Keeping Your
Marriage Together
It would be hard to overestimate the amount
of pain and misery that result from modern divorce, particularly
for children. My e-mail is usually jammed with letters from
aggrieved and often desperate people who have been chewed up
by divorce and family court. Shared
parenting advocates, divorce reformers and fatherhood activists
are 100% correct in fighting for a divorce regime that is more
child-centered, equitable, and respectful of the loving bonds
children share with both parents.
However, an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. When I set aside time to answer my listener
and reader mail I often tell my wife "I'm going to go climb
down into the sewer now." While dredging through the seemingly
endless stream of broken families and broken hearts I often
think "what can we do to prevent some of these damn divorces
from happening to begin with?"
This week on
His Side a psychologist
who counsels troubled married couples and a mediator who does
both pre-marital and divorce mediation will discuss how men
and women can keep their marriages together.
