We'd love to have you part of this community.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Unplanned, a marriage and family podcast.

And today we are talking about divorce.

We're going to have an unfiltered, messy conversation about it.

Which is actually kind of funny because I had people submit some questions today and someone literally thought we were divorced, which is so sweet.

We're not getting divorced, guys.

We're just having a conversation about it, which I think is actually so important to have these conversations in marriage.

Because if you avoid uncomfortable conversations in your marriage, it's just going to grow like a disconnect between you.

Do you think that changes how we should advise our kids on marriage?

Like if we have a kid that comes to us wanting to get married like we did when we were 19, are we going to encourage them to wait?

Because then there's data that shows if you cohabitate, if you cohabitate, there's a likelihood that then you split up too.

Yeah.

That's what Arthur Brooks told us too.

And there's research to support that.

Yeah, you do sound like a hopeless romantic.

Well, here's the thing, babe.

We got married freaking young, but we're also nearly a decade in almost seven years of marriage.

This summer is seven years of marriage.

And so we're clearly experts in the topic.

I want to say it's probably... There's pros and cons, right?
