Description
We continue with listeners’ questions on the Save The Marriage Podcast. And in this episode, I pull together a central 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.

How Do You Know If Things Are Improving?: Phil asked, "How do you know you are making progress?" And perhaps fearing that the signs point the other way, he also asked, "how long is long enough to be trying before it is unhealthy for me." Those are two great, if somewhat polarized, by The Save The Marriage Podcast
