Divorce = Marital Style

By Mary Jo Rapini. Posted on Jan 27th 2012.

Within the first two years of marriage work is being done. Keep talking to create an awesome style

This article can be helpful if couples sit down, talk together and identify their style. Don’t blame any one person, as a style is created by the couple’s interaction. In a sense, you are both actors playing your part. If you can be candid with one another to re-create your part, you can save your marriage before you contemplate divorce. “Quitting the play because you don’t like your part is analogous to divorcing your spouse because you didn’t like the script you read. Write the new script together.” –Mary Jo Rapini
A wonderful book to begin your New Year and help your marriage is “For Better, the science of a good marriage.” -Tara Parker-Pope
