Divorce: A Necessary Evil?

They offer advice to people in pain. On the surface, their advice sounds forward-looking, pragmatic, and helpful: Get On With Your Live ... GOWYL.

Psychologists and counselors are dealing with a problem that many in America consider inevitable: divorce. "We think of a marriage as a crap shoot, with worse than 50-50 odds of finding and marrying 'the right person,'" writes Diane Sollee of Smart Marriages. "If we marry 'the wrong person', we want the right to exit and try again." GOWYL.

Another excerpt: "When you look at a nationally representative sample of married people who say they are "very unhappy" in their marriages, and follow them over time, 60 percent of those who stick it out (about 15 percent do not) say they are "quite happy" or "very happy" in their marriages five years later. Another 25 percent of couples report improvement in their marital happiness.

These couples did GOWYL -- but they did it by staying married. They were once unhappy. And, without the help and assistance of divorce attorneys and counselors paving the way, sticking with their marriages, they were able to create a happy marriage once again ... not just for the sake of their kids, but for the sake of themselves.

That's right. Unhappy couples aren't doomed to a life of personal misery in their stoic, chin-up choice to stay together for the kids' sake. They can actually recover, restore and reconnect."
