| DIVORCE THERAPY: Get a Good Divorce A bad marriage can finally end, but there is no end to a bad divorce. Many families continue to suffer for years after the final decree, fighting the same battles over and over, and winding up in court an average of three times. The only reason to go through the heartache and expense of divorce should be to come out at the end with some relief.ICouples with children are not rid of their partner after the divorce. They must deal with each other regularly and need to be able to do many of the things that are required in a good marriage; in particular, they need to be able to make and keep respectful agreements.Divorce therapy helps the couple stop the battle, mourn the loss of the marriage, and understand how it is that the marriage died. It offers both partners the chance to see and untangle their own relationship blind spots, so that they do not leave this marriage and immediately make the same mistakes in another marriage. It helps ex-partners with children set up a system for effectively comunicating about the children and making solid agreements with each other.Nancy Schleich, LISW-S2388 East Main StreetBexley, Ohio 43209614-235-0728schleich.1@osu.edu
