Why Christian Couples Still Divorce — What They Missed Before It Was Too Late

Wives usually see it coming years before husbands do.

Not because men don't care — because nobody trained either of you to notice contempt, criticism, or stonewalling building for years before anyone calls it quits.

If you've ever wondered "what am I missing?" — this episode is for you.

In this episode, Sherman and Semise Daley take on the myth that's let too many Christian couples down their guard: that a "Christian" marriage divorces at the same rate as anyone else, so faith alone will hold it together. It won't. Practiced, shared faith does — and Sherman and Semise walk through exactly what that means, backed by the research and by their own story of missing the warning signs before they knew to look for them.

What we cover:
• The real numbers behind "Christians divorce at the same rate as everyone else" — and the one factor that actually predicts a lasting marriage
• MRM's External / Internal / Philosophical framework — the three levels every "sudden" divorce was actually building on for years
• Why wives identify 7 of 13 warning signs as things getting worse over time — and husbands identify only 1 of 13
• Contempt, criticism, defensiveness, and stonewalling — and the Scripture that named them centuries before the research did
• Why counseling cuts divorce risk by roughly 31% — and why only 1 in 4 Christian couples ever ask for it
• 3 practical steps to take this week, before it becomes a crisis
