One of the hardest decisions we can make is to dismantle a marriage when there are children involved.

On this episode of the podcast, we uncover how to make the decision of whether to stay in or leave a marriage because of the kids.  We also discuss:

• 1:34  How do I make accommodations for my needs and my children's needs at the same time?

• 6:15  Grief and acceptance in a relationship
• 8:28  An old flame is coming into town.  How can I have a safe conversation about hurt feelings?
• 14:37  Discerning someone's role in our life
• 17:23  The importance of exhibiting care
• 20:45  The difference between caring for someone's well-being and taking responsibility for it
• 23:31  What words can I use to calm down a charged situation?
