How Do You Save a Marriage?

Love, marriage and commitments are the topics today as I begin this show with a post I wrote in 2019 from my blog called ‘How to Say No to the People You Love’. Because sometimes we just have to in the name of self-care, now don’t we?   My guest is none other than the well-respected marriage expert Lee Baucom. Host of one of the original marriage podcasts, Save the Marriage, he really has a GREAT perspective on how to have a healthy, working marriage—even AFTER the times get tough. God Bless Lee! There is some awesome wisdom here…   Among other things, we discussed: Why do marriages get into trouble? Does your advice apply to only marriages or any kind of long term relationship? What exactly happens that puts relationships into trouble? What about affairs? Is being in love enough to keep a couple happily married? Should every marriage be saved? What if one of you is more into saving the marriage? How to actually leave a marriage in a healthy way What about midlife crisis in marriage? Do we have soulmates… is that real? How much does self-care play a roll in healthy marriage?   Honestly, I could have talked to Lee all day. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Much love!   Suzanne     RESOURCES   Suzanne’s essay, How to Say No to the People You Love   The Extremely Busy Woman’s Guide to Self-Care, Suzanne’s book   Lee’s website     OUR GUEST Lee Baucom calls himself a “recovering marriage therapist.” When he realized traditional counseling does little to help hurting marriages, he set out on a journey to figure out what DOES help. That led to the creation of his Save The Marriage System, along with a number of books, programs, and a podcast. Lee has helped couples restore their marriages around the world. His podcast, The Save the Marriage Podcast, has now been downloaded over 4 1/2 million times, and over 75,000 have used his program.
