A major question for every individual in a distressed marriage is, "How do I know it is time for me to give up on my marriage and get a divorce?"
At Heartchoice.com, we are very biased. We value marriage, believe divorce should only be used as a last resort, and think that every effort should be made to save your marriage including marriage therapy. All marriages are roller coasters with down times. Divorce is not the answer for a "down time" in a marriage. Ride it out and get in touch with us with your questions or schedule a SKYPE therapy session [LINK HERE]. Ask your partner to become involved with you to work on your marriage. You can’t do this alone.
Your marriage is not over until either you or your spouse has no interest, hope, or motivation to save it and these feelings have persisted for years (at least three). You owe it to yourself, your partner, and your children to do whatever you can to save your marriage. Nevertheless, abusive, loveless, unfaithful marriages do little for their spouses or children. About 20 percent of unhappy marriages are high conflict, abusive, and sinking ships. The rest have hope. Yours may be one of them. Let us help or make an appointment with a local therapist.
