And even though it strikes me as a little bit cringy and selfish now, I remember having the thought a week or so later: Figures the New York Times would reach out to me, and then the biggest news thing ever would happen, ensuring that no one will ever give a shit about some divorced idiot writing things on the internet. BUT. Seriously, he’s right on the main points. He really is. And he does take care to stroke the male reader’s ego a LOT, which, while it can grind on my lady nerves, hopefully will make his necessary and actually very useful advice more palatable to the men who probably need it most. (A LOT of- you’re not a bad guy! You’re a really good guy, like I am! Society failed us! How could we know?) The end of a marriage can creep up on you. Some people don’t even realize what went wrong until the marriage is already over.

Matt Fray bravely takes us on a tour of the male brain in relationships and how we can become our own worst enemy. By doing so, he reveals why we (men and women) get it wrong so often and what we can do to fix it. The truth is that when it comes to complex matters of the heart, we often don’t take the time to recognize the role WE play in conflict, and too often invalidate each other without truly understanding how our actions impact the person we love. This Is How Your Marriage Endsis the book we have been waiting for – an entertaining, honest, and truly practical guide for saving our relationships.”— Justin Baldoni

One of the things I found most interesting from the book, but also in general is the Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory Scale. These two psychologists studied how different life events stressed people out differently. The number one stressor: is the death of a spouse. The second highest stressor is divorce. Which, is actually the death of the spouse but they are still alive- and so are you. I kept my day job until I could afford not to, then I took the leap in late September 2020 to be a full-time book author and relationship coach. This is a must-read for people in any stage of a relationship, whether it's near the beginning or nearing the end.

Yeah. I, uh, hope I don’t, I don’t Filtered through the lens of his own surprising, life-changing experience and his years counseling couples, This Is How Your Marriage Ends exposes the root problem of so many relationships that go wrong. We simply haven’t been taught any of the necessary skills, Matthew explains. In fact, it is sometimes the assumption that we are acting on good intentions that causes us to alienate our partners and foment mistrust. P96 One of the greatest lessons from divorce and adulthood has been the realization that unintentional pain and unintentional trust betrayals will end your relationship as surely as intentional ones will, only slower. How many of us have heard "well I spoke with my friend about you and she says you are acting like a jerk" He invalidates the request / tells his wife why she is wrong (e.g., it makes sense for me not to put my cup in the sink or “why does it matter? Is this work getting upset over?”)

I personally thought this was a great book on relationships that everyone should read--while some of its advice and reflections may be broad, they can be profound with deeper application onto one's own life. To preface, I have never read anything in this genre before; I don't even like reading books in the 'self-help' section. But one day at work I was about to shelve this book and I hesitated. The title seemed to jump out at me with relevance. Ok, first of all YES IT IS REPETITIVE. I don’t know if he was just chopping and pasting pieces of blogs or filling space or if he really believes men need to hear the information twenty times before they get it (but what do I know? Maybe they do?), but it repeats itself so much.
