191: Your Marriage Isn't Broken, It's Paused feat. Dr Lee Baucom
The Pause Button and the Myth of Sustaining Love
Lee Baucom explains the "pause button" phenomenon where couples divert energy from their relationship to focus on careers, grad school, or parenting, assuming their love will sustain itself. He challenges the common belief among engaged couples that they will beat the 50% divorce statistic simply because they "love each other more" than others. The segment emphasizes that momentum from the honeymoon phase eventually fades without active maintenance.
