My buddy heard an interview on NPR that he told me about.

NPR was interviewing a specialist in relationships. The specialist stated at some point in everyone's lives they will be wholeheartedly convinced a divorce is the only way. What they need to come to terms with is that they could be wrong. People convince themselves by turning feelings into thoughts. Feelings are feelings, they are not thoughts. Thoughts can be rationalized and accepted as the truth after thinking about it. The problem here is when people skip steps. They accept feelings as the truth, and therefore no longer keep them in check.

Thought it was interesting.
