Bergen County Divorce Lawyer Discusses Alternatives to Divorce
You remember your wedding day with fondness and cherished memories. You started out together with such similar life goals and dreams. You had no idea that you could actually grow apart over time. When you said your vows to stay married through sickness and health, through wealth and poverty, to be together forever until separated by death, you meant them with all your heart.
You have become discouraged and disillusioned by the fact that you have problems, that often seem too big to ever work out. You are not alone – everyone who has ever been married knows that issues will constantly need to be worked through. As each issue resurfaces every so often, you are forced to make a choice: to accept this person for who they are or to criticize them until they become who you want them to be. Realistically, trying to change someone is an impossible job. And who wants to be married to someone who is pretending to be someone they are not, in order to be accepted and fully loved? That’s not true love and acceptance at all.
