Conscious Uncoupling | Dr. Habib Sadeghi & Dr. Sherry Sami

This article is very well written and insightful. The concept of conscious uncoupling was popularized by Gwyneth Paltrow's high-profile divorce, but it's been around since the 1970s. This is a great introduction. 

Divorce is a traumatic and difficult decision for all parties involved—and there’s arguably no salve besides time to take that pain away. However, when the whole concept of marriage and divorce is reexamined, there’s actually something far more powerful—and positive—at play. The media likes to throw around the statistic that 50% of all marriages end in divorce. It turns out that’s accurate: Many people are concerned about the divorce rate and see it as an important problem that needs to be fixed. But what if divorce itself isn’t the problem? What if it’s just a symptom of something deeper that needs our attention? The high divorce rate might actually be a calling to learn a new way of being in relationships.
