Sociologists estimate that a high percentage of typical U.S. re/wedded couples divorce legally. Millions more endure psychological divorce be-cause legal de-coupling isn't feasible. From 29 years' professional re-search, I believe five reasons combine to cause this tragic epidemic. One is unawareness - which promotes typical needy, wounded couples re/marring the wrong people (adults, kids, and ex mates), for the wrong reasons, at the wrong time. Each of these unwise choices can be avoided, once courting couples accept that they and their kids are vulnerable to them! Project 7 is best done before deciding to re/marry. It uses the learnings from six prior projects to enable courting partners to neutralize their five hazards, and make three wise commitment decisions for them and their family members. Success with this vital project largely depends on courting partners' progress on healing inner wounds (Project 1) and growing effec-tive communication skills (Project 2) Re/married co-parents may profit from Project 7, but can't undo wrong re/marital choices. The unique, practical guidebook for Projects 1-7 is Stepfamily Courtship. slides / more detail / Project-7 index / Q&A / close |
