#283 A Gap Year in Marriage

A gap year in marriage — an intentional, agreed-upon extended period of time apart — might sound unconventional, but for some couples it can reveal whether the connection is still there beneath the routines and patterns, and whether love is strong enough to survive separation or whether the relationship has already ended in everything but name. In this episode, we explore when intentional space might actually help a marriage, what gets revealed when you step away, and why the clarity that comes from separation — even if it leads to divorce — can be one of the greatest gifts a relationship can offer.
