With You in the Weeds

The Road Away From Divorce Pt. 2


Listen Later

Are you concerned that you’re on the road to divorce? Maybe you and your spouse have fallen into unhealthy, frustrating, and toxic patterns that leave you wondering if your marriage can work. Now what? 


In this episode, Lynn, John, and Austin discuss the following patterns you can practice on your own and as a couple that can change the dynamic of your relationship:


On your own:

  1. Have a funeral for your marriage  
  2. Pray and journal
  3. Take the “Love Style” quiz
  4. Get a support team
  5. Evaluate your conflict patterns

  6. As a couple:

    1. Evaluate your conflict patterns
    2. Practice a soft start up
    3. Learn how to repair after conflict
    4. Take a break when needed

    5. This is hard work, and it won’t happen overnight. But if and when you, and your spouse, are able and willing (the key phrase!) to practice these together, we’re confident that you’ll be on the road to better and deeper connection.
