Marital Mediation Works
Marital Mediation is a process that uses mediation to increase relationship satisfaction. Using a third-party neutral mediator, couples create a mediated agreement which serves as a template for future interactions and behaviors that addresses areas of conflict in the relationship. Marital Mediation may be appropriate when:
-
Traditional marriage counseling would feel uncomfortable or inappropriate
-
Time limitations require more concrete, immediate solutions rather than in-depth explorations
-
Future interactions would benefit from learning more effective negotiation and communication skills
-
Couples are conflicted about which path to take: separation/divorce, or reconciliation
Marital Mediation offers an alternative to marital therapy, which may require extensive time to develop therapeutic insights. It is designed to develop concrete solutions in a shorter period of time. As a mediator experienced in psychology and communication, I help couples resolve family conflicts that could lead to separation if left unattended, using techniques developed over decades in the field of dispute resolution. Examples of such conflicts include:
-
financial disputes
-
parenting responsibilities
-
allocation of household tasks
-
intimacy issues
-
communication stalemates
-
career conflicts
-
extramarital affairs
-
living arrangement conflicts
-
family/friend relationship conflicts
