In this episode of the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie, nationally recognized as one of the top family law attorneys and mediators in the country, speaks with Kate Anthony of The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast and Creator of the Should I Stay or Should I Go Program on just how you know if your relationship has run it's course or if if can be fixed.
Truly one of the most difficult questions that we might have to answer in our lives is should we stay in our marriage that doesn't seem to be working, or should we go and find happiness elsewhere? In fact, many people will linger in the limbo of this unanswered question for months and even years, without being able to move forward to either repair the relationship or find the strength to end it. Kate Anthony is the leading expert on helping you to answer the question of whether to stay or go and she helps people all over the world with her innovative online program and her one-on-one coaching. In this special episode, taped in person in California, Kate shares:
- What you need to consider if your relationship is in limbo and you are living "like roommates."
- What the most common weak spots are in a marriage and what you can do to fix them (hint: communication is key!)
- How failing to address the issues that lie between you and your spouse can lead to the worst divorce possible.
- What to do if your spouse is asking you to go to therapy and what to do if you are asking but they won't go!
- Why trying everything you can to work on the relationship is so important even if those efforts fail. (Kate says that all the work she and her husband did to try and fix their marriage didn't work but did lead to them having a great divorce!)
- How to have the conversation with your spouse if you do decide "it's time to go."
- AND MORE!
