Occasionally in my practice there is a couple I am working with that are “stuck” and if they continue to stay together they will definitely hurt their chances of perpetual marital bliss. Yet, divorce is not something I encourage though for some it becomes a decision they must make. Sometimes it is helpful for the couple to agree to “trial separation.” In this post you will learn a way to go about a structured or trial separation.

There is a distinct lack of adequate language to describe the new relationships that arise in a “remarried” family. The complexities of relationships in remarried binuclear post-divorce families defy simple charting or characterization. The need to develop both more open and more clearly defined relationship boundaries in the expanded family that is created when a former spouse remarries is complicated by this lack of simple relational terms. Additions and subtractions of members in three generations simultaneously, structural and functional changes in rules and roles, and the clash of pre-existing family cultures, create loyalty conflicts around “who’s the boss”?

At some point, for a significant minority of couples, one or both partners conclude that the strategies of acceptance and change no longer work. At that juncture, the goal of living a healthier, happier, more productive life shifts from working to resolve marital difficulties to focusing on a “Good Divorce”. But how do you make it work if your former spouse doesn’t want to make it work? How do you make it better for your children and yourself? What are the rules of engagement when former partners are no longer intimate or romantic but remain co-parents for life? How does the Family Forest analogy apply post-divorce with an even more complicated range of ambiguities, acrimony and cooperation? Via Dr. Amy Fuller

Co-parenting amicably with your ex can give your children stability and close relationships with both parents–but it's rarely easy. Putting aside relationship issues to co-parent agreeably can be fraught with stress. Despite the many challenges, though, it is possible to develop a cordial working relationship with your ex for the sake of your children. With these tips, you can remain calm, stay consistent, and avoid or resolve conflict with your ex and make joint custody work.

http://marriagemissions.com/healing-separation/ A Healing Separation is a structured time apart in which can help a couple heal a relationship that isn’t working. It can also help revitalize and renew a relationship that’s working. The Healing Separation is designed to transform the basis of a love relationship —moving it from neediness to health. A successful Healing Separation requires that both partners be committed to personal growth, and to creating healthier relationships with themselves and each other. Such a framework will allow them to carve out a new and more fulfilling relationship than they’ve known in the past.

We all have priorities, but then we get sidetracked into matters that seem important at the time and in the process ignore what's important. In marriage the real priority is the marriage. No other relationships and no other issues are more important. Still, it's easy to get distracted.
