The Friendly Divorce: Example:

Helen and Karl constantly argued with each other. Each had become very defensive and critical of the other. They were deep in the cycle of conflict.

Karl was planning a separation and wanted some advice. Karl knew he had something to do with what was happening, but he didn't know what. All he could see was how Helen treated him.

It became obvious that he wanted his relationship to work. He just didn't know how.

The more Karl saw what had happened in his relationship. He saw how much both he and Helen had hurt each other and how each of them had become defensive and resentful towards the other. He saw his role in the cycle of conflict.

Soon Karl recognized how to release his anger and resentment. How to be free of his hurt and restore the love in his relationship.

He was excited with the opportunity and went home to be with Helen. As Karl applied the principles, he noticed an immediate difference in his relationship.

With his new set of tools and with his anger and resentment gone, Karl was able to interact with Helen in a very different way. He treated her with love.

Helen started feeling safe around Karl. She dropped her defenses and became more understanding and accepting. The arguing stopped.

As time went on, Helen and Karl appreciated each other more and more. They treated each other with love and respect.

By learning how to heal his relationship, Karl was able to end the fighting and restore the love. Now he has a relationship that works.
