Marital Mediation is a method of helping couples who are experiencing marital difficulties and would prefer to stay together rather than get divorced.
Marital Mediation does not delve deeply into the past or interpersonal psychological issues of the couple or its individual members. Through Marital Mediation the couple can develop concrete plans or modes of action that can be helpful in addressing their marital problems.
Marital counseling is performed by a mental health professional and involves therapeutic insights. Many couples find that marital counseling does not produce results, despite the skill of the marriage counselor or the integrity of the process. Marital Mediation is a practical method that relies on dispute resolution techniques and civil knowledge. Marital Mediation can sometimes help people move forward to the next step in their marriage.
Using Marital Mediation to stay married is not a choice of one method over another. A troubled couple should use all the resources they can.
Marriage is always difficult at times. But, if everyone left their marriage at tough times, there would be no lifetime marriages in existence.
