I saw some time ago in the Daily Mail that Vanessa Platt, a divorce attorney cum TV personality in the UK, has recommended that couples try ballroom dancing lessons before filing for divorce.
Though her advice is being lampooned a bit due to her own highly publicized experience with divorce, it is possible that it contains a grain of truth.
The process of “saving a marriage” is a process that few can give advice on. However, Ms. Platt may not be far off in suggesting that couples who share activities can keep their marriages vital. Taking a class together, going to the theater or simply making dinner together can help to keep a couple communicating and interested in one another. Discovering new things about your partner is one of the pleasures of marriage, and sharing activities is an excellent conduit for that process. At any rate, Googling “ballroom dancing lessons” is more fun than “how to choose a divorce attorney”.
