My Divorce Can I Stop It?

My Divorce Can I Stop It?Author: Liza WinnerCan I stop my divorce?  Have you been asking yourself that question lately?  It’s a hard question to answer because every situation is so different.  In many cases, “Can I stop my divorce?” can be answered, “Yes, at least for a while.” Why are divorce lawyers do a booming business?  Why do over half of marriages end in divorce?  Have you ever wondered why?  Is it because too many couples get married too quickly before they really know what they’re getting into?  Are they asking, “Can I stop my divorce?” practically before the last piece of wedding cake is wrapped?Are people marrying too young?  These things might seem like pat answers.  But when you consider that many couples who have been married for 20, 30 and 40 years are getting divorced too, that seems to eliminate the more frivolous marriages and divorces like those we see among starlets and stars. No, usually when you wonder, “Can I stop my divorce?” it’s not because you married too young or because you’re in a marriage that was doomed from the start.  It’s just that you’ve grown apart from your spouse. On one hand that’s good.  It means you’ve grown, and generally a married person needs to be in a caring, nurturing marriage to grow.  On the other hand it’s all too easy to grow in such a way that we feel a bit isolated from our spouse.When one spouse grows and takes on new interests, it can cause that disconnect between the spouses.  Sometimes there’s jealousy and envy that a spouse is succeeding while the other feels inadequate or cheated in some way.  Marriage counseling is the recommended treatment for such feelings.
