Most People Don’t Want Divorce—They Just Don’t Know What Else To Do
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever found yourself wondering, "What else can I do?"
In this episode, Christine shares a powerful insight from a recent marriage roundtable that challenged the way she thinks about couples who are struggling. The speaker made a simple but profound statement:
"Most people don't want to get divorced. They just don't know what else they can do."
Together, we'll explore what happens when one spouse is leaning into the marriage while the other is leaning out, why traditional marriage counseling isn't always the right starting place, and how gaining clarity can sometimes be more important than finding immediate solutions.
If you're feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure of what your next step should be, this conversation will offer hope, perspective, and a reminder that there may be more paths forward than you realize.
In this episode you'll learn:
• Why some couples struggle to engage in marriage counseling
• The difference between fixing a marriage and finding clarity
• The three paths explored in discernment counseling
• How self-reflection can create movement when you feel stuck
• Why many people considering divorce are actually searching for hope
