Should I Stay or Should I Divorce? The Truth About Marriage, Disconnection & Difficult Choices
Manage episode 481590530 series 3551815
This episode of the Finding Love Podcast is a deep, vulnerable conversation for anyone navigating a breaking point in marriage. If you're emotionally drained, questioning your commitment, or struggling with unmet expectations—this one is for you.
We open up about what really happens behind closed doors, from emotional detachment to the invisible weight of resentment, and how the culture of instant gratification has altered our view of marriage. This is not a how-to, but a heart-to-heart about the power of love, loyalty, grace—and knowing when it’s truly time to walk away.
🎯 Watch this if you’re asking:
*Am I doing everything I can to save this?*
*Is my marriage worth fighting for?*
*What if I'm tired of repeating myself?*
*What is divorce really going to solve?*
