Millions seek out a variety of health assessments, ranging from simple blood pressure checks to a thorough analysis of blood chemistry. Not so for marriages, though. Couples getting married today have a 50 to 66 percent chance of divorcing.
Marriage is more risky than mountain climbing, more risky than sky diving.
Couple meetings are based on the premise that because few couples regularly talk about relationship concerns, so what begin as small issues become larger problems that threaten to destroy a relationship. Couple meetings can be used to nip problems in the bud. First, plan a specific time each week when you and your partner can talk alone together for at least 30 minutes without distractions or interruptions. Another time may be better for you. Carving out immutable time for the upkeep of your relationship is a tangible way to give your marriage high priority.
