Divorce Discernment Guide-Marriage Insight Tool

Example

Identifying each partner's openness to solutions such as therapy or temporary separation versus pursuing divorce.

Scenario

In a case where one partner is leaning towards divorce while the other hopes to reconcile, the Guide helps each person articulate their stance clearly and explores the underlying reasons for their positions, facilitating a more informed discussion about possible next steps.

Example

Using the DEEP model to dissect differences, external stresses, emotional sensitivities, and patterns of communication.

Scenario

For instance, a couple struggling with financial pressures might find through the Guide's questioning that their stress about finances exacerbates underlying differences in their attitudes towards money and spending, leading to frequent conflicts.

Example

Teaching effective ways to communicate needs and feelings without triggering defensive responses.

Scenario

A scenario might involve a couple who argue frequently over minor issues due to poor communication habits. The Guide would help them learn to express their thoughts and feelings in a way that acknowledges each other’s perspectives, thereby reducing the frequency and intensity of their disputes.
