After 24 years of marriage, Jason is sharing a perspective we do not hear nearly enough: what divorce looks like from the man’s side.Jason admits that before he ever got married, there were red flags he saw and chose to ignore because he wanted the marriage to work and wanted to build a life different from the examples he had grown up around. In this candid conversation, he opens up about family tragedy, infidelity on both sides, ministry, parenting, emotional disconnection, power struggles, and the years when he and his wife eventually became more like roommates.He also shares what finally ended their marriage, what it was like watching his ex-wife remarry three months after their divorce, and why the experience left him afraid to give everything to marriage again.Jasmine and Jason talk about relationship red flags, being equally yoked, Christian marriage, dating after divorce, discernment, choosing the right spouse, and why even the right relationship has to be intentionally nurtured.Jason also shares what he would tell his younger self and his sons about dating, priorities, character, prayer, and allowing God to guide one of the biggest decisions of your life.This episode is for Christian singles over 40 who are divorced, dating again, considering remarriage, or trying to understand what healthy marriage should actually look like before saying “I do.”🎙️ Interested in being a guest on the Saved & Single Podcast?https://www.savedandsinglepod.com📩 Contact / guest inquiries:[email protected]📱 Follow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/savedandsinglepod
