Marriage Mediation
"In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find, and continue to find, grounds for marriage."
- Robert Anderson
Marriage Mediation helps couples to minimize both the emotional and financial costs of relationship breakdowns. It helps couples to reduce tensions, anger, and misunderstandings that may arise in the relationship. Marriage mediation is not a counselling or legal service, but rather assumes that the couples want to work out their differences without resorting to divorce. Marriage mediation differs from counselling in that it is more task oriented and is a much faster process.
So why mediate? Trained mediators can help you and your partner focus on the real issues, search for all possible options, and increase the likelihood of a negotiated agreement.
Mediation is completely voluntary. All final decisions rest within the participants. The mediator is simply there as a bridge between both parties trying to set the stage for constructive communication.
