S2 E101 - This is how your Marriage Ends w Matthew Fray
We tend to look on the bright side of things; find humour in the everyday grind known as marriage & parenting. We do this because we believe staying ahead of things allows you to control them better. We also know that not all marriages are the same, not all situations can be resolved through laughter and Divorce is solution for many couples. Fact is, about 70-percent of marriages fail, nearly half end in divorce and an additional 20-percent are comprised of unhappy people who wish they weren’t married. We believe that couples could use some help!Insert MATTHEW FRAY , relationship coach and writer (THIS IS HOW YOUR MARRIAGE ENDS) who leans on the lessons of his failed marriage and divorce to help others avoid making the same mistakes he did. His writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Sunday Times, The Huffington Post, Babble, and many more. His blog Must Be This Tall To Ride has a dedicated following and has reached millions of readers.Connect with our guestMatthew FreyBook This Podcast is brought to you by our sponsors:HelloFresh - Code: TLC16Policy Genius Let's Get Checked - Code: LAUGHkiwico.com - Code: TLC - Get 30% off your first month plus FREE shipping on ANY crate linevionicshoes.com Enjoy FREE SHIPPING with promo code: LAUGH Learn more about your ad choices.
