do you have a program on TBN?
Yes, this show is broadcast on TBN, currently Wednesday mornings at 5am Pacific time / 8am Eastern.
Oh, Mark, Mark, Mark, MARK!!!!!!!!! I love ya, pal, but do you know ANYTHING about abusers & the abusive mentality?!!!!!!!!! The person who is the husband of the person in that second e-mail is a plain-as-day abuser & you are telling her to “accept that he likes things done a certain way”?!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!! What you should have told her to do was go to her local bookstore or library & pick up a copy of “Why Does He Do That-Inside the mids of Angry & controlling men by Lundy Bancroft.
Then you should have told her to, after she reads it & studies it VERY carefully, sit him down & lay down the law with him that he needs to check his butt into a VERY high quality abuser program yesterday!!!!!!!! This is a VERY clear case of an emotionally, if not physically, abusive relationship & I can not believe that you glossed over it as normal marital conflict!!!!! I would appreciate not only a response but having my posts be the subject of a future episode as I found this disturbing!
landyachtfan79: hushand in the second letter might not be an abuser.
Women tell men all the time how to men should do things.
Sawman85 – It is a case of ABUSIVE EXPECTATIONS (Look up the term). He likely feels like he is doing good by telling her how things can be done better, but really it’s not helping and is not aware of how she feels about his suggestions.
This feels more like a case of a couple failing to communicate. The woman has yet to tell her husband that this behavior even bothers her. How is he supposed to know that something is wrong when she hasn’t told him?
It’s not nessesarity ABUSIVE EXPECTATIONS as you put it. The husbond is telling her to do it a better way. I have told my girlfriend to do things a better way. I show how it’s done a better way. It’s not an unresonable demand. It’s not different then me showing a person how to solve a math problem in a faster way when they are doing. If it’s a better way to do it, it’s irrelevant what way it used to be done or how it made someone feel.
If you always want to know how people feel about something, not much will ever happen.
If you feel like driving your car in 1 gear all the time, I will tell you to shift gear. I wouldn’t really care how you felt about it. But I could also give you a reason, if you wanted one.
I’ve enjoyed the shows so far, but I must also say that there’s a point here Mark seems to be missing: people change. The person you dated at age 20 may not be the same at age 37.
My wife never cared about animals when we met, but now has 4 rats, a rabbit, guinea pig, a cat & a dog – to my chagrin.
Sometimes aren’t always that easy and black & white. There are additional factors that make life a little more complicated…
Nothing the Lord couldn’t help us handle, but still… there’s more!
As a former Perfectionist myself… I have to say you may need to sit yourself down and realize that you need more info about Abusers then just a single book… and stop being paranoid.
No body has the absolute true. And this is one of the best tools to help marriage.
And specially dating for the young people
abuse is abuse no matter how you look at it.no one has the right to abuse you.it took me awhile to realize i was being abused cause it wasnt physical. i now know what was really going on back then and now,just not as bad.plus we are once again separated and the divorce is in the works but on hold right now. he has gotten better but has so much to prove to me and a long ways to go before i consider letting him back in.i have no trust in him right now.he wants to come back and i keep saying NO!!!

I work in television, and I love the idea of this show, but I don’t think Debbie was a good pick for this. She doesn’t convert well to television and her stature doesn’t compete or add any spice to what Mark is saying. She seems awkward, unnerved, and insincere. It’s good stuff. But at times hard to watch.
Maybe the man writing to them forgot to mention that maybe they are childless? Could be the reason.
