Marriage is a Commitment

MARRIAGE IS A COMMITMENT THAT EFFECTS THE LIVES OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
A recent report prepared by the National Center for Health Statistics on individual factors and community conditions associated with long-term marriages as well as divorce and separation indicated the following:
* unmarried cohabitations are less stable than marriages.
* premarital cohabitation breakup 3 times faster than marriages in the first 5 years.
* after 10 years the probability of a cohabitation ending are 2 times greater than a marriage ending.
* probability of remarriage among divorced women was 54 per cent in 5 years.
* strong probability that the second marriage will end in divorce, 23 percent after 5 years, 39 percent after 10 years.
* since 1950, the number of divorced women remarrying has declined - data for 1995 showed that women who divorced had a 50 percent chance of remarrying.
CONSIDER THE EFFECTS OF A DIVORCE ON YOUR FAMILY, YOUR LIFE AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR CIRCLE OF LIVING.
It is my experience that many of the couples that I mediate with in family and dependency mediation still share an emotional bond. Given a chance to sit down with an experienced and trained mediator may have averted the situation they are currently in.
Be it divorce or family trouble.
Marital Mediation does not delve deeply into the past or interpersonal psychological issues of the couple or its individual members. Through Marital Mediation the couple can develop concrete plans or modes of action that can be helpful in addressing their marital problems.
Marital counseling is performed by a mental health professional and involves therapeutic insights. Many couples find that marital counseling does not produce results, despite the skill of the marriage counselor or the integrity of the process. Marital Mediation is a practical method that relies on dispute resolution techniques and civil knowledge. Marital Mediation can sometimes help people move forward to the next step in their marriage.
Using Marital Mediation to stay married is not a choice of one method over another. A troubled couple should use all the resources they can.
Marriage is always difficult at times. But, if everyone left their marriage at tough times, there would be no lifetime marriages in existence.
