• How did your broken family and abandonment from your father play into that?
• What percentage of performers in porn come from divorced or broken families? It’ll shock you

For people like us from divorced and broken families, love and marriage can be extra scary. After my parents separated, I swore, “If this is where marriage leads, I want nothing to do with it.”

But thankfully, love and marriage aren’t doomed to fail. Marriage isn’t easy, but it can be beautiful and joyful. More importantly, it can help you grow into a better, stronger, and more virtuous person. 

Today, we’re joined by a married couple to discuss all of that, plus:

• The struggles they’ve faced within their marriage, especially around unmet expectations and brokenness
• The joy and beauty that they’ve experienced in their marriage and family
• What topics you need to discuss before you get married

• How anger, overeating, and lots of activities became his coping mechanisms
• How his parents’ divorce has affected him differently in different chapters of his life
• How much should parents tell their kids about the divorce?
• What he’s done to heal and grow, and how his life is better now

At a young age, Jack learned he had an incurable disease. That naturally brought lots of physical and emotional pain into his life. But through that suffering, the lessons he learned and the transformation he experienced led him to say, “The thing I wish most never happened, I am most grateful for.” 

In this episode, we discuss what led to that transformation and more:

• The bitterness and loneliness he felt and how his life looks now
• Our tendency to “replay” the trauma we’ve endured and what to do if you feel stuck
• Why we need mentors in our lives to guide and challenge us, but also to help us see our blindspots
