Did you know?
It matters who you hang out with.
And not just in a professional sense, though also true –
How does the saying go?
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
You know that one.
It matters on a personal level also.
For you as a couple, as individual people, even as a family – it matters.
If you value marriage, and you are on of those couples who said – divorce is not a thing – not for me, not for you —
We don’t take that lightly.
We don’t joke about it.
It can’t come up sideways because it simply doesn’t come up.
If that all is TRUE for you, surround yourselves with people who do also.
Who believe the same thing.
Who align with you on this.
I’m not saying don’t be friends with divorced people.
That’s what I mean.
But some of you tell me – ALL of our friends have gotten divorced by now.
And I get it.
It’s hard.
Ever since it started, that wildfire hasn’t stopped spreading.
The divorce rampage I mean.
So I understand that it can be tricky.
But if you two are aligned, sayin gto each other (and in your heads):
“We are trying to hang on still.”
Hang around the people in your life who are there with you.
Those who also say:
Divorce is JUST not an option for us.
And if, as you read this even, you are shaking your head vehemently, thinking — Literally all the people in our life, that’s where they are, divorced —
If this is you, here’s what you need to do.
You’re going to need to go out there in the world and make some new friends.
Not even kidding.
It will be good for you.
And it will strengthen your sense of belonging and your sense of tribe.
Both at the same time.
