As the new year is ushered in it brings sadness to countless families who are faced with divorce. During the month of January, without fail, the majority of my new clients come to me because they want a divorce or their partner wants a divorce and they do not.

There’s always hope, most of the time even if one partner has given up from frustration and exhaustion and the other has hope and helps the one who has given up.

I introduce couples at a crossroads in their relationship to my Smartheart skills and dialogues which are easy to learn but usually foreign to most couples.

You both believed in your marriage and its foundation when you fell in love, piggyback on that and learn how to nurture and not take each other for granted.  Put the effort needed daily into this sacred relationship, creating true love to last a lifetime.

I often share my love story, and that of my parents highlighting all the “potholes” as an inspiration to others so they too can walk the walk and find their way back to each other. So, before you decide to leave your marriage, sometimes from pride or exhaustion, you need to try, try, try and try again!

Take the time to recapture that LOVE underneath the anger and hurt you are now feeling.

If you are thinking about dumping your husband/wife or partner, think very hard about your reasoning.

Stay tuned for more in my upcoming post…
