick to keeping your mouth shut and enjoy watching your friends get hurt, I'll stick to helping mine.
My inspiration
Totalmente de acuerdo ,es para siempre
Interesting perspective
Is it possible to be committed to one person and not get married? Both sides benefit if successful. If they break up, all they lose is time and effort.
If a successful marriage, both benefit. If they divorce, one benefits(at least financially). More pressure to stay together. More misery. They lose time and effort. High risk, high reward. The odds aren't always in your favor.
If you can commit to each other, you are on top of a marriage. But unfortunately, if there is no traffic light, there will be even more chaos and casualty! I think a boot camp training for marriage will be good so people know what it is all about the real battle!
@@chevyboy9525 BMT(Basic Marriage Training) lol

Chevy Boy the responsibilities scare me, but it doesn't mean I won't face them haha. I'm just being honest about how I feel about relationships... and life in general haha
Now I understand divorce this much better. Thank you
I was literally just randomly looking at divorce stats😅 the coincidence is real.
For the record it was a computer with no known connection with my own

Great talk.
gooD~~~ thank you~~~ :-)
In a nutshell: think about marriage in terms of the contract that it is ... What are you willing to sacrifice in exchange for the expected benefit from the other party?
sacrifice v fair exchange, no free childcare, yours becomes ours! 3 golden rules to remember BEFORE getting into marriage ✌
Wow your very EXCELLENT my frnd..you have a huge big Family at YT world..i love you my frnd...
Sacrifice just a simple word. but? really not simple for the human life.
Thank You
Growing up with divorced parents i dont understand why the government and or church need to be part of a couples life.

Men, do not hesitate for one moment to put a restraining order against your female partner if you feel your safety and health is in jeopardy. Placing a permanent restraining order on my female partner was absolutely the wisest protective move of my adult lifetime. My only regret is not doing it years earlier. Men, be safe!
What if you have them, you prepare, you have an emergency plan if there is an issue but then when it came down to it nothing went as planned she refused to attend counseling. Little did I know she took our child and filed for divorce 30 days before I was “served” divorce papers :(
Great info
These pre-marriage decisions depend on a pre-existing balance of power in the relationship.
This is a prominent thesis about life in North Amerca. Overall, it involves more than this. Wealth and power cannot negotiate that mysterious thing called Love. And I am not a believer of 'Soul Mate'.

Hello dear
Keep God at the center of it all. Faith (prayer) and Works (daily loving out loud and through actions) are key.
No luck in marriage. You are lucky if you can find one. Tried my best, but just frustrated. ..
This seems to need to be reframed in the context of fairness and respect, and not demanding too much of the other person.
The word divorce has heavy connotations that are probably dangerous to the emotions that bind the relationship. You can just say "These are the kinds of things that lead to divorce, so how could you use that knowledge to avoid going down that path?"
The marriage mediator idea... It'd likely need to be someone who knew you two well for quite a while, because understanding people's values (that they themselves might not understand) is not that easy.
We know because we’re all human. And we all have a relatively human experience.

I think we need to go back to the original meaning of sacrifice. If sacrifice is being mindful of future events then is it really sacrifice. In today's society where everything is about fairness.. it's no wonder divorce rates are at an all time high.
So she's basically saying "Get yourselves a lawyer and sign a marriage settlement"...
Nah, it's more along the lines of: think about your financials before marrying and decide on a system that works for you both
Not really, is more about looking at each decisions (mainly the big ones) you make throughout your marriage and carefully and honestly ask yourselves if it's fair for both of you... Because really... Fair is fair
@@michelemeka4540 Ah but each party has a different point of view based of there own need that they deem fair from there unique perspective . Hopefully both parties are not equally stubborn and hopefully the more sacrificial one doesn't become passive aggressive and resentful . Used to be that a wife relocated when her husband had an employment opportunity but what do you do when both jobs are important ? Be nice if everything were logical and straightforward but relationships are messy ...
Wonderful and useful information. Way too many camera angle changes, almost made me dizzy. Too bad the editors could not calm down! Try just listening and not actually watching...
Financial support I need now hahahahah

It sucks for those who got married and end up in divorce. I’m sorry guys… that’s why am scared to get married
Supporting divorce as a path to learn to love or know how a happy marriage works is a No Sense. Why don’t you just work and learn when you are married and renew your own marriage? You have a marriage not to break but to learn and grow from challenges. Is not a game and the ones who work hard staying will see the fruits.
Not when only one partner wants to work on it

Don't marry too late or too early, and you can manage it easier
Or as I like to say don't marry at all, I am a lone wolf and always have been, I'm a person who enjoys my freedom, I feel marriage as a tie down as true freedom cannot be attained, reason for this is because if you don't marry in the first place you and your partner will not be corrupted or tainted with the man temptations and blame that's usually always associated with marriage and then only becomes a statistic. I always walk the path of the lone wolf and will continue to do so until the day I die, also marriage is only a piece of paper, if you truly love that person then be with that person, not because what laws or state dictate or define what a marriage truly is, no law can stop me or anyone else taking a partner in life. Wolves abandon their young after a certain while for a reason, so that way they can find their own path and their mate in life and no law governs them as they are truly the pinnacle of freedom!
@@ericcornish1983 I know both sides of the corn. Let's not associate freedom with marriage. People like to challenge that. For the religious marry vow devotees, that is their choice. Freedom is irrelevant to them. For the lone wolves, more power to them, because they understand life in its essential nature.
When the cage door is open, the bird chooses to stay in. Contemplate on this ... with gentleness but not meanness ...

People who can marriage are so lucky.
Yes or No. It is a trade-off. Not being cynical. It is a life long project, a contract with contingencies, known and unseen. The key is maturity before marriage, but unfortunately, often the reverse is the case. Time would not wait. Haste is dangerous.
Those who are married often envy the single. Those who are single envy the married. It is melodrama in general. It can be a fulfilment if you make a choice consciously knowing life is a personal deed but not a religion. There is no such thing as better than or lucky or not lucky. There is no lucky charm or worship for this one!
It is a kind of symbiosis that requires give and take, respect, sacrifice, genuine compassion for the partner.
If 'who can marry are so lucky' means they haven't treaded on the landmine (not as yet), then they are truly lucky! Of course, I am trying to do humour here, no offence. Let's have a good laugh about everything that is 'happy ever after'!

Im on my way to have sleep. But this wakes me up. Uhhhhhh
Cool video. Unfortunately, my 2 year relationship ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me. I still love him so much and can't stop thinking about him. I've tried my very best to get him back in my life, but to no avail. avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of him, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss him and just can’t stop thinking about him
It's difficult to let go of someone you love. I was in a similar situation when my 12 year relationship ended. I couldn't just let him go, so I did everything I could to get him back. I sought the help of a spiritual counselor, who assisted me in reuniting with him.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach him?
His name is spiritual oluwabola, and he is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked him up now online. impressive
Funny because in my country you marry with Al your assets separated and it will stay that way until you day differently.
Also mairrage is a give and take and communication is key the moment when you feel like resentful towards him or her because of sometimes you agreed on in the first place then just be open about it and find a solution both to be happy with. There is still time to fix but as long as you open about it.
I think if assets remained separate, for the whole marriage, then divorce would happen less, because there would be less incentive to take 50% of the other person's assets. I wouldn't mind seeing examples of where that worked, cause it sounds great.
I m not in love or married yet i don't need this video now
Ha ha. Good wordings. Not as yet.... It is good to galvanize yourself before the spell of love sap your power. Bless you, when the time comes for whichever it might be!
easy fix that will bring down divorce issues by 50%. make marriage vows legally binding(outlawing divorce) men and women alike will be FAR more picky who they choose and will have help from their parents who with experience have a greater bs detector. And in turn, far more marriages will be more coordinated and not made spur of the moment, which means marriages will more likely be healthy

This marriage advice is not about saving a marriage. It's about saving anything related to monetary means.
Adam Driver on Marriage Story and Star Wars every 4th May:
"May divorce be with you"
"I want to take things slow and talk about the serious things from the get go like
1)children - do both of us want them in the future?
2)what you can expect from me
3)what I'm looking for
4)what you're looking for
This way we can avoid deal breakers but people just want to "keep it casual" and "have fun". I am not looking to "have fun" and just "bang". I want a partner in crime. "
Everyone else:" that's why you're single bro "
I worked in family court. No fault divorce is the problem.…People are weak willed and selfish. You know what those divorced families had in common? Lack of communication, no shared goals, no shared core values, and none went to church consistently. The only warranted divorces were at fault divorce (drug addict mother or DV father) ..no fault divorce makes it way too easy to give up.
so, what´s the point of getting married? makes no sense
Marriage is not for everyone. You get married to signify that you and your significant other has become one(in a sense). You get married for love. But remeber love is not a feeling its a choice. You choose to love this person during the good and the bad. Love is hard work and there is no denying it. With the right person its worth dping all that work. But if you marry someone because of only a feeling it wont work. And if you dont want to put in some work in bettering the relationship then its best for you to stay away from it
@Tyler Trobaugh Well there are many reasons that people dont feel like they are made for marriage because of all the stigmatism. Marriage has been built up to look like it would only affect your life badly. I mean we could go on for ages about how the "social norms" dictates people to live their life a certian way and if they dont they failed in life. People arent made to be pushed in a box. And most people view marriage as being put in a box. So the sad reality is that everything is screwed up in some way or another. Maybe within the next 100-125 years the social norms would shift and people wont be so narrow minded
Wonderful Ted talk! However, how do you stop women and recently men from operating from the point of hypergamy in relationships and marriage???
