*Please comment and share* If you want to succeed in dating, marriage, and friendship, OR are divorced and want to know why, listen in as Matthew Fray, author of This is how your marriage ends: A hopeful approach to saving relationships, shares how our seemingly innocent behaviors we do with no thought destroys love and trust.

Matthew discusses how generally perceived innocent or benign acts in a relationship can erode and destroy trust over time. A relationship absent trust does not feel safe. More importantly, losing trust does not have to be caused by a major event. He relates the story of his marriage ending because of dishes left in the sink.

Matthew shares the invalidating triple threat in relationships: We contradict our spouse’s intellectual experiences; we contradict their emotional experience; and we defend our character and justify our actions based on what we knew at the time. Therefore, we imply that we will repeat the behaviors.

Matthew encourages us to begin to see people through their perspective. For those already divorced, he helps to understand what went wrong and how to avoid a similar problem in future relationships.
