When Is It Time To Separate?

I think I have made it clear that I am not a fan of separation.  Generally, it is a trial run at divorce, a "dress rehearsal." But is there a time when it is necessary to separate?  When it is actually a good idea to separate? Many couples face this question every year.  They ponder the question, mulling it over.  Should they separate?  What does a separation do for the prospects of saving a marriage? Having had this conversation with couples and individuals many times over my career, I can tell you that the conversation, itself, is painful and tough.  Much less, actually separating. Sometimes, there has to be a separation.  In fact, in one instance, I think it is absolutely necessary. Then, there are times when you may want to resist, but realize that there is more damage done by NOT separating than by separating. In this episode of the Save The Marriage Podcast, I answer the question, "When is it time to separate?"  Listen below.
