Is It Worth Paying Someone to Try and Save Your Marriage

Is Saving Your Marriage Worth the Cost?

As a licensed therapist, marriage coach, and mentor, I’ve heard it all. One question I get more often than I’d like is:“I can’t afford to pay out of pocket for services to fix my marriage. Do you take insurance?”

Here’s the truth:If you and your spouse are going through a rough patch that you just can’t seem to smooth out, then investing in a marriage mentor is far less expensive than the cost of letting things fall apart.

Can you really put a price on emotional trauma? Can you measure the value of happiness?Compare that to the cost of divorce, which could include losing half your assets, your home, your business, and, in many cases, your peace of mind.

Divorce: It Happens

At the time of writing this, it's estimated that one divorce occurs every 36 seconds in the United States.That adds up to:

• 2,400 divorces per day

• 16,800 per week

• 67,200 per month

  
  

The best way to avoid becoming part of this statistic is simple: seek help before it’s too late.Continuing down a path that leads you and your spouse further apart while refusing or delaying getting support will cost you more in every way.

Excuses are just that, excuses.

One of the most famous lines of the past 50 years comes from Star Wars, of all places:

“Do or do not. There is no try.”

(Yoda may be fictional, but the wisdom is real.)

Top 3 Reasons Couples Divorce

These are the three most common reasons marriages end:

• Lack of intimacy

• Financial conflict

• Communication breakdown

The good news? All of these can be addressed through proactive relationship coaching. Divorce should always be a last resort, and in many cases, it’s completely avoidable.

The Real Cost of Doing Nothing

Let’s talk numbers and reality.

At the time this is written, roughly 20% of women fall into poverty following divorce.And the financial burden doesn’t stop there. Even if divorce isn’t the outcome, staying in an unhappy or emotionally draining marriage often leads to:

• Anxiety, depression, and emotional burnout

• Health issues (which cost more at the doctor’s office)

• Work performance decline (and a dip in income)

Unhappiness has a cost. 

So does inaction.But there’s something even more valuable than money: your emotional well-being, your relationship, and your future.

Why Hire a Marriage Coach?

A qualified marriage coach can help you:

This Isn’t a Quick Fix (But It Is a Real One)

Working with high-achieving couples means that both partners must be as committed to the relationship as they are to the businesses or teams they lead. You must be proactive. You must be willing to do the work.

This isn’t a magic pill.But with the right guidance, the right tools, and the right mindset, couples come out on the other side stronger, more connected, and happier than they thought possible.
