Resources

Discernment Counseling Resource:  If you and your spouse would like to take another look at the decision to divorce, our website has a list of Discernment Counselors who can help. 

​​This website is dedicated to all couples struggling in their committed relationship. Your challenges may be small (squabbling over daily chores) or huge (whether to exit your marriage). We take your readership seriously. Much marriage advice is pretty simplistic. It sounds good but doesn’t really have legs to create the change you desire.

Getting unstuck can be hard, and every marriage has periods of darkness that can last days, weeks, months or even years. But we hold an unflagging belief that if both spouses are motivated and open to change, nearly every couple can find their way into a healthy, contented relationship.

Should I Try to Work It Out?:
A Guidebook for Individuals and Couples at the Crossroads of 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.
