Marriage Restoration Mediation is an innovative marriage-saving intensive for couples seeking healing and restoration in their marriage. Couples no longer must choose between counseling or divorce when their marriage is at a crossroad. Through Marriage Restoration Mediation, you can experience immediate transformation by combining biblically based resources and mediation techniques for long term restoration. There is hope for even the most troubled marriage.
While divorce mediation is about 85% successful in peacefully separating couples, Marriage Restoration Mediation is about 95% successful in peacefully bringing couples back together. Many couples who have gone through divorce mediation say that if they had known how to use mediation techniques to resolve differences, they would not have divorced.
We teach you simple, yet highly effective techniques that help you define the issue, effectively communicate your desired outcome, and select specific steps to peacefully resolve the issues driving the conflict.
Marriage Restoration Mediation doesn’t treat, or dig deeply into past hurts and trauma, but focuses on teaching to transform. Marriage Restoration Mediation is not intended to replace therapy or counseling but can be a highly effective alternative for many couples. A high percentage of couples that seek Marriage Restoration Mediation have already gone through counseling. Marriage Restoration Mediation is for couples who are experiencing destructive conflict but want to heal their relationship.
There are only three topics we do not handle in Marriage Restoration Mediation (the Three A’s): current physical abuse, current substance addiction, and active affairs. Past instances of these three are allowed in Mediation, so long as they are not current and ongoing. Most other subjects that cause conflict in marriage are commonly addressed, including finances, children, extended family, sexual intimacy, pornography, and work/life balance. Other than the Three A’s above, the only limit is the willingness of the couple to participate in the process.
It is never too late to transform your marriage, as long as your spouse hasn’t remarried. We work with couples at all stages of difficulty.
The answer to that question is an emphatic YES. However, most people ask this question to justify divorce. The real question you should be asking is, “How do we stop fighting all the time for the sake of the kids?”
There are several reasons for choosing to stay together for the sake of your kids. They include the following:
a. Time can heal wounds: With the right training, transparency, and forgiveness, couples that stay together are happier five years down the road. Through Marriage Restoration Mediation, you can work through the problems in your relationship and end up even happier later.
b. Fewer Behavioral Issues: Statistically, your kids will have fewer behavioral issues if you focus on restoring your marriage rather than how to divide up the kids.
c. Stop Hereditary Divorce: Children who have stability in their home with both parents are more likely to have successful relationships as adults. When your child sees you staying together, they are less likely to divorce their future spouse.
d. Better Financial Foundation: Children from stable families have a higher standard of living compared to children of divorced parents.
e. Healthier Relationships with Adult Children: Even if you split amicably, the kids can be filled with anger and resentment, negatively impacting your relationship with them as adults.
