In today’s episode, Kylene and Patrick discuss what ingredients are involved in a healthy marriage. These include:

1. Liking each other as friends
2. Emotional support for each other
3. Playing on the same team
4. Being willing to apologize and take responsibility for your own behavior
5. Freedom and safety in every aspect of the relationship

After betrayal and through addiction recovery, couples have a real opportunity to start from scratch, taking anything that was healthy and good before, and rooting out anything that’s unhealthy while they create something brand new together.

Today, Kylene ad Patrick discuss how these pillars helped them in their relationship and why they believe they are foundational for health in any relationship.

This week Kylene and Patrick discuss 3 mindsets that will set you up for success in recovery and how those impact the betrayed partner and the addict in their journeys.

1. I am more than my circumstances
2. Healing is possible for everyone, but requires change and change is uncomfortable
3. There is something better that is available to me

Today’s episode is a speech that Kylene was asked to present about overcoming adversity. She shares some of her own story as well as 3 keys she notices helps her and others move through painful experiences: Value, Clarity and Courage —> Knowing who you are, getting clarity on the future, and having courage to take steps towards it.

She shares these 5 truths:

1. You are not responsible for the behavior, reactions or thinking of others.
2. You are responsible for your own behavior - show up with integrity every day - if you can go to bed at the end of the day and say - I did my best - that’s all you can do
3. Mistakes are ok when we take responsibility for them
4. You are more than your experiences - in other words, negative things that happen in our lives do not have to become our identity
5. You are worthy and valuable just as you are - because you exist - and you don’t have to accomplish anything for that statement to be true.

In todays episode, Patrick shares his thoughts on 3 important principles for a sex addict to remember in recovery:

1. It takes time - don’t expect your betrayed partner to recover from discovery quickly. There are many factors that play into their ability to heal and everyone’s relationship and trauma level is different. Healing and relational reconciliation is a lifelong commitment.
2. Demonstrate consistency so you can create safety for your partner.
3. Be proactive. Make sure your motivation comes internally - your spouse shouldn’t have to push you to move through your own recovery.

Sometimes divorce isn’t just admissible, it’s beneficial. When a relationship hinders one or both parties from moving forward in health, divorce may be the best choice.

Kylene and Patrick know that there are many reasons that a couple may struggle with this decision including faith based guilt, internalized people pleasing, financial reasons, children etc… This is an nuanced conversation, and one that a single episode certainly will not cover in its entirety.

We are not here to tell you what to do. Instead, we are sharing some situations where divorce may be the healthiest option (outside of abusive situations which we do not focus on in this episode).

We hope this episode takes the pressure off, lets you take a deep breath and know that if you are heading down the path of divorce, there is nothing wrong with you. A relationship takes TWO people fully committed to work.

If you are listening to this episode and struggling with this decision we are sending you so much love.
