Marriage is full of habits, both good and bad. Habits feel natural and easy which means they don't break themselves by accident. Many people who escape a bad marriage, tend to get involved in the same type of relationships they just escaped from. They marry the same type of person, fall into the same types of problems, and find themselves in another abusive situation. For those who want to move on to better things, its very possible. The biggest piece is realizing the trap e... more...

Some marriages survive for a brief moment for the sake of the children. The relationship that endures is not a quality marriage of two people who love each other. It has turned into a marriage of convenience that eventually becomes inconvenient for both parties. The children are well aware that the marriage ended long ago, but they do not know how to go about maintaining a relationship with the parent who moved out of the house. Some divorces are so brutal that the couples find that they ... more...

Once upon a time, there was a young woman who was dressed in ragged clothes and was forced to serve those more fortunate than her in order to survive. Regardless of how hard the people around her pushed her to toil and slave, she worked diligently while showing concern and kindness to those even less fortunate than her. You could see from her demur that even though she had been poor all of her life, she trusted God would meet her needs. Many fairy tales have taken this same young woman... more...

When a relationship ends, often there is a reaction of missing the other person. Sometimes we can miss the other person so much we actually feel physically ill and sometimes we actually are physically ill. We get headaches, eating causes nausea, we cannot sleep we ache all over. This is a genuine physical reaction to the physical absence of the other person. We sometimes think if we get back together, if we spend time together things will be all right. We may even succumb to begging our ex to co... more...

When a relationship with a wife or girlfriend feels as if it is falling apart, it most likely is falling apart and this is the time to stop and take an honest assessment. Listening to our inner feelings is essential in every type of relationship because feelings are an armor of protection. Feelings cause us to question life and often our failure to succeed directly relates to those feelings or gut warnings we ignore. Feelings are red flags, they are warnings, which save us from mistakes ... more...

Losing someone with whom you have lived for a few months, a year, ten years or longer can be a devastating experience for some men. Sometimes we come to realize a break-up is the wisest decision and is really a good thing. The assumption is a break-up is always bad, and in need of fixing. However, when we look realistically at some reasons behind the breakup, we discover the relationship was not a healthy relationship from the beginning. So the question becomes not how do I get my ex-wif... more...

The Law of Attraction states that "like attracts like" and that what you focus your attention on will expand. It is in operation whether we hold a positive or a negative thought. People working their way through the divorce process are often flooded with thoughts and feelings they don't want. Using words like "don't, not or no" puts focus and energy on the things we do not want to have in our lives. For example, having the thought of "I don't want... more...

Separation and divorce are two of the biggest rollercoaster rides you'll ever find emotionally. The Law of Attraction can give you some traction so you can regain your footing and see your way forward in your divorce journey. Our thoughts create feelings, which in turn create vibrations that are either positive or negative. The Law of Attraction states that "like attracts like" and that what you focus your attention on will expand. The first step to using the Law of At... more...

The stereotype that a man relishes trading his wife for a fast car or a younger woman has proven to be erroneous. In actual fact a new study has found that men appear to take separation much harder than women and divorce and depression seem to have a relationship in both men and women. Both men and women have a higher risk of being depressed when they get divorced as compared to people who remain with their spouses, but men who are divorced or separated are six times more likely to repor... more...

What is the Law of Attraction? The Law of Attraction states that "like attracts like." What you focus your attention on expands. Your thoughts are energy, and create a vibration which can be either positive or negative. Let's look at an example. Think of a day when you woke up feeling overwhelmed at what's on your plate. You might have a job to do, children to feed, an ex to deal with, lawyers to meet with. Typically those mornings start the self-fulfilling proph... more...

I recently had the pleasure of participating in a workshop in Los Angeles with 150 others who, like myself, want to hone their skills as a trainer. One of our instructors was Les Brown. I had heard this inspirational man speak before, but never had the opportunity to meet him in person. His love, passion and energy filled each of us with possibility. He taught us about the power of speaking from the heart. Communication in divorce is so important. Mr. Brown's invited us "... more...

Many families are unsure about divorce but their minds are continually clouded by thoughts of divorce. They do not know what all of the consequences will be if they get divorced from their spouse. All they realize during this time period is that they will be alone for the first time in a very long time and that they have children to think about too because they are going to be part of the divorce. By joining divorce support groups, divorcing parents can find answers to questions. T... more...

There's nothing like getting divorced to kick up a whole new dimension of fear. Will I be alright? Will my children grow up emotionally scarred from my relationship breakdown? Will I be able to cope financially? Am I doomed to be single? What if my next relationship tanks too? Underlying these questions is fear. Some of this fear is primal and wired into your neurological system. Fear is supposed to have you pause and make sure there aren't any Saber-toothed tigers lurking arou... more...

The simplest resolution to divorce is reconciliation. Some couples are torn apart due to infidelities or transgressions where their partner feels betrayed. These betrayals tend to make couples feel that the love and trust in their marriage is gone. With a little extra effort and a little extra time, couples that have separated can begin to look at all faltering points in their marriage and reconcile to fix them. One of the most widely used resolutions to divorce is when couples file for a... more...

Divorce is not the only solution to a less-than-perfect marriage, and like many things in life, it is much easier to prevent divorce than to deal with it afterward. Break things down in your head, and suddenly, everything becomes simple enough to act the way you need to, with minimal sacrifice, and you get just about everything you want, too! These little changes are all it takes to prevent divorce and best of all: be happy with the one you love, for the rest of your life! For a moment, c... more...

A divorce is a method of terminating a marriage between a couple. There are very few things more painful than being told that your marriage is over, especially if it wasn't your idea. Often the first reaction is to act in extreme ways, either by wanting to give in to all demands in hopes of changing your spouse's mind, or by being too demanding to "make them pay". Extreme behavior can be very costly. Should you decide to fight where a fight is not legally warranted, yo... more...
