This conversation is not about blaming men. It's not about blaming women. It's about understanding why marriages succeed, why marriages fail, and what we can learn to strengthen relationships before they reach the breaking point. In this episode we discuss: ✔ Why people divorce ✔ The rise of Gray Divorce (50+) ✔ Why many men say, "I never saw it coming" ✔ The emotional and financial cost of divorce ✔ Marriage vs. having the right relationship ✔ How men choose relationships ✔ A man's true value beyond money and status ✔ Whether a marriage is actually worth saving DID YOU KNOW? • Research found that approximately 69% of divorces are initiated by women and 31% by men. • More than one-third of divorces today involve adults age 50 and older. • The U.S. recorded over 672,000 divorces in the most recent CDC reporting year. One of the most powerful statements from today's show: "The divorce papers didn't end the marriage. The marriage ended long before the papers arrived. The papers simply announced it." QUESTION FOR THE AUDIENCE: If your spouse sat beside you today, would they describe your relationship as: 🔹 Thriving? 🔹 Surviving? 🔹 Silently Dying? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

In this emotionally powerful episode of The Men’s Lounge LA, we explore Finding Father’s: A Daughter’s Perspective — a raw and honest conversation about fatherhood, identity, and accountability. Breona, a 38-year-old woman, discovers during pregnancy that she carries BETA THALASSEMIA, a genetic blood trait. What begins as a health concern becomes a life-altering revelation: the father who raised her is not her biological father. Enter Brian — her biological father — through an unexpected turn of events, forcing both to confront the past, the present, and the possibility of a future relationship. This episode dives into: • The emotional impact of discovering your biological father later in life • The difference between biological fatherhood and present fatherhood • Accountability, healing, and identity • The role fathers play in shaping balanced homes and strong families This isn’t a story about blame — it’s about truth. It’s about showing up. And it’s about redefining what fatherhood means at every stage of life. 👇 Join the conversation Subscribe | Like | Share | Comment 📍 Follow The Men’s Lounge LA Empowering men to become greater men.

In this special behind-the-scenes conversation from The Men’s Lounge LA, Nathan and Andrew sit down for an intimate meet & greet to reflect on their father, Coach Chriss, a man who grew up fatherless but intentionally chose a different path when raising his own sons.

• What it was like growing up with their dad

• Memorable moments from childhood

What would you do if you spent your entire life wondering who your father was?

In this powerful episode of The Men’s Lounge LA, Coach Chriss steps out of the co-host seat and into the spotlight — sharing his personal journey of growing up without a father… and the decision that changed everything.

After 42 years of unanswered questions, Coach Chriss hired a private investigator to find the man he had never met. Then one day… the phone rang. On the other end… was his father. This episode goes beyond the search.

We talk about:

• Growing up in a household with three brothers — all with different fathers

• Why Chriss was the only one driven to search

• The emotional weight of hearing his father’s voice for the first time

• Discovering he had 8 siblings — and meeting them in Jackson, Mississippi

• Masculinity without a blueprint

• Becoming a husband and father without ever having one

• Healing, identity, and what it truly means to find yourself

This is more than a story about finding a father… It’s about finding a missing piece of yourself.

💬 Question for our audience: If you’ve ever thought about searching for a missing parent or family member… What’s the one thing holding you back from starting your search? Drop your thoughts in the comments — your voice may help someone else take that first step.
