06 Aug 2024
Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"You get married, you don't even get a pamphlet. This is the most legally significant thing other than dying that you will ever do legally and you don't get any information about what just happened." - James SextonJames Sexton, a seasoned divorce lawyer, delivers a wake-up call to couples everywhere, exposing the startling lack of preparation most people have when entering marriage. With brutal honesty, he reveals that despite being one of life's most consequential decisions, marriage comes with less guidance than buying a house or signing a will. Sexton's insights, forged in the crucible of countless divorces, challenge couples to confront the harsh realities of long-term commitment before saying "I do."Drawing from his unique vantage point, Sexton advocates for radical transparency in relationships. He urges couples to seek out uncomfortable truths from divorce lawyers and long-married couples alike, shattering the polished façade of social media-perfect relationships. Sexton's approach is both pragmatic and revolutionary, comparing relationship maintenance to preventive car care and dental hygiene. His message is clear: by addressing potential issues head-on and committing to ongoing "relationship maintenance," couples can build a foundation strong enough to withstand the test of time.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!
