The Strategy

Before You Divorce can be used in a wide range of situations. It is designed to be a powerful tool that can be used by laypeople and professionals alike:

Family and friends
It’s not necessary to be a professional to use these tools. If you are aware of a marriage in crisis, you can use the Before You Divorce materials to communicate the trauma of divorce and help motivate the couple to seek further help from a pastor or counselor. Don’t be afraid to intervene. You may be the last hope of saving the marriage.

Pastors and ministers
These materials offer a structured supplement to counseling sessions. When you learn of a marriage crisis in your church, you’ll have effective tools to support your involvement in helping to hold the marriage together.

Counselors
Before You Divorce provides you with a tool to show the couple what life is like during and after divorce. It will help the marriage partners become more receptive to addressing the specific problems confronting them.
