Has he said he’s close to being done with your marriage?

That’s a serious BIG red flag…

And a sign he might be about to file.

Did you know that on average, men don’t ATTEMPT suicide?

They just DO it.

Why?

Because they are done. They literally have no hope.

And if he is in a place where he is telling you he is nearly done or “things need to change” – your marriage seriously may be living on borrowed time.

What to do?

First – STOP saying anything when you are emotional!! That ONE behavior is running him off and is super immature. Let’s all grow up here (and believe me, I had my own growing up to do – this ONE thing is a game changer!) 

Second – learn how to communicate without complaint! It doesn’t work and just makes him feel like a failure – again. Men who don’t feel like they can win or are good at anything eventually give up. Yes, that can be within him, but if you keep criticizing and complaining, you are making it super easy for him to quit. There are much wiser ways to solve problems!

And whether he quits by filing or emotionally checking out – you can influence this – MAYBE instead, you win his heart again! 

There are better ways and wise women employ them – and they are Biblical. Look, I know you have been trying and are super discouraged – reach out, let’s talk! You aren’t alone and I’ve seen what miracles God can do in a marriage – including my own! 

I want that for you!
