Summary
My guest this week is Quentin Hafner. Quentin is a Marriage and Family Therapist who works with couples and men in his private practice in Orange County, CA.
In this episode Quentin and I dissect the biggest question of all:
Should I Stay or Should I Go
In the course of this conversation we cover:
- Quentin's 6 non-negotiables in a relationship and what they should really mean for you.
- Quentin's view of the 3 most common reasons people leave marriages—and if they're actually good enough reasons to leave.
- My view of the 3 most common reasons people leave marriages and—if they're actually good enough reason to leave.
- Why the fact that 68% of second marriages fail and 73% of third marriages fail really matters to the choice ahead of you right now.
- Why 69% of marriages are ended by women, and what men can do to not be a casualty of that.
And MUCH more!!
