#4 Taking Steps to Avoid Divorce

Keeping Your Marriage Intact- Ways to stop Divorce

Keeping your marriage intact is vital in any family and the video I watched, that is displayed above, lists a few steps and explanations for ways to stop divorce for couples in the future.  The video states that taking the option of divorce off the table, communication, and making it work are three steps that can be looked at ahead of time in a marriage.  The video explains that before going into a marriage the couple needs to agree that divorce is not an option.  They cannot continue in the marriage with the idea that if it doesn't work out they can just get a divorce because that is setting up the marriage for an option of failure already. When the video talks about communication it explains that "communication is key." A couple should be able to speak to each other about anything.  This is a factor that can be looked at before marriage because you need to build good communication in any step of a relationship.  Communication is crucial and will impact the marriage tremendously in the future if the couple cannot communicate with each other.  "Making it work"is the last step that the video talks about.  It explains that if a couple is willing to do anything to save their marriage it will most likely not fail.
Although I agree that in some cases it is more unhealthy to stay in a marriage then to leave I also think that taking steps to maintain your marriage with another person is beneficial for any family.  As I have spoke about in previous posts, there are many advantages for intact marriages and families for anyone involved.  I agree that the steps the video talks about in order to prevent a divorce may be helpful and should be considered prior to marriage.
