Press Release Body = (Montpelier, VT) - Taking a time-out from your relationship just might be the best thing you've ever done for yourself, and your spouse. While many people believe separation serves as the first step toward divorce, one counselor's experience shows that 50 percent of partners actually return to their relationships after separation.
Whether you've reached a point where you think you're "falling out of love," feeling overworked and under appreciated, or making your way through a midlife crisis, managed separation can be a viable alternative to immediate divorce, offering a path that increases the chances of keeping your marriage and family intact.
"In marriage or relationships, we often see separation as a sign of trouble inevitably leading to divorce," says Robert J. Buchicchio, author of Taking Space: How to Use Separation to Explore the Future of Your Relationship (CharLer Publishing, www.TakingSpace.com) "In fact, temporary separations can often be exactly what couples need to grow, develop, and renew their commitment to each other and themselves."
One of the first counselors in the United States to focus on developing a 10 step problem solving guide to help couples manage periods of both psychological and physical separation, Buchicchio has spent over thirty five years in relationship, marriage, and divorce counseling, and has helped hundreds of couples sort through conflict.
According to Buchicchio, if there is excessive conflict in your relationship, taking a wellmanaged time out can help you . . .
*Establish space *Reduce conflict *Restore communication *Regain balance *Repair boundaries *Focus on self-growth
Together, the benefits of separation not only make you a better person, but may also provide a solid base for restoring - and improving - life with the one you love. Think it's time for a "time-out"? Get "10 Tips to Manage Your Separation from a Spouse Effectively" at www.TakingSpace.com. # # #
