Getting Unmarried™

It’s a better way to get divorced. Period. The word “divorce” conjures up so many loaded thoughts: “failure,” “broken home,” “War of the Roses,” “custody battles,” “legal fees,” “lonely nights,” “financial difficulties,” etc… Divorce has historically been sad, tragic, shameful.

Getting Unmarried^™ is an uplifting process. It is a major shift in your perspective. You will go through major transitions, and rather than do so with fear, you will move through all of the changes with thought, compassion, hope, and renewed meaning.

Think of all the time, thought and effort you put into getting married. You chose the perfect venue, florist, caterer, officiant, musician. You wrote your vows from the depth of your soul. The guest list and seating chart were major headaches, turned into heroic victories. Searching for the dress took dedication, vision, and persistence. And I haven’t even touched on what it took to find your spouse!!! You had values, hopes, dreams, intentions, goals, a plan for your future. Getting married was a true labor of love.

Well, it will be the same with getting unmarried…only different.  Just like your beginning your marriage, you will need a lot of love when you end it. Only now the love will be for yourself, your children, and your new life. Love will play a factor in forgiveness, and having patience with yourself while you learn new skills, as you navigate a myriad of changes.

With every life transition it is vital to have the support you need to see you safely through. Getting unmarried is not something you do alone. You want to surround yourself with friends, family, and experts who know the ropes, and who can be a dedicated champion to your process.
