Mark became furious when his wife, Mindy, had an affair. “He’s a jerk!” Mark fumed. That “jerk” was doing the things for her that Mark used to do before they were married. Mr. Jerk made Mindy feel beautiful, desirable and loved. Mark was very much in love with his wife. Unfortunately the only time he showed her that side was when he was in the mood for sex. Even then it was nothing much but raw passion. He wasn’t able to save his marriage.

One of the most successful businessmen in the world is notoriously unsuccessful at marriage. Donald Trump has consistently failed at marriage while he excels at making money and building his empire. He only cares about saving his relationship with what he truly loves – building, acquiring things, and accumulating riches.

I was reading in an advice column recently the lament of a man who asked, “Why do girls go for the bad guys?” He was a good guy, according to what he said.

Joanna was angry when she stalked up to us after a seminar with her husband trailing behind her. “Our marriage is in trouble because, frankly, Tyler won’t talk to me. If he ever does open his mouth, it’s only about him. He’s just like my dad. He wouldn’t talk, either.” Her husband’s response was, “I can’t get a word in edgewise.

Alexis’s rise in her company was fairly rapid given the glass ceiling atmosphere that permeated it.

She came to us at the point that her marriage had crumbled and the faade was destroyed.

When he was introduced to Hailey, Ryan knew that she was the one. She wasn’t as gorgeous as a few he’d known, but that was all right. She was attractive, intelligent, and easy to get along with. She admired and respected him, too.

Some people feel that if they never live with someone outside of marriage, it’s okay to divorce if their expectations aren’t met and then get married to someone else. Modern culture has created a throw away attitude to marriage and difficult relationships. If the second marriage is a bummer, then how about a third – and then a fourth and so on?

V:3 I’m jealous of my wife. There’s no reason for it. I know I’m going to lose her if I don’t quit.

Here is a wife who’s using an old standby weapon. Her husband wrote: My wife withholds sex as a punishment in order to get her own way. What can I do about this?

Jake was rough, tough, crude and rude; but he was in love with his wife. “She used to have the hots for me, you know?” he said. “She loved that I was a bad boy.”
