PRE-MARRIAGE DIALOGUE & DECISION MAKING
MEDIATION WORKS FOR PRE-MARRIAGE DIALOGUE, DISCERMENT AND DECISION-MAKING
Mediation promotes an atmosphere of mutual trust that fosters the ability
to communicate concerns about the future, and to have a meaningful dialogue
about such concerns. With the help of a third party neutral mediator,
couples already engaged or considering a life time commitment to each
other are able to discuss and consider the other’s perspectives
on various topics including to marry or not marry, in-law relationships,
sibling relationships, finances, lifestyle choices, previous relationships,
having future children, religious compatibility, and other important matters
that require discussion and discernment.
Choosing mediation for such situations provides a safe forum for important
questions to be asked, allows meaningful conversation to happen, allows
insights to emerge and nurtures a discernment process. Important decisions
then follow. Mediation is private, and, if chosen by the couple, the mediator
can draft a written summary of what was considered in the discussion.
Mediators of Louise Phipps Senft & Associates/Baltimore Mediation
believe in Better Process…Better Outcome.
