60 Seconds to Fixing your Marriage

Is divorce worth it? Let’s think about the pros and cons of divorcing your spouse, and any alternatives that you should consider (like marriage counseling or even a couples retreat for therapy) before taking the leap.

 

On the one hand, you might think you’ll able to leave behind a painful relationship, and get to start anew. Perhaps you’ll even find someone better.

On the other hand, you’ll have to pay alimony, have less money, share custody of the kids, and start dating again. This is not to mention dealing with your ex if you have kids, which may be even more difficult than when you were married.

Divorce is not the best long term solution.

While divorce may seem the best way to relieve the immediate pain, it’s usually not the best long-term solution. Sometimes women look forward to the freedom that they think divorce is going to give them-not having to care for a husband – but they often wind up feeling lonely, especially if their ex remarries quickly. Husbands often feel they’ll be rid of what feels to them like their wife’s emotional outbursts but they soon discover that it’s not easy being alone.

That’s why it’s worth trying to save your relationship. If you’re successful, you’ll not only avoid all of the downsides of divorce, you’ll enjoy all the positive of a happy, loving relationship. If you don’t succeed, at least you gave it a chance.
