Show Notes

Feed Drop from the Ex-It Strategy Podcast

In this episode of the Exit Strategy, we are joined in the studio by the hosts of the Girls That Do Stuff podcast, Sarah Madras and Jenny Midgley. 

Elizebeth and Sarah talk about how they don't necessarily want or push people to get a divorce; their job is to find the best solution to everyone's problems. Although many people who have gotten as far as consulting a divorce attorney already have their minds made up.

Sarah talks about how she keeps her wedding dress on a mannequin outside her room because "why not display something that you spent so much money on." She sets the stage for walking down the hall to their bedroom to remind them of their wedding vows.

Jenny talks about her wedding day and the issues leading up to her big day.

We discuss and debunk the stereotypical roles of husband and wife and how they have evolved.

We talk about the importance of flexibility when choosing a partner and discuss the "red flags" that you need to look for in your partner before you decide to get married.

Sarah talks about how John Gottman, the marriage researcher, and his retreat helped her marriage. It gave them tools for communication that revolutionized their relationship.

Sarah and Jenny discuss navigating friendships with people outside of your marriage and their opinions about getting professional help.

We talk candidly about the seasons of marriage, what they are and how to navigate through them in a healthy way that can strengthen your relationship. 

If you'd like to hear some advice from people who have worked hard on their marriage about what worked for them, how it's not always the honeymoon phase, and how it takes work to make it work, then this episode is for you. 

You have to choose your "hard." Staying in a marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. The choice is up to you.
