Jordan Peterson: The best relationship advice

"It is really hard to fix someone who doesn't want to be fixed and there are lots of people like that." So simple and so true.

When you marry, you marry three people..the one you thought you got, the one you really got, and the one that they become after they have lived with you for a number of years.

Bad relationships cost you your most valuable asset: your time. It’s the one thing you can’t get back.

You can disagree with him but how this guy is labeled a nazi and bigot is beyond me. Absolutely ridiculous.

"When the rich get cold, the poor get pneumonia." That's a chilling thing to say now that it can be seen in all it glory and horror.

I like how he takes a second to collect his thoughts before he speaks

I love how down-to-earth Jordan is here. He talks to his class like he is having a heart-to-heart with them. I bet most of these kids aren't getting this advice from their own parents or friends.

"You like to think that you´re nice and easy to get along with but you´re not" This man is a roast machine.

Summary of the relationship advice: Don't make the mistakes that get you into stupid relationships to begin with. Try not to delude yourself any more than is absolutely necessary. When you're in the relationship, tell the person the truth and try to figure out what the truth is for you. Don't put up with any non-sense, and stand up for yourself. Aim towards the good. If you do all those things, then your relationship is probably going to work. If you're trying to do all those things and you have a partner that will not do that, then leave. It's a rare person who won't do that if they're stepped along the way properly and they learn how to do it. Not everyone's like that. You do run into people who are devoted towards mayhem and trouble. But usually a person is a balance of striving for the good and messing about in the hell. You're both like that when you start a relationship and you try to tilt it towards the good. And then you won't run into that problem. But you have to do that right from the beginning of the relationship. It doesn't take that much to corrupt a relationship so that it's not salvageable. 3 or 4 acts of infidelity, you're done. You're never going to come back from that because the fundamental element of trust has been removed. And then you can't communicate with the person because you don't know if they're telling you the truth. So a lot of the issue is don't get into the trouble to begin with.

This man is literally the biggest truth nugget thrower, in history. Keep lobbing the truth. Humanity needs this man beyond anything else.

“If an epidemic sweeps through a population the population dies from the poor people upward.”

Does your partner make you or break you, This is something i heard once that really stuck to me. If they do nothing but create a negative impact on you, leave. If you meet someone that you feel makes you a better person, well you found a keeper and you better not screw that up.

He’s a smart man. I lost about 10 years because I didn’t stick to my own boundaries.

That girl never came back from the toilet

a serious, high-quality, intimate relationship means only one thing: no secrets

When things get hard in a relationship, most people want to leave. Relationships were never meant to work from the beginning. It requires consistent communication to make it work. I play couple questions games like “Lovify”, everyday with my girlfriend to build better understanding. In this game, we had to guess each other's expectations. It has helped both of us truly understand and satisfy each other's needs 💞

I love the way Jordan says basically how stupid everyone is. Makes you think twice about how smart you think you are.

God, I can't imagine getting to sit in a class taught by Jordan Peterson. Amazing

Peterson coming in hot with cutting edge laptop technology!

Married to a narcissist for almost 50 Years. Knowing what this man just said in 20 minutes, would have changed my life. Be very sure you know who you are marrying, people have a massive capacity to show you what they think you want to see, narcissists in particular, and they never change, ever. Listen to this man, he knows. I would love to see his matrix for couples.
