by Gladys Diaz\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The last couple of weeks have brought to our attention something we\u2019ve been preparing you for since March.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since the moment quarantine began, we\u2019ve been anticipating a trend of more divorces to sweep the nation — and, actually, the world — in the months to follow. Unfortunately, it seems we were right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Just within this past week, multiple high-profile relationships have announced their plans to split up, all citing circumstances that just could no longer be ignored during quarantine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve spoken with many women over the past several weeks who are feeling the exact same way in their relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n Here’s the thing).<\/span><\/p>\n Any issue that has come up in a relationship during this time was there before the pandemic. It\u2019s simply been amplified because you can no longer escape it or distract yourself from facing it.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n The financial stress, fear of the unknown, health complications, overwhelm and anxiety that we\u2019ve faced over these last several months, coupled with underlying problems in a relationship, are enough to push anyone over the edge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Quarantine has been the last straw in the proverbial bucket.<\/span><\/p>\n That being said, calling it quits is not the only option!\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s heartbreaking, because no one gets married expecting to get divorced, and we know that divorce comes with a lot of financial and emotional expenses, on top of everything else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ending a long-term relationship is a big deal, sometimes costing upwards of $20,000-$30,000 in legal expenses, not to mention the work of splitting your assets, selling your home, and the strain it puts on the family unit and kids.<\/span><\/p>\n Now, we\u2019re not saying that divorce or breaking up isn\u2019t sometimes the best option, but it\u2019s usually not, and it\u2019s definitely <\/i>not the only<\/i> option. <\/span><\/p>\n On the spectrum between the most passionate, loving relationship and ending it altogether, there\u2019s something in the middle – and that\u2019s the opportunity to transform<\/i> the relationship.<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n So, if there is another option, why not try doing the Heartwork<\/i>?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When you do, everything<\/i> transforms.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n And, when we say \u201ceverything<\/i>,\u201d we mean that the relationship transforms, as well as the family dynamics, work relationships, and\u00a0 opportunities that open up. <\/span><\/p>\n Because you don\u2019t just work on the relationship – you transform yourself <\/i>in the process<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Last week, one of our clients said, \u201cI\u2019m so grateful I\u2019m going through this program right now because I\u2019m hearing what my friends are going through who aren\u2019t getting support.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n When you choose to get support, when you choose to see that it may be you that\u2019s getting in the way of your own happiness, you allow yourself to recreate your marriage or relationship in a way that didn\u2019t exist before.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n I remember one day, back when Ric and I were struggling in our relationship. I had lost my temper, thrown food in his car and he\u2019d left. (Wow, we\u2019ve come a long way from that!)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I remember thinking, \u201c<\/span>It\u2019s got to be easier to be by myself!<\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I also remember knowing that if I was going to make the decision to call it quits, then I was going to need to do <\/span>everything <\/i>I could do to make it work. And I knew I hadn\u2019t done that\u00a0 yet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Sixteen years later, I\u2019m soooooo glad I chose to figure out what wasn\u2019t working and to do what I needed to do to transform myself from the inside out, which completely transformed my relationship!\u00a0<\/p>\n So, what about you?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n On a scale of 1 to 10 where is your relationship?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Has the pressure of the last few months brought up those underlying issues that it\u2019s time to address?\u00a0<\/p>\n Have you caught yourself wondering if it would be easier to just throw in the towel?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Do you feel like you\u2019ve done everything you can to make it work?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t talked to us, you haven\u2019t done <\/b><\/span>everything<\/b><\/span>.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve found yourself wondering, <\/span>\u201cAre they talking to me?\u201d, <\/i>yes we are, and this is for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If, as you\u2019ve been reading, you\u2019ve been thinking, <\/span>\u201cI wonder if this would work for me?\u201d<\/i> or maybe even, <\/span>\u201cI wonder if it still wouldn\u2019t work,\u201d<\/i> we invite you to book a call.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s have a conversation about what\u2019s going on for you and your relationship, what your options are, and how you can turn things around.<\/b><\/p>\n
