Dan Martell - Divorce is a bad word

00:00:00.000 My wife and I had to get to a point where the concept or word divorce was never in the

00:00:04.840 conversation. I just watch people use it even a joking way. You know, they're at dinner and

00:00:08.960 they're like, oh my God, if you do that, I'd divorce you. It's like, I don't want to bring

00:00:12.680 that energy into my life. And what I've learned is over the years is people have a fracture.

00:00:16.940 And when they keep amplifying it with words, the fracture gets bigger and bigger until the point

00:00:21.660 where the two people are standing on the two sides of the cliff across the fracture. And

00:00:26.500 they're just too far to come back together. Whereas if they stop using words that disempower

00:00:30.880 them or create that distance, that it would actually make it easier for them to come back.

00:00:35.160 Call me weird, but words fucking matter in my life. And the language we use to describe

00:00:38.960 situations for fun or not, there's just certain things that I don't think it's worth using

00:00:43.340 in your life. I don't care how much I fight with my wife. That conversation is not to be brought

00:00:49.080 up. You can say a whole lot of other things, but we don't need to go there because the truth is

00:00:54.040 neither of us want that. And I just think too many couples are so playful or quick to fucking

00:01:00.420 go there when they're upset that it's just a dangerous pattern. Stop joking about divorce

00:01:05.120 because it quietly breaks your marriage.
