Maybe It's Time to Get a Divorce and a New Relationship, Hear Me Out!

EP 258: Maybe It's Time to Get a Divorce and a New Relationship, Hear Me Out! (Ildiko Solo Episode; Becoming Unshakable) ENTREPRENEUR PARENTS PODCAST Hosted by Dan Caldwell and Ildiko Ferenczi What if the key to saving your marriage isn't leaving… but starting over with the same person? In this deeply moving and hope-filled episode, Ildiko Ferenczi invites couples to "divorce" the old version of their relationship, the one that drifted into distraction, and begin a new one built on curiosity, forgiveness, laughter, and God-centered renewal. From restaurant tables where families are scrolling instead of connecting, to the quiet truth about emotional neglect and repair, this conversation blends therapist-backed insight from the Gottman Institute with biblical truth from Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 13.     Buy us a Cup of Coffee. ☕️ ❤️ If you enjoyed the content think about supporting the show.  Your support keeps these conversations alive.  We Appreciate You! http://buymeacoffee.com/Entrepreneurkids You'll learn how to: ✅ Rebuild emotional intimacy through daily check-ins and curiosity. ✅ Break the cycle of bitterness with forgiveness rituals that invite God into your marriage. ✅ Show your children what real love and repair look like in action. ✅ Heal emotional distance with humor, grace, and presence.
