Iāve been married to my childhood sweetheart for 33 years. My husband, a young attorney, was convicted of a felony for transferring $3,500 to a bank account - trying to move from a firm to his own firm. This was 20 years ago. We ended up losing our house, cars and going bankrupt. We had no alternative but to get through it, along with our four young children. For a short time, we had to use food stamps. Eventually, I got a teaching job and my husband got the courage to deliver pizzas. Now he uses his computer science degree and works for a small start up company. We still struggle to earn a big income, but we are so proud of our marriage and our kids are happy and productive, leading meaningful lives. It can be done. Keep looking forward. ā¤ļø
As always, Peterson is right!

I'm still single, but I finally understand marriage thanks to listening to Peterson and studying religion. When you marry someone, you are making a promise, and here it is: "I'll sacrifice for you. You'll sacrifice for me. We'll tell each other the truth. We'll show up for one another. We'll make each other better. We'll make the community better. We'll make the world better/bring glory to God."

The truth hurts, 6 years after divorce, still struggling financially, and relationship with children changed for ever, despite believing love for them would see things through. This clip should be shown the first time any type of mediation is implemented, but also throw in the guilt you feel for the rest of your life, knowing what your children go through. Mr Peterson I really respect your clarity and no nonsense insight to many things. Please may you continue.

My divorce came about because when I asked goals and priorities questions during our dating I got all the right answers... Because those were the answers her hyper strict parents had raised her to believe would leave her indelibly happy and "full". Then when those answers (a kid, marriage, housework) left her feeling less than fully happy, it was all a lie in her mind and she changed course leaving my daughter and I high and dry.
The sad truth is people change and some people don't actually know who they are or who they are going to be and can have their own self deluded enough that they can actually tell a lie without knowing they are lying.

I literally chose my spouse based on knowing that we would so everything in our power to make our life together work. Yes we are in love but we work on it. Life has sooo many unforseen circumstances that the only thing we can control is how we choose to act. True romance has more to do with two people willing to put in the work. Anything else is temporary.

Yes! I always viewed my marriage as dating with paperwork. Not those exact words but in my own muddled way. And I did whatever I wanted. But my wife did not. She was truly married. I had a truly committed woman in my life and didn't even know it. Too blind to see the gift I was being offered. We divorced. My fault and my biggest regret

My view is that most trauma that people carry is relational. Which means you can only work through it in relationship with others. So if you quit every time the going gets tough, you will never grow or heal. The challenge is being lucky enough to find a partner who is as equally determined to persevere and grow as you are no matter how tough it gets. Divorce is important so that people can escape genuinely abusive relationships, however.
