Am I doomed to repeat the mistakes I saw in my parents’ marriage? That question made me afraid of love—especially when I started dating. At times, it even made me not want to get married at all. And now, even as a married man, that fear still shows up.

If you come from a divorced or deeply dysfunctional family, you probably feel it too.

The question I kept asking: How do I avoid that? How do I not get divorced? And more importantly, how do I build a strong marriage?

That’s what we explore in this episode, plus:

  • Are children of divorce actually doomed to fail at marriage—or is there real hope?
  • 5 surprising predictors of whether your marriage will last—including one tip that lowers your divorce risk by 25%
  • The truth behind the “soulmate” myth—and what actually makes couples happy
  • Why staying single might not be the safe bet you think it is

If you’ve ever felt afraid of love or marriage, this episode is for you.
