Renowned divorce lawyer James Sexton reveals the secrets to maintaining a healthy marriage and avoiding his office altogether! [Pt. 1/2]
What We Discuss with James Sexton:
- Marriage is statistically risky, with a 56% failure rate for first marriages.
- There's often an economic aspect to relationships that people don't openly discuss.
- People tend to fall in love quickly but fall out of love slowly.
- Constantly criticizing or trash-talking your partner, even in jest with friends, can be toxic to a relationship.
- Preventative maintenance is key to a healthy relationship. Just as you wouldn't wait until your teeth are falling out to go to the dentist, don't wait for major issues to arise in your relationship.
- And much more — be sure to tune in to part two of this conversation later this week!
