Jon and Kate plus therapy? ~ by Tigermom

Yes, I watched tonight's episode where Jon and Kate announce they are separating.

Yes, I have a lot of thoughts about this private drama played out all over the press.

Yes, I have more thoughts about the drama playing out in a way so easily accessible to their kids.

No, I will not venture any diagnoses about the why their marriage is taking a break.

But I do wonder, why not try a few couples' therapy sessions?

Two big reasons to try, in my book, that have nothing to do with whether or not they want to stay together or try it apart.

1. For tips about discussing this with the kids.

2. For a little personal insight about relationships so that the next intimate relationship does not play out the same issues.

I wish them all the best and hope they do not hesitate to use therapy as a helpful resource.
