2.Marriage counselling begins with the at-fault party taking full responsibility for his or her action. There must be full acknowledgement of wrong doing, the harm and hurt it has done, a remorseful attitude and an willingness and pledge to change and redeem oneself. Nothing else can move forward unless this has been established. This is a given. I do not condone bad behaviour. And I have no problem rebuking people and putting pressure on them to acknowledge guilt. It's just that I felt this was beyond the scope of my article.
3. I do recommend divorce when I don't see a marriage could work. This usually involves a woman betrayed by a man. In fact, I have always encouraged and even pushed some hesitating women to divorce their undeserving husbands.
4. I not only believe that people can change, I have seen it. Many people entangled themselves in an affair because of a weakness in self control under certain circusmstances. They never wanted to hurt anyone. Many of them actually felt guilty while doing it. These are the people who are genuinely remorseful and work very hard to make things up. These are marriages that are worth saving. I don't have the stats on this. But I believe the success rate in this category is very high.
5. Personal history is indeed a good indicator of future behaviour. In this case, a clean previosu record with a one-time mistake could favour reconciliation, if the guilty party's record is solid in all other aspects as a responsible spouse. On the other hand, a first-time affair can also mean the beginning of permanent separation if there is no love left between the spouses. It really depends.
6. You also mentioned kids. That's always a consideration and it's fairly age and individual sensitive. Many times peaceful single parenthood is better than two warring parents. But if there is a teenage kid who could not handle the pressure of their parents divorcing, then the child's interests must be seriously considered.
I hope this answers your questions and concerns.
And I am once again sorry for confusing and misleading people in this community.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
