I'm not sure why the video got three downthumbs.  Is it because it's a protestant pastor?
.
Good luck finding that wisdom from anybody else nowadays.  This is a problem very unique to today, and this man had quite a bit of practical advice which he was giving as someone who has professionally counseled married couples, and it all seemed very sound to me-- nothing he had to say was "based in religion" but much more in basic human psychology and the times we find ourselves in.
.
He seemed to recommend a prenup at the beginning (like a lot of fiery black speakers, he doesn't always conclude his points).  One might find that objectionable.  I'm not entirely sure.  What I would think is that if you're marrying someone and you feel that there's any reason at all to get a prenup, then you probably shouldn't marry them.  If you do get a prenup I don't think it disturbs the validity or lawfulness of the marriage, unless it spells out a clear and decisive lack of intent to marry.
.
Anyways.  Thought it was a good video.  Prayers for all the single men out there.

The nature of relationships has changed and serial attachments are now becoming the norm for women. There is their need for emotional security which if not met leads to secret planning and plotting to find a replacement. Material security may now be less important in the case of career women but she will help herself to what assets there are when leaving. Compare this to old style marriages where you honoured for life the vows that were made.

I find that many Trad clerics today do an excellent job teaching the theory, spirituality and theology of the Faith, but the practical side of things is often ignored.

Our sspx priest does not help women.  He tells them to see their doctor to get drugs.

I have noticed this trend too, more and more women are just leaving their husbands. There is a gentleman I know on facebook who's wife left him, and they have 5 children. He is a good Catholic from what I can tell on facebook and takes his faith very seriously. It is just a really sad state of affairs all around.

 You don't know the circuмstances of their marriage, so you should not presume the fault to be hers.  She may have a husband like Croix...
