📝 EDITOR'S NOTE: At 10:22, in the hypothetical situation Dr. Joe describes about his daughter being an atheist, he wanted to add that his acceptance of what she believed would open the door for him to have a deeper, non-confrontational discussion about God. A discussion where she wouldn't be defensive.
Thank you. I wish I would’ve understood this earlier. My wife, now ex-wife distanced herself from me more and more and I didn’t take responsibility at the time until she dropped the D-bomb. After thorough introspection, it was like her pet peeves about me became more and more clear. I wish I’d have the chance to show how much I love her and how much she means to me, how hard I would work doing something about it, working with a therapist. But she was never even interested and just shot me down. Such coldness after a 15 years relationship, broke my heart and I don’t think I have ever dealt with so much heartache in my entire life. I feel like a lost fool for still loving her after our divorce a year later.
I agree about vulnerability, but there must be a time where you must examine the person's actions. The why? So to speak mainly when it comes to infidelity and playing with that kind of fire....yes be honest, but there is a such thing as consequences. That must NOT be forgotten.
God is you guys tremendously in my life to save my marriage like a few years ago and I just want to say thanks for others I just want to encourage you that you can save your marriage or you likely can save your marriage if you work on yourself and serve with unconditional love I know it must be painful I was in pain too cry out to God he heals the brokenhearted
I watch and appreciate all of your videos and have purchased some of your programs, but as nice as it sounds to be able to tell my wife about everything and be accepting; my wife is just not that way. She gets extremely upset, actually angry, when I tell her about unpleasant things. I try to be accepting of her vulnerabilities, and I have learned to stay quiet and just listen 95% of the time. But she can not do the same for me. It is just not worth dealing with her inability to reciprocate acceptance. I have had similar situations occur that you had with the waitress, but I won't even consider telling her that happened. She would not handle it well.
I get that… you might both get a lot out of looking into the stuff in the workshops. I found it exceptional in showing how to understand your partner and each of you growing new abilities in relating in these areas.

This is the WORD! Dr. Joe you and Alice are the testimony and example of God's Word 🙌 Your honesty, integrity, and transparency are admirable!
i own that same shirt. And thank you guys for all the advice im trying to use it to get her back now.
I agree. Not agreeing on having kids is a bit bigger than politics, I feel.
A visual treat-well done!

I love this ❤……this applies to having a great relationship with friends and family.
Emotional maturity most people are not there.

Thank you for sharing this
This was quite good.
She said she can't be vulnerable anymore
Just a question, can the P.U.S.H. and S.M.A.R.T. method be used with parents and their adult children?
