It is a sad but very true fact that over 2/3's of divorces are initiated by women. No woman begins a marriage intending for divorce. And yet often the marriage falls apart gradually and painfully, with a sharp ending when she says "Enough!" -What if your husband means well, but simply doesn't realize how much burden of the household/childcare falls to you? -Perhaps your husband has never known how to support and encourage you, and so isn't even aware that he doesn't show his care? -What would your husband do, if he realized that doing nothing may end up in a life of divorce? Many women live in marriages that are slowly dying, and they don't know how to tell their husbands that the relationship isn't working. Worse yet, some wives try talking to their husbands, get little response, and give up--the marriage continues to deteriorate.By providing language and frameworks of understanding, this gives an opportunity to allow the couple to make conscious choices before it is too late, and marriage is inevitable.
