Marriage Crisis Manager, Doctor Becky Whetstone

New Book Offers Practical Guidance and Hope for Navigating a Marriage Crisis

PORTLAND, OR, UNITED STATES, January 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Divorce is a life-altering event, with nearly 600,000 couples in the U.S. experiencing it annually. Yet almost all divorces begin at the same juncture: a marriage crisis. In her transformative book, I (Think) I Want Out: What To Do When One of You Wants to End Your Marriage (Health Communications, Inc; February 4, 2025; $17.95), Dr. Becky Whetstone provides a lifeline for couples facing this breaking point, offering comprehensive guidance on how to manage the emotional, practical, and relational complexities of a marriage in turmoil.

Known as the “Marriage Crisis Manager,” Dr. Whetstone uses her decades of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist to help couples slow down, make intelligent decisions, and minimize regret—regardless of whether the journey ends in reconciliation or divorce. With clear explanations, practical exercises, and actionable strategies, she empowers readers to approach their marriage crisis with rationality and self-care.

Key Highlights of I (Think) I Want Out:

• Understanding the Marriage Crisis: Insights into how and why marital crises occur, including the stages of marital deterioration and how to assess the severity.
• Managing Overwhelming Emotions: Guidance on navigating fear, panic, and uncertainty, and the importance of slowing down to foster rational decision-making.
• Practical Solutions for Separation: Step-by-step plans for peaceful separations that avoid separation limbo, protect children, and encourage reconciliation when possible.
• Healing and Growth: Tools for addressing childhood trauma, healing the inner child, and understanding how past wounds influence current relationships.
• Specialized Strategies: A focus on maintaining mental and physical health, identifying issues like abuse and addiction, and fostering respectful co-parenting relationships.

Dr. Whetstone’s book is more than a guide for individuals; it’s a resource for couples seeking clarity, families prioritizing their children’s well-being, and anyone yearning to navigate this difficult transition with dignity and wisdom.

"I (Think) I Want Out is an essential tool for navigating one of life’s most emotionally charged experiences,” says Dr. Whetstone. “By slowing down, promoting self-care, and taking an intelligent, thoughtful approach, couples can make decisions that truly serve their best interests and those of their families.”
