In today’s world, the statistics around marriage are sobering…
Nearly 41% of first marriages end in divorce.
About 60% of second marriages and a staggering 73% of third marriages also end in divorce.

Don’t Stop There
I strongly encourage you to seek additional help from licensed mental health professionals when appropriate.
