1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Buggal up, Hold on tight, we gotta call you here.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: It is jaw Berry Letta. I know subject kind of

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: manage TOI save my marriage. Dear Stephen Shirley, I've known

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: my husband for twenty years and we've been married for

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: three years. He cheated on me multiple times with multiple women,

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: but I'm standing by my wedding vows. I always prayed

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: that the Good Lord would see us through his infidelity,

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: and now we're rebuilding our marriage. Not many women would

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: be as forgiving as I am. Having said all of that,

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: I still have plenty of good sense, and I've reached

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: my limit on foolishness, So you can only imagine how

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: I felt recently when my husband asked me for a threesome. Yes,

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: he asked me more than once to have another woman

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: join us in the bedroom. He said that it will

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: keep him from fantasizing about other women and having the

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: urge to cheat. I told him he needs profession, final help,

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: and a better relationship with the Lord. He told me

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: that I need to obey him like I obey the

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: Lord and give him what he wants. Like I said,

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: I stand by my vows, and I do submit and

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: obey my husband to an extent, but this time he

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: has gone too far. The God that I served would

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: not condone this. I don't want to lose my marriage,

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: but this man may need more than I can give him.

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: Please help me figure this one out. Wow. And as

26
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier, Steve will not be responding. Tommy will Jesus,

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to I can, okay? All right? All right?

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: Well you know what you ask for us to Please

29
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: help you figure this one out. I think you know,

30
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: in your heart of hearts you you already have this

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: figured out. You know what the deal is. Uh, you

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: just want Steve and I to confirm it for you.

33
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to ask yourself wedding vows aside

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: for a second, why are you still taking this, this

35
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: cheating and these ridiculous requests from your husband? I mean,

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: why are you still standing in all of this? Your

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: husband is disrespectful, he's selfish, uh, and has obviously no

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: regard for you, your marriage or your marriage vows. Just

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: because you've known him for twenty years and have been

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: hanging in there, it doesn't mean you can't put his

41
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: trifling but in his place. Let him know how you

42
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: really really feel. Just like you told us in the letter.

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right. Not many women would be as

44
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: forgiving as you are. Uh so many women are, though,

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: But I you know, this is a lot. Twenty years,

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: he's been cheating on you with multiple women, and you're

47
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: still there. I mean, I just don't know how much

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: more you think you can take. I mean, or are

49
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: you willing to take? Why are you willing to take this?

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: You don't have to. You don't have to. There is

51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: nothing in the marriage vows that say you have to

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: stay here if he's cheating on you like this. This

53
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Um. You know, like I said, I think

54
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: you've figured this out on your own. You know what

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: to do. You just want Steve and I to confirm it.

56
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: If he continues to do this, you gotta get out

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: of this. I think you made a good suggestion. He

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: does need professional help and a better relationship with the Lord.

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: Having said that, Tommy, you're up, glad you finished with

60
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: the Lord. Obey me like you obey the Lord, obey

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: me the same way. What do the biles say? What

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: do they say? Ana and obey? Don't they say that? Yeah?

63
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: A lot of women don't keep those in there, though,

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: but but they but so you can't just take out

65
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: what you want. So let me say this to you.

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Get some old people in this room. I didn't ask

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: for it, and ask for it now I quit flirting

68
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: with other women. If you do what, get some old

69
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: paper in this room. I apologize for the twenty years

70
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: of disrespecting you and cheating. I'm asking you not so

71
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't have to cheat on you. We do this together.

72
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: You want to do stuff together, Let's do stuff together.

73
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Get some more people in this room. That's what I want.

74
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to your faith for a manage whatever

75
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: they called it, creo. It's what I want. Threesome. Yes,

76
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: asking you for Oh I hope she listening this morning?

77
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: Another thing. The cheating stops. And soon as you get

78
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: somebody in this room, we could do it together. So

79
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: it's okay to cheat as long as you're in the

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: bed together. This is fun, This is this is Shane,

81
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: this is ansome. Yeah, yeah, what kind of you want?

00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: What you want me to say to him? Oh? He wronged.

83
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: He shouldn't be asking you. He's down the question. Steve

84
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: is wrong for letting you do this. No, this is

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. We got to get it all out

101
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: This strawberry letter, the subjects kind of manage twice save

102
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: my marriage. Please. Let's first of all, it's a ridiculous

103
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: statement for this woman to make. She's been with this

104
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: husband for twenty years, they've been married three He's cheated

105
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: on her multiple times with multiple women. You are. She

106
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: standing by her wedding vows. She's prayed that the Good

107
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: Lord would see us through this infidelity. Now they're rebuilding

108
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: their marriage, and she realizes that not many women would

109
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: be as forgiven as I am. Having said that, uh,

110
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: and she still got plenty good sense, she has reached

111
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: her limit of foolishness. So I can only imagine how

112
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: we felt when he recently asked her for a threesome.

113
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: He asked this lady more than once to have another

114
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: woman join us in the bedroom. He said it will

115
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: keep him from fantasizing about other women and having the

116
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: urge to cheat. She told him he needs professional help

117
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: and a better relationship with the Lord. He told her

118
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: that I need to obey him like I obey the

119
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: Lord and give him what he wants. Well, the lady

120
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: then said, I stand by my vials, and I do

121
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: submit and obey my husband to an extent. But this

122
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: time he's gone too far. God I served would not

123
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: condone this. I don't want to lose my marriage. That's

124
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: a key line here. But this man may need more

125
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: than I can give him. Please help me figure this out.

126
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: It's nothing to figure this out. Listen to me. First

127
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: of all, you're the only one honoring the Vials in

128
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: this relationship. You're the only one. He has never honored

129
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: de Vials, and he's not willing to honor him. Now,

130
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: you don't really have a real marriage. You have something,

131
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: but he's not married to you. You're just married to him.

132
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Not a cold part about this dude is he didn't

133
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: ask you to have a threesome. And the reason he

134
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: told you that because it would keep him from fantasizing

135
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: about other women and having the urge to cheat. What

136
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: so you think if you bring another woman in the bedroom,

137
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: it will stop you from fantasizing about him and it

138
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: cause you not to want to cheat eat when the

139
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: whole time you in that living out of fantasy and

140
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: cheating and your wife watching boy bye, I mean for real,

141
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: are you serious? So what this man has done, he's

142
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: pulled to Donald Trump on you. He has flipped the narrative.

143
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: He actually got you thinking that it's because of you

144
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: that he's having to fantasize and cheat. And if you

145
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: wanted to stop, you would bring in a third party.

146
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: Then you would have your husband not cheating and fantasizing.

147
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: But the whole time he played living out of fantasy,

148
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: and he's cheating right in front of you, with your permission. Lady,

149
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: you're not that stupid, you can't be. And then he

150
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: keeps talking about you should obey him the way you

151
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: obey the Lord. What boy, You ain't the Lord. You

152
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: ain't even close. Here's the problem with the bringing the

153
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: woman into the marriage that's already in trouble. How do

154
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:19,760
