Divorce Still Means a Relationship to Maintain

Even though you may not be married to your former spouse anymore, you will still need to communicate with one another when there are children.

Divorced couple talkingMost of the time as a relationship coach, I work with couples to help them regain a connection and keep it, emotionally and physically. sometimes, however, couples come to see me who have decided to either separate or divorce. They come see me, especially if they have children, because they realize they must learn to work together for the sake of their kids.

Often one of the underdeveloped parts to their relationship is their ability to communicate. Believe it or not. if a couple decides to be apart, their communication system needs to be better than perhaps ever before – for the benefit of the children.

The gift within a very difficult situation like this can be that a couple learns to get along because they are forced to set their hurt, pain, and egos aside and rise to the occasion of parenting.

Although separating or divorcing may not be seen as a success, if handled positively and productively, it certainly can be.

Do you need a family meeting to discuss issues that you have? Maybe you need one to just get everyone on the same page. Get your free copy of Family Meeting Guidelines to help you manage and host a successful meeting.

    I appreciate your advice in terms of relationships after divorce. My husband and I recently have been divorced, and you’re right that there’s a lot of communication that needs to happen. We’ll be sure to take your advice and work extra hard to keep communication open with our child.

    It makes sense that people going through a divorce might want to get a good life coach. I can see how it can be hard to cope with losing someone that you have been with for so long. A good life coach can help you get back on your feet.
