 How Do I Know if My Spouse Really Wants a Divorce, or Is Just Angry? 

If your spouse says he or she wants a divorce, it can be hard to know whether it’s real or just anger talking. In this episode of Reconciling Marriages with Coach Jack, you’ll learn how to recognize when divorce talk is a warning sign—and what to do before it becomes final. Coach Jack explains why some threats are actually desperate attempts to reconnect, and how the right response can turn crisis into renewal.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why some spouses threaten divorce even when they don’t want one
  • The difference between emotional reactions and real divorce intentions
  • How resentment and low interaction erode connection over time
  • What steps you can take to rebuild love, trust, and value in your marriage
