    I was age 28 when they divorced but before they lived separated in the same house for six years so weird/dysfunctional marriage

  2. Anointed1 on August 15, 2022 at 12:02 am

    Thanks Pastor Mark for sharing this message with us!!!

    I’m glad my parents got divorced because my childhood was terrible. I know I can do much better then my parents but I don’t want divorce to ever happen. I want a marriage just like my mom’s parents was together until death. I know every marriage isn’t perfect has ups and downs. I want only one marriage

  5. Lindstheteacher on August 15, 2022 at 12:04 am

    I think my parents might divorce after 30 years of marriage because I think my dad is cheating.

    Excellent & relevant advice.. breaking down the mechanics of how adults who grew up in divorced or broken homes will often have their perceptions & therefore their views of relationships & marriage—skewed as a result. More often than not, if there isn’t a reset or "change" in this perception, they’re very likely to repeat the same behaviors. And as you said, it creates "I’m not worthy" & abandonment / trust insecurities. Great job & God Bless you brother!

    This is not addressed enough. Thank you Pastor Mark.

  8. Therese Tuohy on August 15, 2022 at 12:06 am

    so true my parents are separated

  9. missweenieboys 2 on August 15, 2022 at 12:09 am

    Great video and so true! I am dealing with these issues and am in counseling. I will never be ready for marriage or a relationship until I deal with these issues.

    For those who have children, let us be an example of peace to them since we know our children are always looking and waatching us. It may take time for them to express percisely what they feel, but they know whats going on. They need the guidance of christ and of us. continue to grow in his word. jesus doesn’t quit, nor should we.

    This is helpful mark,thank you. My parents divorced when I was 12 am 26 now, am such a wreck and I know it. But am grateful for Christ’s death and God’s love.

  12. Z on August 15, 2022 at 12:20 am

    Amazing Video Mark so good!!!

  13. g__ on August 15, 2022 at 12:24 am

    My parents got divorced when I was pretty young, and it just doesn’t seem that I am effected by that divorce at all at this point. Maybe it’s just because it was such a long time ago that I’ve just gotten used to it.

  14. J Cooper on August 15, 2022 at 12:25 am

    Both of my parents are divorced, and I am trusting in God to help lead me through life and I have faith in him. But, as with relationships go I have found it kind of hard even though I have found someone that I not just have many things in common with but as well have had both parents divorced but even herself puts God first just like I try to do. This would be kind of a hard question to ask but when we find someone who has came from brokeness just as both of us did, how could we keep our relationship as Godly as possible even as both of our parents are divorced?

  15. Daiju Davis on August 15, 2022 at 12:32 am

    My parents were never married and my dad has been in and out of my life halfway, and even though my mom has tried her hardest to teach me what true love is and what I should do to find the right guy. You answered questions I have been questioning about my relationships and about me, and just in those 5 things I now know where I can start to fix it. I’ve been praying to god a lot lately and he just spoke through you … thank you for doing these videos I watch them a lot. You have helped me

    My kids fear how we would do the wedding day as my ex doesn’t speak to me at all and has a new partner. A lot of kids shy away from the ceremony due to this situation. Hence many live together instead. They do see divorce as excusable as it’s hard to accept that your parent or both of them have sinned when one pursues a divorce.

  17. Archangel 01 on August 15, 2022 at 12:37 am

    You have to enter marriage with the mindset that divorce isn’t an option….

  18. Living Unashamed on August 15, 2022 at 12:38 am

    People have no idea the impact of divorce, thanks for sharing.

  19. Amber Holland on August 15, 2022 at 12:40 am

    It can mess it up in a big way, i. Know because you can carry that around in you for along time , if you don’t talk to someone,

  20. The Ninth Hour on August 15, 2022 at 12:45 am

    God hates a divorce ….

  21. Saffy Esperas on August 15, 2022 at 12:46 am

    My parents are divorced for 13.5 years now. It affected me and My sister deeply. Still does because I don’t want to end up like my parents have. My mom got remarried and I now I have a brother. My dad is waiting for the one for him still before he gets remarried, so he spends time with me.

  22. Yoel Kanchelov on August 15, 2022 at 12:46 am

  25. Kyle VA on August 15, 2022 at 12:56 am

    Your video’s have been a grate help an blessing but i have a big question to ask? What about if when growing up an your patients are allready divorce, an you were stuck between the push and pull of both parents when growing up. I would say both me an my sister we’re greatly effected by this. I didnt grow up Christian but in the short time iv been, iv isolated my self from family because of the chaos it drove me into growing up. Fighting, in an out of school, drinking, an recently before my walk into Christianity almsot becoming part of a gang. These last few year’s iv been pulling my slef back together educationally, mentally, an spiritually, an trying to do so under God. Iv ran form one of the best relashinships i had when growing up when i left home. Simply because i felt like i was going to fall apart an in some way do harm. iv been on my own for four year’s now, an trying my best to walk with God. Im in the process of moiving back home, my father is now a Christian an i talk to him often, there’s a bit of pain somtimes in that, before i left we physical fought a lot, an my mother isn’t Christian, she claims to be Wiccan. But am doing the right thing by going back home an just diving into a church an slowly re-entering the family, should i allow my mom back into my life? i barely talk to her, an when i do its just a casual check in. Im 24 an i feel as if these last years God has been calling me to be who i am now, not sure where or whats next, but i would say iv come a long way, in the absence of my parties, an would have not been able to do so with out Christ in my life. But how should i approach my family?
