Hello Friends,
My name is Alfred Coleman a L.P.C and C.E.O ( emotionalconsciousness.com).
It may be difficult to face the issues that you and your spouse are struggling with, but research suggests that couples that are able to stick it out and stay together usually end up happier down the road than couples who divorce. Note that divorce is often not a way back to happiness. Long-term unhappiness in marriage is uncommon. In a national study, only about 10% of individuals say at any particular time that they are unhappy in their marriages, and only about 2% say they are very unhappy.14 As this study followed these couples over the next five years, they found that about 15% of these unhappy individuals did divorce. But 85% hung on. The better news is that those who hung on weren’t miserable. About two out of three unhappily married adults who avoided divorce ended up happily married to the same spouse five years later. And the unhappiest individuals improved the most; more than three-quarters of the unhappiest individuals who avoided divorce said they were now happy.
Couples overcome very serious problems in their marriages and often do find happiness again. Incidentally, violence in these unhappy relationships was not common; 77% of those that divorced and 85% of those that stayed together reported that an argument had never gotten physical.
Of course, we don’t know your situation. Only you can decide what is best for you and your family. (And maybe this decision has been forced on you by your spouse.) We do hope, however, that you will give serious thought to the possibility of trying to strengthen your marriage rather than ending it.
