Is separation the best scenario for saving a marriage?

No.  Many times, a separation ends up being a "dress rehearsal for divorce."  Living separately creates patterns of separation.  Connection becomes more difficult.

But is it all for naught?

Not necessarily.

For a number of episodes now, I have been answering questions from listeners (you can email your questions to podcast@savethemarriage.com).

In this episode, I answer questions from 3 listeners about their separation concerns:  building connection during a separation, dealing with relationships that develop during a separation, and how to rebuild trust after a separation.

If you are struggling with a separation, whether before, during, or after, you need to listen in to this episode as I address the struggles with separation.
