Thinking About Separating

Many people contemplate separation, but fear of the unknown holds them back. While it can be difficult, it might also be the key to your health and happiness. With clear options you can make decisions with confidence; intellectually, emotionally, and practically.

Before you navigate waters that might be treacherous, getting a clear overview of what you need to consider can be like seeing a lighthouse on the horizon. The beauty of a lighthouse is that it helps bring focus to the journey ahead and helps us avoid dangers that we might not have seen.

The good news is that the first step in solving a problem is to recognise that you have one. Even if you just sense there might be trouble ahead in your relationship, there is no harm and much to be gained by getting clarity about your situation. For example, understanding the smart ways to have finances managed can enable you and your partner to separate with less confusion and stress, and more stability sooner after the break.

Even if you decide that separation is not what you want, everybody benefits from having their affairs in order.

It’s important to note that our approach is to guide you to thoughtful ways of thinking through separation, intellectually, emotionally, and practically.

Final word: When things are at an all-time low, you are likely facing one of the hardest times of your life, so getting good advice early is the smart way to ultimately decide what you want. This comes from the confidence that only a lighthouse can provide.
