When both partners devote themselves fully and with proper help to restoring their marriage,
they can usually make it.

III. DISCERNMENT COUNSELING FOR COUPLES ON THE BRINK OF SEPARATION OR DIVORCE

  • Divorce is often an attempt to solve a problem that people think can’t be solved in any other way
  • When you as a couple are going through troubled times in your relationship, it can be very difficult for you to make the important life –changing decision about the future
  • What’s in your best interest?  There may also be children involved
  • The goal of discernment counseling is to help you as a couple gain clarity and confidence in deciding whether to try to preserve your marriage and make it better, or to take another path, such as a separation or divorce

This counseling is time-limited and is usually one to five sessions in length.
