102. Life-Saving Divorce: An Interview with Gretchen Baskerville
Tracy interviews Gretchen Baskerville author of the book and blog "Life-Saving Divorce." Gretchen has been a visible critic of the "Reconciliation Industrial Complex" and Christian evangelical marriage retreats in particular. She's followed up with participants of expensive marriage intensives and found that the vast majority of people are divorced within the year. A stark contrast to the "your marriage can be saved in a WEEK" promotionals.
Tracy and Gretchen discuss the victim-blaming and spiritual abuse surrounding divorce and the resources that focus on shaming people, especially women, into staying married all at costs.
