What Marital Mediation Is—and Is Not
Marital mediation is not marital therapy or marriage counseling. It does not deal with underlying psychological or emotional problems that negatively affect the relationship. Rather, it is a focused process for creating workable solutions to everyday problems that couples face, like financial issues and parenting difficulties.
It helps couples to:
- identify key issues creating tension in the couple's relationship
- develop clear thinking in emotional circumstances
- establish new boundaries
- find constructive ways to talk about differences
- engage in healthy decision-making
- effectively resolve conflict
- negotiate an agreement to serve as a foundation for the future
A New Path. A Fresh Start.
Marital mediation can clear away problems that cause friction and aggravate a partnership. It can re-frame the issues in new terms and enable you to develop win-win solutions. Marital mediation is not for everyone. But it has enabled many couples who still love each other to find a way out of problems that could otherwise lead to divorce. If you face marital difficulties but are committed to preserving and strengthening your marriage, Sue Brown can help guide you chart a new path to travel together.
