Because guilt and fear abound when faced with the difficult decision to get a divorce, most people wrestle with the question for years. Are the hard times just a phase or a sign of a bigger problem? Theya re a husband and wife team of marriage experts, is the first book to guide those wrestling with this decision by providing a ten step program to determine if a relationship has truly reached its breaking point. How to Know offers comfort and answers to the questions so many avoid, such as, "Is my marriage unhappy?", "How unhappy am I?","Is our parenting faltering?" and many other probing questions that can lead to clarity of intention in relationship While Drs. Birnbach and Hyman do not advocate divorce, they point out that the most desirable situation-a happy long-term marriage-may simply not be possible in some cases. The book also discusses how the lives of people who stay in chronically unhappy marriages compare with those who split up.
