The Most Eye-Opening Conversation on Marriage & Love You Will Ever Hear (From #1 Divorce Lawyer)

from The Mel Robbins Podcast · host SiriusXM Podcasts

Mel calls today’s episode one of the most moving, meaningful, and transformational conversations ever to happen on the podcast.  She says it is THE most important relationship advice that she has ever heard and you will ever hear.  Today’s guest, James Sexton, is a world-renowned authority on relationships, but coming from a perspective you may not expect.  He’s the author of the bestselling book How to Stay in Love. But he’s also one of the top divorce attorneys in the world, which means for decades he's had a front-row seat to what makes marriages thrive – and the reason why marriages fall apart.  He’s going to tell you most breakups don’t happen because of something catastrophic. They result from all the little mistakes over time that everyone misses.  Today, he’ll teach you what those mistakes are and convince you that a few small changes are the secret to creating a lasting and loving relationship.  And unlike most relationship advice you’ll hear, his advice isn’t theoretical. It’s built on what he’s seen thousands of couples do when it’s working… and when it’s not.  You’ll learn: -How you can save (or strengthen) any marriage in 10 minutes a week -The #1 thing that leads to infidelity (it’s not what you think) and how to avoid it -How to tell if your marriage is over -The reason relationships and marriages fail -How to argue in a productive way -How to tell if you’re in the wrong relationship -The habits of all successful relationships If you’re single, this is what sets the foundation for a healthy relationship. If you’re in a relationship, this is what allows it to deepen, strengthen, and evolve with you. If you’re suffering from a breakup or a divorce, this will not only make you believe in love again, but it will also give you the road map to create it.  This is one of the most important conversations that has been had on this podcast to date. Mel cannot wait for you and everybody that you love or have loved to experience it.  For more resources related to today’s episode, click here for the podcast episode page.   If you liked the episode, check out this one next with Mel and her husband Chris: How To Create Better Relationships: 6 Surprising Lessons From 28 Years Of Marriage Connect with Mel:     Order Mel’s new product, Pure Genius Protein Get Mel’s newsletter, packed with tools, coaching, and inspiration.
