A marriage usually deteriorates slowly, after months or years of simmering tension and poor communication.
Divorce and parental separation has been associated with a range of negative outcomes affecting all those involved in the process. But why is it particularly difficult for men, as multiple studies indicate it to be? How could men and women create a support system that will not only help the couple overcome challenges related to the split, but also help children cope with their parent's separation?
Marriage has been directly associated with men's health. 66% of men rely on their wives for their primary social support. Thus, divorce greatly increases a man's sense of isolation.
Divorce will mess you up in ways you never imagined and at times when you least expect it. You can have three or four days in a row where you're focused on other parts of your life like your career or your children and then...BOOM You wake up one morning and you're drowning in emotional quicksand.
This book explores what happens to some men when, despite the best of intentions and heroic efforts on all sides, a marriage ends in divorce.
