The Save The Marriage Podcast

Staying Together for the Wrong Reasons??


Listen Later

I’ve been answering listeners’ questions on the Save The Marriage Podcast.  And in this episode, I pull together a repeating question about “Should we stay together because of this Insert Bad Reason Here?"
Several people told me they were still married, just for the sake of the kids.  Several told me that their spouse was still there because they could not afford to separate, much less to divorce.  And some told me they stayed married just to avoid having to hit the dating scene.  And then, there is that anxiety of “what will people think?”  So, they stay together.
But is that enough, they ask?  Should they only stay together for these “wrong reasons?"
You can make a perspective shift and use those “wrong reasons” to get you to the right place in your relationship.
I cover 4 ways to get there in this episode of the podcast.
