from Doing Marriage Well · host paulb5d

It offers practical questions to decide if the issue justifies divorce, how to grieve and move forward, and ways to live well, whether your spouse joins you or not. It also explains how to give an effective ultimatum—clear expectations, a timeline, written documentation, outside accountability, and realistic consequences—while preparing for resistance and staying committed to the health of the marriage.
