  • WHY MARRIAGES BREAK DOWN: AND HOW TO SAVE YOURS
    Feb 5 2025

    Is your marriage facing unexpected challenges in your 40s? You're not alone 40% of divorces happen after age 40 – but even if not headed for the big D, women in their forties are bound to experience some rough patches in their marriages during this decade.

    From trying to find “pockets of peace” in jam-packed days to unlearning the tendency to “keep score” against your partner, marriage counsellor THERESA PONG of The Relationship Room helps us through some of the most common – and yet unspoken – issues that threaten marriages in midlife.

    In this episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with a registered counsellor with over a decade of experience helping couples reignite their marriages and reframe their shared narratives toward better futures. We get real about:

    ✅ How the way we were raised affects how we love – and fight

    ✅ Why it’s important to connect on our vulnerabilities, not hide them

    ✅ Whether having a “work wife” is a sign of a deeper relationship problem

    ✅ Ways to break through decades of pain and gain emotional closure

    If you’ve never heard of emotionally focused couples therapy, this episode might just be the solution you need to move forward in a happier, healthier, more balanced relationship with your partner.
