Divorce is one of the hardest decision a couple can face. When trust is broken and conflict feels endless, walking away may seem like the only option. But before you sign the papers, it’s worth pausing to ask: Are you basing your decision on facts—or on common myths about marriage and divorce?
At 7-Week Connection Reset Program, we’ve helped several couples on the edge of separation find a new path forward. And the truth is, many divorces could be avoided if couples had the right tools, guidance, and perspective.
Below, we’ll explore some of the biggest myths about divorce—and reveal the truths that might just save your marriage.
Myth #1: “If I get divorced, my next relationship will be better.”
Reality: More often than not, people carry their unresolved patterns into the next relationship. Without addressing the root issues, the cycle repeats—sometimes worse than before. Many people end up regretting that they didn’t give their marriage more effort, patience, and guided support.
The truth is, when you work on your current relationship, you’re not only saving your marriage—you’re also transforming yourself. That personal growth benefits every relationship you have moving forward.
Myth #2: “We have problems, but we can figure it out on our own.”
Reality: If you and your partner could have solved it alone, you likely would have by now. Problems that bring couples to the brink of divorce often require a neutral, trained perspective to uncover blind spots and break unhealthy cycles.
Working with a coach or program isn’t a weakness—it’s one of the strongest things you can do for your relationship. Just like you’d hire a trainer to get in shape, having a third party guide your marriage can be mission-critical to success.
Myth #3: “My partner said they are ‘working on it,’ so that means they’re doing their best.”
Reality: Good intentions are important—but they’re not enough. Unless your partner knows exactly what to work on and how to do it, “working on it” often leads to frustration and disappointment.
“Their best” and “the best” are two different things. With structured guidance, accountability, and practical tools, couples finally learn what real progress looks like—together.
Why Saving Your Marriage Is Better Than Divorce
Choosing to rebuild your marriage instead of divorcing doesn’t just save a relationship—it saves families, finances, and futures.
- It saves heartache and hardship. Divorce doesn’t only separate two people; it ripples out to children, family members, and friends. Kids in particular often carry the emotional weight of a family breakup. Rebuilding your marriage shows them that love, respect, and resilience matter.
- It saves money. Divorces are not only emotionally devastating—they are financially draining. In fact, they can cost ten times more than investing in a structured relationship program. Why spend more to break apart when you can invest less to build back stronger?
- It shows true character. When you fight for your marriage, you demonstrate strength, loyalty, and commitment—not just to your partner, but to your children and loved ones. It’s about staying true to your vows and modeling resilience for the next generation.

Final Thought:
Divorce may feel like an escape, but often it’s not the solution. Don’t let myths and misconceptions rob you of the chance to heal what’s broken. Before you walk away, choose the option that saves love, protects families, and creates a future built on respect, admiration, and never-ending grace.
