Synopses & Reviews
Until now, couples facing the dilemma of deciding whether or not to stay in an unhappy marriage had three options: individual or couples therapy, separation, or divorce. "Should I Stay or Go?" provides these couples with a fourth option--the Controlled Separation (CS).
Revolutionary in scope, CS is a compassionate process that is designed to build respect and foster advocacy between spouses. "Should I Stay or Go?" thoroughly explains the CS guidelines, including the 12 fundamental issues that must be resolved for a workable, orderly separation. It also contains sample contracts, along with helpful checklists and self-assessment tools.
