Author Suggests Divorce Can be Positive Change

 Posted on November 03, 2014 in Divorce

Many people who have been through the process of divorce may consider it one of the worst times in their life. Anything from contentious legal battles to lingering bitter feelings about the marriage can contribute to this view. However, not everyone has the same experiences with divorce. Some see it as a new beginning and another chance at being happy. According to a recent article, a family law attorney from Arizona published a book framing the concept of divorce in a new light, and urging others to do the same.

Path to a Happier Life

The book referenced above focuses on talking about the process of divorce as a pathway to a happier life. The book reportedly contains strategies that people who are divorcing can employ in order to more easily navigate the process of divorce and move on with their lives, all while seeing such change as a positive thing. The author’s purported desire with the book is to reshape the conversation about divorce, especially in the beginning stages. She suggests that if people are able to change their thinking about divorce in this way, they may approach the process of divorce in a more collaborative and healing way, which can lead to more positive outcomes. This new approach would ideally serve to better support each family member after divorce, children and adults included.

Instead of following in the footsteps of so many other divorce advice books and focusing on the negative aspects while advising readers how to merely survive the process, this books attempts a new approach. The focus is not on animosity or conflict, but rather how an individual can see divorce as a good change in his or her life and to embrace it as a turning point in taking life in a new direction.

In order to accomplish this, the author encourages readers to try their best to take their emotions out of making decisions in their divorce and to instead treat them as a series of business transactions. At the same time, another piece of advice is to take an honest look at the marriage with a clear head and consider both the good and bad parts of it when doing so. This includes taking note of the aspects of the marriage that were not fulfilling, as well as acknowledging the good parts. This, the author says, will help individuals move on from the marriage and divorce into their new life.
