DIVORCE- PROOF YOUR RELATIONSHIP!
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Traditionally couples
by the millions get engaged on this day. Being in the field of family
law as a divorce attorney and psychologically-trained medical professional
for more than thirty-five years, I expect that fifty percent of those
Valentine’s Day engagements will end in divorce—which is sad
and unfortunate.
There has to be a better way to ensure that all of the love and affection
showered on February 14 lasts a lifetime. In fact there are several issues
I see as a common thread that can unfortunately lead to divorce. Here
are four tips to help you divorce-proof your relationship from the beginning
so that the shine of your new engagement ring doesn’t blind you
to some of the very important basics of a long and successful marriage.
1.)Discuss Finances
2.)Be Aware of Abusive Qualities
3.)Get a Prenuptial Agreement
4.)See a Therapist
Within the scope of a relationship, respectful communication is key—honesty
with yourself and your future spouse, along with personality traits. Communication
helps ensure that you don’t marry the wrong person and that you
stay married to the right person. If you have any questions about preparing
for your marriage, and how prenuptial agreements can help, please feel
