Should You Keep Trying If Everyone Says Your Marriage Is Over?
Reconciling Marriages with Coach Jack – Podcast Episode

 On this episode of Reconciling Marriages with Coach Jack, Christian psychologist and relationship coach Dr. Jack Ito helps you make sense of conflicting advice and emotional overwhelm. If you're questioning your path, this episode will help you evaluate whether giving up or pressing forward is the most loving—and effective—choice.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why most advice you hear (even from counselors) isn’t helpful
  • How to handle pressure from family or friends who want you to divorce
  • How to avoid the two biggest regrets people have when deciding whether to keep trying
  • Why changing your approach matters more than holding onto hope
