I’ve seen it so many times. A marriage is slowly, slowly, slowly moving apart. Then, suddenly, it is ending! Slowly, then all at once.
A recent survey from a divorce attorney group showed the central dynamic of marriages ending: they slowly drifted apart.
You may not need a survey to tell you about this threat. I sure didn’t. I’ve seen it over and over. Nothing drastic or sudden. Just slowly disconnecting. Slowly drifting apart. And slowly failing.
Maybe you hit the Pause Button… and didn’t know how dangerous that can be!
Maybe it was easier to just ignore the little issues… the ones that are much larger in the face of disconnection.
But either way, the ending of a marriage just starts slowly, imperceptibly… until one person finally “can’t do it anymore.” And then, the crisis is deep. Deeper than you knew.
How does it work? I cover it in this episode of the Save The Marriage Podcast. Listen below.
