Guest host Shaun is stepping in for his wife and regular host, Dana Che, who is under the weather helping a husband to know if he and his wife should tell their kids their marriage is in trouble and that they're considering a possible separation. Shaun delivers Dana’s thoughtful response, providing practical advice on how parents can approach difficult conversations with their children and emphasizing the value of seeking coaching before making any permanent decisions about separation. Key Topics Covered: Only discuss separation with children when a decision and plan are definite, to avoid creating insecurity. Since the kids are already aware of tension, address the arguments with honesty, take responsibility, and reassure them. Use this as a teaching opportunity: model healthy ownership of mistakes, and avoid putting adult worries onto children. Strongly consider seeking marital coaching before proceeding to separation.
