Why 73% of Divorces Are Filed by Women +: Why Social Media is Causing Divorce with James Sexton (Divorce Attorney)

What if the best way to understand marriage is to talk to the person who sees it fall apart every day? In this episode, Danielle sits down with James Sexton, a high-stakes divorce attorney, bestselling author, and the man clients describe as "the sociopath you want on your side." After 25 years and thousands of cases, Sexton has witnessed love at its breaking point + is sharing the unfiltered lessons that most couples never learn until it's too late. From prenups to cheating, social media to second marriages, he reveals what really destroys relationships—and what actually keeps them alive. This conversation goes way beyond the courtroom; into love, fragility, human complexity, and why marriage is both the riskiest and most rewarding gamble you'll ever take.

James Sexton shares:

• The biggest mistakes that lead to divorce (and how to avoid them)
• Why 73% of divorces are initiated by women + what that really means
• The shocking truths about love, sex, cheating, and forgiveness he's seen firsthand
• Why your spouse's social media feed might be the biggest threat to your marriage
• What "high conflict" divorce really looks like (and why most divorces aren't that)
• How money complicates marriage
• The simple but overlooked practice that could save your relationship
• Why every marriage ends in either death or divorce
• What second marriages teach us about doing it right the first time
• Why James believes love isn't permanent…it's on loan
