Joyce + Dave Tell All: Keys to Marriage | Joyce Meyer's Talk It Out Podcast | Episode 67 

"Stop looking for reasons to get a divorce and start looking for reasons to stay together." -Joyce 🙏

81 and 78 years old. They look so strong!🔥🔥

I really enjoyed putting Dave’s name with his face today. He’s seems like such a kind and gentle man. A man of God. 🙏

I started listening to you sometime around 1995. I hope one day in heaven you will know how much your openness about your life and marriage has helped me. I loved God but I was a mess. You taught me how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit so God could change me right in the middle of the circumstances I was in. I kept trying to change my husband and my son to make me happy and found out that God was trying to change me. I have asked God to let me have time with you in heaven so that I could thank you in person for your obedience to let God change you and your willingness to share that on cassette tapes. You have no idea what your teaching meant to me. I will always be grateful to you for being so real. Thank you.

He stuck it out because of his love for God. And she didn’t give up because of her love for God

This is soooooo good. Marriage is difficult, but with God's guidance it can work.🙏🙏💕💕

Joyce is my pre-marriage mentor and she doesn't even know it. I love her and her ministry so much. Her realness and transparency about who she is, good, bad, ugly, and indifferent is refreshing. Her and Dave are a great pairing. So much wisdom in this video! May God continue to richly bless their union.

when you fall in love with someone, you hang on every word that they say! The same thing will happen if you fall in love with Jesus!😍♥️

Dave is a true man for supporting Joyce so well.

I just love Joyce and Dave. A special lady got her special man. God brought them together in prayer and faith 🙏🙌

If they ever do a marriage conference, I would sign up. Beautiful and Anointed couple.

Jay is like my hero. Her strength in this situation particularly and her whole situation is more than an encouragement to me.

wow men like Dave❤👏- blessings on all Christian men out there who love and care for their wife as Christ loves and cares for the church. Congratulation Joyce ! you are a blessing

David is a true man for supporting miss Joyce, bless you 🥰🥰🥰🥰

God gave Joyce Meyer such a godly man. So blessed. He is a picture of the scripture which says husband love your wives as Christ loved the church. May God bless this wonderful couple with this humble great head of the house.

Dave looks like such a happy & cheerful being

When you go to the therapist,you are. asked to give the right medicine and God is the one you can depend on right away

This is one of the most honest and useful conversations on marriage I have heard! Thank you Dave and Joyce for sharing your lessons learned - I have gained a lot of wisdom 🙏🏾

I really like Mr. Dave he brings such balance to Mama Joyce ❤️

Is very hard in some seasons in marriage ,but without the presence of God is impossible, my husband and I are so different is the reason we are together, we are living the best time of our live the last 42 years of marriage,

Wish I would have heard this 30 yrs ago. My marriage is growing and rebuilding it’s been 33 yrs now married, I finally learned to let him be him and love him for him

Watching Joyce here, just shows how much she is truly everything that she shows us when she's standing on that stage teaching God's word! She is true to herself, and true to everyone else, no matter who she is talking to. Her and Dave have really turned out to be a perfect testimony of how God works peace and unity into a marriage. I enjoyed every minute of this! BUT Now, I have to mention the end!!, But, warning ⚠️ what you read next, could be a spoiler alert, if you haven't watched the ending yet!... Omgoodness!! How great was that!! She had that security box key the whole time! AND on top of that, she had the other one too!! 😂🤣😅

Dave is ideal man for her!God bless them both

He said; I’ll love you and show love to you. But it’s your choice to receive that love

Joyce reminds me so much of myself. I came from a pretty unstable family myself. And listening to this really brings hope and light to the situation. I’m so glad I came across this. My husband tried so hard to make me happy for months and I knew I was being controlling on purpose for the very reason she mentioned. I am so happy to have a man that loves me and my imperfections just as I love him and his imperfections.

Certainly helped me through my 28 years of marriage… it’s never been better. God first is the answer.. then patience and less said is best said. Learn to become like Teflon not Velcro… don’t take all so personally. Look for the good and feed it!

The way she smiles and laughs at him when he gets up to walk to the stage is so precious and wholesome!

This is such a beautiful interview. Every couple, married or planning to marry, needs to hear this message. Thank you.

Loved this episode l love Dave, he is a perfect example of a man who can love and redeem his woman more like what Christ did for us

This is so good. I had tears running down my face at times due to my own struggles in my marriage. God confronted me so much and I also appreciate this raw honesty so much.

He is a real man, he wanted to marry some one whom he wanted to help and God gave him Joyce . This is amazing ! Joyce is really lucky!

We need more of this! Watching from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪

This has been one of the best programs with Joyce Meyer! You should include Dave more often in your programs. I learned and it blessed me a lot! Thank you, Dave and Joyce for being so vulnerable and share your story with us. God bless you both!

Joyce always gives us hope in marriage, and in our lives. God Bless her, her marriage, family and ministry. 🙏❤

This speaks volume. It wasn’t about the stuff that comes along with marriage. It was about being and staying committed

My husband Frank and I could relate to Dave and Joyce. We watched this together and enjoyed it so much! We have been married 13 years. Both divorced and had baggage. I had a lot to learn and so did Frank. But with God and us listening we are still married. Thank you for being open and honest.

54 years is a long time to stay with each other with everything that went on in their marriage. I was standing up listening to this but sat down because I was intrigued by the discussion. Joyce appears to be so humble by her past experiences and realizes that Dave has been a true model and stabilizer in their 54 year relationship. May God continue to use their testimony to help others. "Stop looking for reasons to get divorce and start looking for reasons to stay together." Joyce Meyers.

God bless Joyce for her much needed transparency regarding abuse and how it make ppl act in romantic relationships. I think it’s harder when the husband is the one with rejection and rage issues because the wife can feel unsafe, and men tend to isolate and not seek help or refuse counseling. Holy Spirit can do miracles, but both parties need to be willing. 🙏🙏

I have a new found respect for Joyce Meyers now. Thus was so good but the key most of us miss is being married to committed Christian spouses. Yes, some hard things happen in life but many jus are sloppy over just living life. Lord, help me

I love the way Joyce praises her husband.

I love this couple, they are so real and transparent and through it all they love each other and continue to peruse God together. This is love n marriage goals 👌🙏

Timing is right...Holy spirit spoke to him Dave...important point

that ending story about the keys just cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣,thanks for sharing

I absolutely LOVE every podcast...but I admit that when I saw this one...my heart sunk and I thought "Oh no." 🙁 But I forced myself to watch it...facing the pain and fear...amd I'm glad that I did. 🙏 I left my husband last year, several months after he was arrested for domestic violence. I did NOT want to give up...but after years of him getting worse...and the not only physical but emotional abuse was just horrible. We went to 3 different Pastors for help, paid lots for marriage counseling, etc. Nothing worked. The night he was arrested...and months after of him not even apologizing or taking responsibility...I knew. God told me it was time to leave. I say this because I did not just "give up". I gave everything and in the end GOD was the one to lead me out. I ended up driving across country with my pets and only what I could fit in my car. I was going home to where my real family was. I ended up buying my first house and now live happily on my own. It's incredible to be free...but there are still moments I feel the pain of the "failure" of my marriage. Should I have stayed? Should I have just tried harder to make it work even if it killed me? I still question these things...yet every time that I do...the Holy Spirit whispers to me... "It's OK. It was me. This was meant to be." Like Jai...I think of marriage now and wonder if I can trust again...amd even of I believe in marriage anymore...but I do. I look back and saw the red flags with my ex...yet continued on with him. Now though...I realize JESUS is my all and I happily say that if God wants me single for the rest of life...I gladly except that. And if God has a man for me to marry...then it has to be ordained only by Him...and I will look for the good signs this time and not ignore the bad (lies, porn addiction, emotional abuse, etc.) Thank you ladies for all that you do. Ginger - keep being strong and awesome. Jai - you are so beautiful and I have no doubt amazing things are coming your way. You WILL have the last laugh with your ex...trust me. And Erin - good for you for staying...butbif he keeps making the same mistakes that hurt you...let go. None of you are defined by a man. You are all amazing. God bless!!! 🌷🙂🌳🙏

It's so nice to finally see Dave again and in today's time period!

Jai looks peaceful. So glad.

Omg I ran to this so fast !!!! Omg this is so cool .... The man behind the Wonderful wife Joyce!!! Ministries..... Yay!!!!!💕✨💕

Thank you❤ I unfortunately been through multiple doomed marriages because I wasn't healed from trauma. I've always wanted a stable relationship. Yall give me hope

Glad I’ve got someone like Dave in my life 🙏

Ok ~ I just want to age like this couple has!!!!! Amazing! Dave is 80!!!!!!

More Dave - he is so like my beloved . Bless & thank you Dave. My husband of 22 years David was my blessing 🙏 Jesus took him home July 2020 ✨

God, You are my Strength, my Comfort, my Love, my Vindicator, my All, my Shield, my Protector. 🌄

I love the transparency from all of them because people today are too proud to admit that they go through difficulty.

Preachers needs to teach on marriage according to gods word and encourage marriage counseling before getting marriage. Also preachers need to preach on singleness (which is also good and god given).

I was married to an alcoholic that verbally abused me. Wanted to control me. After a while he got physical. He said he was going to kill me if I didn't leave. He left me ,he wanted the divorce. After the divorce I needed time to heal. I was a part of a home work group call International leadership development. My upline gave me Joyce Meyer tapes. I studied the word of God.I lived alone. Then I needed a plumber. He asked me out. Now we're married.we have daughter she got married 2yrs ago and now I have a grand daughter. Thank you God. Praise the lord 🙌. Hugs.

That story about the safety deposit box keys was HILARIOUS!!! It had me rolling! 🙏🏾👍🏾👌🏾😂😂😂🖤💜💙💚💛🧡♥️💕

The last part was exactly what happens to every couple at one time or other. how to take it is what I learnt today .praise the lord 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

There’s no such thing as a perfect relationship

I was divorced after 4 months of marriage. I'm so thankful that they included that topic because so many people and churches avoid it. I prayed and asked God to help me during my marriage because I desperately did not want a divorce and add to the statistic. The thing was, I was being also being abused and God answered and helped me by allowing a divorce. My ex wanted and served me the divorce but had paid for it. I kept the car, apartment, etc. I was so bitter and angry and hurt after everything I went through. God used what I went through to teach me how to love myself and to learn forgiveness. He taught me how dangerous holding onto hatred was. All in all, I'm thankful He carried me through it but I still struggle. My worth and value did not diminish after my divorce and I'm having to hold on to that.

I like the way that Dave asked the Holy Spirit if he is handling the situation right. Instead of going to the Holy Spirit with a haughty spirit.

This was a special discussion, honest, open and had a male perspective. Thank you.

I thank God you all ! I’ve been in most all of these situations and after listening to Dave , i sent a text to my husband, I’m sorry for things i do wrong and i thank God for him everyday , it made my husband and i both smile 😊

I wish this could be a daily show it’s so great ❤️

Papa Dave and Mom Joyce, THANK YOU! This was so incredible and powerful! Ginger and the ladies were tender and sweet. I appreciate the transparency of Everyone! Please teach this more- weekly 🙏🏿. So many Christian marriages are in such need of this!! Love you all!

Dave should talk more, he has lot from God to talk

This is the man ( Joyce's husband Dave )I respected a lot because in a lot of ways I think he has helped shaped Mama Joyce to become the person she is today! I am grateful to Papa Dave for being who is, for being a very authentic person, I guess it's his cool and calm nature that complements Joyce's personality. They are the perfectly imperfect couple in a sense but wow really they are married for 54 years , congrats 🙌🙌

Thank you so much for sharing today. My husband and I have recently gone thru a rough patch and one thing I have learned is to empty my wheelbarrow every day. I think women more than men tend to fill their wheelbarrows with the small petty things and if we don’t work to keep the wheelbarrow empty it will just continue to fill with small things that are not important until one day it will tip over. We just celebrated 24 years and are stronger today than we have ever been.

I love these podcasts all of it * three women in different stages of life wow, thank you so much for everything. This episode is special 💞

Joyce supports Dave. Her love for Dave it what makes everyone else love him. I hope she is very blessed and happy. And both in their Marriage!!!!

I rarely ever comment on RU-vid but I just want to say this episode was a blessing to me. I’m 26 and found the advice and insight so helpful. Thank you all for what you do! ❤️

Thank God for strong couples like Joyce and Dave who are shining examples of faith and love for others to see! Also thanks for these “ talk it out “ videos😁. I have been married for 54 years and even with all the ups and downs, it has been worth staying together! One main issue that couples really need to work on is better communication! Thanks ❤️

The Lord really amazes me! He made 2 very special men that i know of. Dave Myers to care for Joyce and her emotional needs and Ken Tada to love and care for Joni Eariksons physical needs.. The Lord knew what kind of help these ladies needed. Of course, we are nothing without the Lord, but, these men stood by Joyce and Joni. We need more men like these.

As a male I really enjoy this podcast. I don’t listen of watch them all. But I love going deeper into the teachings. Understand women a little better 😊I always enjoy an episode about marriage featuring Dave and Joyce. A part 2 would be most welcome!

She met the right one because Jesus loved her so much and had a big plan for her life

Love this! My husband and I just celebrated 18 years of marriage (and I am sure if you ask anyone back then they would have given us 2 years tops). We have so much going on between Thanksgiving through Mid-January that by the time it's all over I just need a tiny break. My husband had his last military drill last weekend (retiring after 22 years of service). He wasn't sure if he would be gone the full weekend or not. I was so happy to get a text Saturday saying "I'm done here, heading home." Yay! He walks through the side door as I am busy painting my nails and says "Happy Anniversary". Yeah I know I looked like a deer in headlights! Hmmmm. What day is it? What is the date today. To which I said "Happy Anniversary to you too babe!" He gets me every time. I can't seem to ever remember our anniversary and he knows it! Lol. I am so thankful we got a good chuckle out it!

Such a blessing of a message not even married a year and wondering if I can make it, but God surely had this one for me.

This is one of my absolute favorites! Real team work graced by God. This is proof if you work through things you will be blessed.

Thank you for your honesty!!! I’ve been married 25 years and this message blessed my soul!! This is true marriage counseling for any stage of marriage!!

Just a few sentences and you can't tell Mr. Dave is a unique man. God bless them.

My wife is 8 months pregnant and as she was driving today, she got involved in a terrible head collision accident. Her car was pushed away 15 metres away while she was inside. I thank God she survived and the baby is okay. God is great.

I love me some Joyce, she explains God's word and it goes straight to my heart😚

Talk it out really inspires me. I love that you are all very real when discussing “real life” and how to apply God’s Word to situations. Also I now have 3 Christian friends, thank you for making me (& your listeners) feel so welcome and included. God bless you all, Sammie x

Praise God, I just love Joyce and Dave Hallelujah 😂😂😂😂😂

I love these podcasts from Joyce Meyer Talk it out

Love doesn’t keep records of wrongs . Love covers a multitude of sins.

That clip to the end with both Joyce and Dave was awesome!

This is the best I gone through the ugliest divorces and now I have Anna like Dave and I was broken and angry and he said I’m not letting you go God is helping you . Your not alone and I would cry and not understand why he was so patient and gentle and cared so much for me . God is so good🙌 Jay I know how you feel

What Jay said is very very very important I want to hear from my leaders their honesty their truth their trials and challenges

ENJOYED... I was encouraged and have hope for marriage. Always respect Pastor Joyce's testimony about her marriage to Dave. What was so refreshing about Pastor Joyce's dialogue with hubby, is how free spirit they both are. Love the panel and please take care of my rug.😉😁😉

Thank you Lord for this on time word very encouraging and open. God is Good

Dave needs to preach !!! So many “ Christian “ men judge women that have been abused and label us as “ damage d goods “ or too much “ baggage “ they will never admit it but they do , he could help so many women find a good man bc maybe these men to hear from a Real man like Dave !

Love Joyce Meyer!!! 💋 She and Dave must be meant to be!!!

I relate to Jai so much because during the ending of my relationship I was invited to my cousin's wedding. I put aside my heart ache to enjoy and have fun at a wedding celebrating their love. It's was hard but God continues to help me 🙏🏾

Thank you for the HOPE i feel in my heart 🙏🏼❤️❤️😍😭❤️❤️❤️

I enjoy listening to everyone talking about the difference they had in their marriage but yet persevered.

Such a perfect pairing. Dave and Joyce. May their future be supremely blessed. They both deserve it x

I’m so glad to hear from Dave as well. I’ve often wondered about his take on their relationship and wanted to hear more from him. I love that they told their story together. Let’s hear more from them!

Praise GOD...I thank THE LORD for leading me to watch this interview with these precious couple. GOD bless.

I’m married to my husband for 18 years and Joyce is one reason why I chose to stay in my marriage during the early years. I’m still listening to her and am learning so much from her every time. We love you Joyce.

THIS DISCUSSION HAS REALLY HELPED ME ALOT I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO CHANGE MY HUSBAND AND GET PISSED OFF WITH ALL THAT HE IS DOING I HAVE LEARNT TO LET GOD WORK ON HIM
