The expert recently shared his insights on broken marriages on Steven Bartlett’s “The Diary Of A CEO” podcast.
He explained that with infidelity while cheating is often involved, it’s “just a component” — and therefore blaming a divorce on cheating is an “oversimplification.”
Sexton claimed that a lack of sex typically leads to infidelity, noting that “men want more quantity sex, women want more quality.”
“It’s the same reason porn is more popular with men than it is with women — because men just want to get the job done,” Sexton said.
The leading divorce lawyer also explained the nuances of money in marriages.

“Money has a lot to do with power. Money is about control. Money is about opportunity, security, it’s about a whole bunch of things, but it’s not really about money,” Sexton said.
“Money is just a currency that we trade, so I think money has a whole bunch of complicated stuff tied up in it. People are dishonest with themselves and with money.”
To avoid having to utilize Sexton’s services, he advises that couples truly “pay attention” to each other.
As an example, he suggested that people — particularly men — write random love notes for their spouses to remind them how much and why they love them.
