Is divorce a sin? What does God really think about divorce, agency, and staying in difficult marriages? In this deeply honest episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest fears many Christians and Latter day Saints wrestle with during divorce: “Am I disappointing God if I leave my marriage?” For years, many of us were taught that divorce should never be an option. But what happens when staying in a marriage begins destroying your emotional, spiritual, or mental wellbeing? What happens when fear, betrayal, disconnection, or dysfunction become the emotional climate of your home? In this episode, we explore: • What the phrase “God hates divorce” really means • The difference between sacrifice and self abandonment • Why agency matters in marriage • How fear and religious shame keep people stuck • Emotional adulthood vs emotional childhood • Patterns of betrayal, honesty, and accountability • How to approach divorce decisions with God instead of panic • Why divorce is painful, but not proof of spiritual failure • How to seek peace, truth, and discernment in difficult relationships This episode is not about encouraging divorce, and it’s not about condemning marriage. It’s about learning how to make honest, prayerful decisions with God while honoring truth, agency, and emotional health. If you’re navigating divorce, questioning your marriage, or trying to rebuild your faith after heartbreak, you are not alone.
