Separated
Real life marriages
are a roller coaster of highs and lows and right now you are experiencing the low. The joy and happiness that once
filled your marriage has been replaced by pain and misery. Our goal is to help you reverse this trend and achieve
your initial dream of a happy, healthy lifelong marriage.
At this point in
time you may feel like this is impossible but for many couples it is still possible to pull out of the downward
spiral they find their marital relationships in. In fact, according to a report published in the Journal of Marriage
and the Family, "approximately five million couples, or 10% of all currently married couples in the United
States, have experienced a separation and reconciliation in their marriage". Another study found that
77% of couples who initially were very unhappy in their marriage, rated themselves 5 years later as very happy
in their marriage.
In a minority of
cases a divorce is in the best interest of all involved. But that's in the minority of cases and we hope your case
is in the majority.
The one thing that
needs to change is the unhealthy status of your marital relationship. We want to help you make that happen.
We have developed the following
list of resources that are available to help you gain the relationship skills and knowledge to heal your relationship. We also recommend you continue taking refresher courses
throughout the rest of your life in order to decrease the chances that you will ever find yourself in this position
again.
We
highly recommend you become an informed consumer before you sign up for one of these programs. Possible questions
you might ask include:
1.
What is your experience and training in this program?
2.
Is this program based on research and can you supply me with the references for the research articles it is based
on?
3.
What is the total cost for attending this program and how long does it last?
4.
What are the specific relationship skills and knowledge taught in this program?
5.
What are your expectations of us as participants?
6.
Will any participant ever be asked or expected to share personal experiences in a group setting?
If
you have a program for couples that are separated and would like it to be added to this list please send us an
email.
If you are a victim
of domestic violence we recommend you seek immediate professional assistance.
