what to do when separating

Before You Separate
150 150 Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

BeforeYouSeparateYou don’t want it.  But your spouse insists.  A separation has to happen.

Or maybe you thought you wanted a separation… hoping it would help.  But after reading my stuff or listening to my podcasts, you might realize that this is NOT the best idea.

In fact, you realize that you have now escalated the crisis by not a little, but a lot!  This is not an incrimental shift.  It is much bigger.

So, now what?

What do you do to try and minimize the damage… even setting up the separation so that there is a way back?

Most people think separation might just be a way of getting things back “on track.”  But not if you don’t set it up that way.  Not if you don’t plan for resolution.

Separation does not have to be a disaster.  But without planning, it often is.

In this week’s Save The Marriage Podcast, I discuss what you need to do BEFORE you separate… so that it leads back to marriage.

Listen to the episode below.
