When couples delay seeking help, issues can become so deeply ingrained that they are difficult to resolve. Over time, persistent failure to address problems can lead to irreparable damage that ultimately ends relationships. Rarely is it one cataclysmic event. Rather, between the first sign of trouble and the filing of a divorce is a slow but steady breakdown—a “death by a thousand cuts,” as the saying goes.
And although each situation is different, I wonder whether there is some identifiable point when a marriage tips over from being salvageable to its inevitable demise. Were there warning signs? And if so, were they obvious? And if someone had heeded them, could the relationship have been saved? After all, isn’t that the point of conflict anyway—not to ignore it, but to use it as a pathway to growth?
