Would You Use a Reconciliation Service?

Decades ago, common advice to divorcing couples was "try to work it out". People used to understand that life was cyclical and chances were high that a couple could get their relationship back on track if they stayed together. But in a culture that elects presidents based on "change", people now seem to think that good relationships can be found anywhere from the internet to the local pub. Based on this concept,  when our current relationship goes awry, we simply create a new one.

A recent survey in Minneapolis interviewed 2500 couples who were participating in a mandated parent education program . The survey asked two questions: 1) "Could your divorce be prevented if you worked together to save the marriage?' and 2) "If the family court offered a reconciliation service, would you participate?"

Of the 2500 polled, 15 percent of the men and 8% of the women said they thought the marriage could be "saved".  Regarding the reconciliation services, 18% of the men and 8% of the women said they would participate in this service.
