For most newlyweds, the months following their wedding hold some of the greatest and most memorable times in their marriage. It is a time that still has them feeling blissful from their wedding day, it is filled with the excitement of settling into a new home, vacations, weekly date nights, and getting to know one another as a married couple.
Unfortunately, this was not the case for many newlyweds in 2020, mainly those who were married just before or during the pandemic. The New York Post found that while the divorce rates have skyrocketed during the pandemic, 20% of those seeking divorce were married within the past 5 months or less. What is causing newlyweds to call it quits so soon?
· Why are newlyweds struggling to adapt to marriage during the pandemic?
· Can some of these new marriages be saved with counseling?
· How can newlyweds gain some normalcy given the restrictions of the pandemic?

Wasser’s review of Joryn’s book, “I Never Saw My Father Again.” “Joryn Jenkins‘ I Never Saw My Father Again makes clear that individuals destined for dissolution can be masters of their own destiny by using modern resolution tools to stay out of the courtroom. Family Law practitioners and parents alike have a responsibility to children to settle issues and avoid the emotional and financial devastation of litigation. There is a new way of getting through this process. Jenkins‘ book helps explain why and how evolution is necessary for our generation.”
