Marriage Counseling for People Seeking Divorce
by
Dr. Reena Sommer
It may seem odd to suggest marriage counseling for people seeking divorce. But think about it - how odd is it really? For many couples contemplating divorce, marriage counseling may be a very wise consideration regardless of where the "chips" may eventually fall. Because divorce represents a major life change with far-reaching implications, it makes good sense that the decision to go that route is well thought out.
So What is the Point of Marriage Counseling for People Seeking Divorce?
Marriage counseling for people seeking divorce can serve a number of purposes. First and foremost, it provides an opportunity for people to clarify their reasons for ending their marriage. Getting clarity helps people feel that their decision to divorce is the right one. It also helps people achieve closure on their marriage.
For some couples, exploring the issues in their marriage that led them to the brink of divorce sometimes leads to an opportunity to rebuild rather than divorce. I have to admit though that I have only seen this happen about six times during my 18 year career.
When Divorce Seems Inevitable - Then What?
For most, marriage counseling for people seeking divorce leads to just that - a divorce. In most cases, the last ditch attempts at saving a marriage really amount to "too little - too late". When a couple reaches this realization, then it is time to shift gears, and begin focusing on the business of parting ways in the most respectful, logical and economical manner. For couples who have children, planning for parenting post separation and divorce is an important consideration. Most attorneys would agree that the assistance of a therapist or counselor experienced in marriage and family issues, can be of invaluable assistance in reducing the tensions associated with the divorcing process.
