Why Common Sense Won't Save Your Marriage — John Griffin (Life 2.0)

What happens when a woman trusts tarot cards, astrology, and “the universe” more than the marriage she spent decades building?

In this episode of Life 2.0, John examines why common sense often disappears when novelty begins to feel like happiness—and why a “fresh start” may not deliver the life someone imagined.

Using humor, psychology, and real relationship stories, we explore:

Why people outsource major decisions to astrology, tarot, and fate
The difference between temporary excitement and lasting happiness
How resentment quietly accumulates inside a marriage
Why agency and accountability cannot be separated
How midlife and hormonal changes may affect emotions and relationships
The myths people believe about divorce, dating, and “trading up”
Why gratitude, communication, and consistency matter more than novelty
How one impulsive decision can create decades of financial and emotional consequences

The cards may promise freedom, excitement, and a better future—but the cards never have to live with the consequences.

If your marriage is struggling, seek qualified professional guidance before making irreversible decisions. This video offers commentary and personal perspective, not medical, psychological, or legal advice.
