I Should Have Listened: What I Learned From My First Marriage

🌐 https://www.lifestyledbysparkle.com In this heartfelt and reflective video, I open up about my personal experience with divorce and the valuable lessons I learned from my first marriage. As I look back, I realize that there were many relationship red flags that I ignored, and I often found myself carrying my partner in the marriage, which ultimately led to its end. I share my story as a woman veteran who has been through a military marriage and divorce, and how I had to navigate the challenges of being an ambitious woman in a relationship. Through my journey, I discovered the importance of being equally yoked and having a marriage alignment that works for both partners. If you're wondering when to leave a marriage or struggling with the decision to stay or go, my story may offer some insight and guidance. I also talk about the process of starting over after divorce and finding a second life, which can be a daunting but ultimately liberating experience. Tune in to hear my thoughts on intentional relationships, marriage not working, and how to recognize the signs that it's time to move on. By sharing my experiences, I hope to help other women who may be going through similar struggles and offer a message of hope and resilience for those looking to start anew. 💻 CONNECT WITH ME ONLINE: 🌐 https://www.lifestyledbysparkle.com 📸 Instagram:   / thesparklelee   🎥 TikTok:   / thesparklelee   If you found this video helpful or inspiring, LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE as we journey together. 🫶🏽 Share your thoughts below—I’d love to hear from you. 🔔 Don’t forget to hit the bell icon to stay updated. #divorcestory #divorcesupport #divorced Time Stamps: 0:00 — The divorce nobody saw coming 1:43 — Meeting him in the military 3:22 — The pastor wife's warning 6:11 — The prophecy at dinner 9:47 — Having our son 12:34 — When I saw the difference 16:08 — The decision to end it 21:53 — What I know now 26:19 — Advice for women in the valley
