There are many resources for married couples on the web. Here are several of the
best:
-
The Massachusetts Council on Family Mediation is an organization of family mediators
which publishes a quarterly journal.
- Find out more about collaborative law at
The Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council and International
Academy of Collaborative Professionals.
- Many articles about how to strengthen a marriage and the problems of divorce can
be found at
www.smartmarriages.com.
- See John Gottman's work at www.gottman.com
and the work of The Gottman Institute, in Seattle, Washington. Gottman believes
one can tell whether a marriage will last or end in divorce by interviewing a couple
and watching the martial interaction for only a few minutes. He has a number of
programs for helping married couples that are available through workshops, DVDs
and videos. There is much great material on his website.
- Michele Weiner-Davis has an informative organization called Divorce Busting®.
Her website is at
www.divorcebusting.com. This website has many useful materials on improving
your marriage, including videos, tapes, CDs and books. Weiner-Davis is the marital
therapist who maintains that "It takes only one to tango", i.e., if only one party
is willing to work on the marriage, changes can be initiated by that one party.
For more books on marriage and relationship techniques, see Books/Tapes.
