Mediating to Stay Married
If you find yourself between two seemingly dissonant beliefs: “I don’t want to get divorced” and “I can’t imagine staying married like this,” marital mediation may work for you.
Marital mediation starts with the agreement to work together for a common goal. This agreement sets the stage for further agreements around specific issues that are causing tension in the marriage. It is a client driven process focused on changed behavior and may involve a “controlled separation.”
Marital mediation combines mediation and conflict management techniques with Nonviolent Communication ™ processes to
• Lay out what’s disrupting the marriage
• Create practical, logical strategies to address issues
• Teach communication skills
• Learn to create safety for each other
Marital mediation complements therapy and other personal recovery work and has often succeeded in resolving marital conflict when other interventions have failed. If you and your spouse would like to schedule a free 30 minute Zoom consult to discuss Marital Mediation, click here to schedule.
