Episode Overview
- Emotional and financial abuse should be recognised as grounds for divorce.
- Traditional wedding vows may perpetuate unhealthy relationship dynamics.

- Societal attitudes towards marriage need a significant shift.
We need to move the red line to encompass emotional abuse, financial abuse, and intramarital sexual abuse.
How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Matt and Sheri Salis challenge conventional marriage norms with a provocative discussion titled 'The Divorce Rate is Too Low.' With their candid approach, they argue that society needs to redefine the 'red line' in relationships, especially when it comes to emotional and financial abuse.
They propose that these forms of abuse should be as unacceptable as physical abuse, urging for a shift in societal attitudes. Matt shares personal anecdotes, shedding light on the subtle yet harmful behaviours that often go unnoticed in marriages. He reflects on his own experiences, admitting past mistakes and emphasising the importance of respect in a relationship.
The episode pushes listeners to question the traditional wedding vows and consider the benefits of prenuptial agreements, not as unromantic tools, but as essential safeguards for emotional and financial security. The Salises' message is clear: to foster healthier relationships, we must recognise and address emotional abuse with the seriousness it deserves. Their engaging dialogue invites you to reconsider what constitutes a healthy marriage and challenges you to think about the true meaning of commitment.
By the end of the episode, you'll be left pondering whether it's time to move those societal red lines and embrace a more respectful and realistic approach to love and marriage. So, are you ready to rethink what makes a relationship work? Dive into this eye-opening discussion and see where you stand.
