Are you considering getting married again?

Doing ‘it’ right this time is paramount. You are more mature and, hopefully, you’ve learned from your mistakes… or have you?

So many things to think about! You’ve survived the demise of your marriage and have found someone new. There is no desire to repeat the same patterns.

The goal is to learn from the past and help create the best family for yourself, your new partner and your children.

Bringing baggage into the new relationship

Sometimes there’s baggage and expectations that come with your new relationship.

Maybe feelings of hurt and failure from a prior relationship have the potential to manifest themselves in a new relationship. We catch ourselves repeating some of the same behaviors… making us feel like it is Groundhog Day!

Together we can gain insight about ex-partners wanting to re-engage or past wounds affecting the new relationship. This will allow you to take steps to avoid repeating hurtful behavior.

And how does a new relationship affect the children?

Are you worried about your kids’ loyalty challenges or would you rather they feel secure and benefit from the nurturing from all the loving strong adults in their life?

By challenging ourselves to put our kids first, we become proud of our good parenting. This allows you to take charge and make your kids’ one and only childhood the very best it can be!

Topics that should be resolved prior to remarrying

The finances of yours, mine, and ours – can be a volatile minefield. Past experiences can teach us about how best to prevent future problems in finances, communication, parenting, and oh so many other areas. Together we come to agreement about how best to ensure respectful negotiation, compromise and decision-making.

We don’t want to sabotage your new relationship… Instead of being fearful, let’s put the past to rest and learn some new skills to help prevent repeat behavior!

Together we will discuss and agree on realistic expectations regarding communication, your parenting, couple time, finances, dealing with conflict, dealing with exes, day-to-day challenges – and any other challenges you are facing.
