Publisher's Synopsis
Has your once joyful marriage become filled with constant bickering, miscommunication and hurt feelings? Have you started sleeping in separate rooms? Have the times you are physically or emotionally intimate become less frequent and/or enjoyable? Feeling alone and lonely even when you're together? Because of this, have you and your spouse come to a crossroads in your relationship? Considering separation, or divorce, just to stop the pain and conflict?
This guidebook is designed to be a resource to individuals who may be thinking about getting a divorce or whose spouse is thinking about divorce. These individuals are at the "crossroads of divorce," facing a challenging decision that has powerful consequences for the future of their own lives, the lives of family members, and their communities. The guidebook contains research-based information about important questions that individuals at the crossroads of divorce often have, such as: Can my marriage be repaired and can we be happy again? Is divorce a reliable path to happiness? What are the effects of divorce on children, adults, and the communities they live in? What are the legal options for ending a marriage? With objective information and self-guided, written exercises, the authors try to answer these questions and many more in this guidebook and help individuals at the crossroads of divorce think clearly about the best path forward for themselves and their children.
