When Is It Time to Walk Away? I Married the Wrong Person part 2
Manage episode 479889045 series 3349632
We examine the complexities of troubled marriages, challenging the idea that couples should "stick it out no matter what" while offering guidance on when to fight for your relationship and when boundaries might be necessary.
• Understanding the difference between pursuing happiness versus finding fulfillment and contentment in marriage
• Why staying together "just for the kids" often creates more trauma than healing
• How to approach your spouse about relationship struggles without blame or shame
• Setting healthy boundaries when your partner refuses to work on the relationship
• Recognizing when safety concerns might necessitate separation
• Moving beyond the "did I marry the wrong person?" question to deeper relationship insights
• Finding the courage to work through brokenness together for stronger connection
