Bad Marriage, Good Divorce
What if the end of your marriage could be the beginning of your healing?
Bad Marriage, Good Divorce is a powerful and deeply personal exploration of love, loss, and resilience. Written by a U.S. Army veteran, therapist, and father, this book blends raw storytelling with professional insight to guide readers through the pain of a broken marriage and the possibility of life after divorce.
Drawing from both lived experience and clinical expertise, Kevin Grannes offers a rare perspective: he has been the husband, the father, the combat veteran, and the therapist. Through this lens, he unpacks the complex realities of trauma, toxic patterns, and emotional wounds that erode relationships. More importantly, he shows how divorce—though painful—can also be a pathway to peace, growth, and healthier love.
Inside, you’ll find:
Honest reflections on military marriage, betrayal, and healing from emotional wounds.
Clinical insights on trauma, attachment, and how the brain processes pain in relationships.
Practical tools for co-parenting, communication, and rebuilding your identity after divorce.
Guided reflections to help you break cycles, reclaim your voice, and carry forward lessons of strength.
This is not a book that glamorizes divorce—but it does illuminate how even in heartbreak, there can be healing. Whether you are in a struggling marriage, considering separation, or navigating life as a co-parent, Bad Marriage, Good Divorce offers hope, clarity, and a reminder that you are not alone.
If you’ve ever wondered whether a broken marriage means a broken future, this book will help you discover that sometimes, letting go is the first step toward becoming whole.
