The Economy, Divorce and Therapy
According to a September 2011 article in USA Today, the recession is keeping couples together. Surveyed psychologists say that it is more economical both financially and emotionally to fix a marriage rather than to end it. It is interesting that a positive outcome of the financial crisis is that couples are putting more effort into working things out. Could it be that for some learning to live with each other and accepting their spouse or partner's faults is the best way of resolving difficulties? Try asking yourself, "What can I do to make this marriage better for me?" or "How can I be a better partner? What brought us together in the first place? Can I still connect with that?".
Should you decide to seek counseling, I will help you explore your feelings, clarify your goals for your relationship and encourage you in making your partnership mutually satisfying. If you do decide that divorce is the best decision for you, I can support you through the process.
