The Secret to Healing Your Marriage with Dr. Deb Hirschhorn

Divorce today is rampant. 50 percent of first marriages, 67 percent of second marriages, and 74 percent of third marriages all end in divorce. Why? You would think that if people were unhappy, they would figure out how to squeeze a little happiness out of that second or third marriage, wouldn’t you? But nothing doing. Why not? Perhaps the answer is that people bring their baggage from one relationship to another and don’t know how to get rid of it.

When people in highly-challenged marriages show up to counselors, they are often told it’s better to divorce than to suffer. But what if the entire problem can be turned around? What if even the worst cases – verbally and emotionally abusive people – can transform themselves from within?
