Marriage is a sacrifice. I hear this often. Do you believe that?

Before you answer, consider the definition of sacrifice.

“An act of slaughtering an animal or person or surrendering a possession as an offering to God or to a divine or supernatural figure.”

Ok, maybe you’re not actually slaughtering an animal, but…

Are you slaughtering yourself for a divine ideal?

Most men I talk with say, “What do you mean, divine ideal?”

And so we talk more. They tell me about the state of their marriage.

How they don’t feel connected to their wife. There’s little sex. Very little respect. There’s tension in the kitchen. Stress at the dinner table. And anxiety in the bedroom. The list goes on.

Eventually I ask him and I’ll ask you…

What keeps you in your marriage?

Pause and consider it for a moment.

With most men, I discover that, unbeknownst to him, he’s got divine ideals.

Divine ideals, for which he’s slaughtering himself.

Slaughtering his needs, his wants, his sexuality, and even who he is, to stay married.

Can you relate?

Do you stay in your marriage for divine ideals?

I can’t be alone.
I don’t who I’d be without her.
I can’t afford a divorce.
And most common of all, I stay married for my kids.

Really? For the kids? That’s great. But is staying stuck in a compromised marriage really of service to your kids?

You don’t think your kids are wondering, why aren’t mommy and daddy happy?

I know I was asking myself that as a kid with my parents, as were many of my clients.

What if you had a healthy marriage that really benefited your kids?

A marriage that modeled what you’d want them to be in someday?

Or even a divorce that honors the entire family?

Discover what’s really best for your kids in the video below.

Stop falsely sacrificing for your kids and start thriving with your family.
