Dr. Laura's Deep Dive, offering new analysis and advice on some of life's more perplexing

problems deep-telling, marriage, relationships, mental health, and more.

Dr. Laura's Deep Dive Podcast Research shows that more than 50 percent or more of

In my opinion, many marriages, careening toward divorce, can be saved.

I'm not just talking about coexisting.

I really think a lot of marriages can move from a troubled state to a good one, as long

as the couple puts in the effort to make the changes.

That's more likely to happen with the proper motivation, and what better motivation is there

than the well-being of the children you've created together, or even the happiness and

fulfillment that comes from warm, loving bond between each other.

But if there are minor children in the home and there's been no infidelity, no issues

of addiction, no abuse, I think it's your obligation to find a way to stick it out instead

of choosing to go your separate ways.

Getting separate ways means destroying your kids' lives, as they know them.

Many of the marriage-related calls I get are simply about two people who have stopped

putting in the effort to show love, to show kindness to each other.

Quite often I hear, we've just grown apart, and to that I say, people do not grow apart.

They let go.
