When To End A Marriage

By Dr. Joe Beam & Dr. Kimberly Beam Holmes
Published  ·  Updated  ·  2 min read

The short answer

There is no exact moment that tells you when to end a marriage, and Dr. Joe will not make that decision for you. Marriage Helper fights for every marriage, yet some end, and sometimes they should. Dr. Joe teaches the points to consider, including what is important, what is selfish, and how to find peace in your heart, so you can decide whether to fight or end it.

Key takeaways

  • Marriage Helper fights for every marriage no matter what has happened, but it also recognizes that some marriages end and some should.
  • Dr. Joe will not tell you the exact moment to end a marriage; he lays out the principles and leaves the decision to you.
  • The points to weigh include what is truly important, what is selfish, and how to find peace in your heart about the choice.
  • If you decide to fight, there is help for the spouse who wants to save the marriage when the other does not, including online courses.

We fight for marriages. All marriages. No matter what has happened. BUT sometimes they end.

Actually, sometimes they should end.

We realize that sounds as if it is in opposition to our mission. In this program, Dr. Joe Beam explains when it is not.

We offer many resources on MarriageHelper.com to help save marriages. We provide online courses for the spouse who wishes to save the marriage when the other doesn’t. We post many podcasts that address relationship problems and provide valuable, life-altering information.

Our weekend intensive, the Couples Workshop, has an amazing success rate. Even though the vast majority of couples who attend have one spouse who has NO desire to save the marriage (usually they come to get a deal in the divorce), 70% of couples who go through the workshop actually turn their crisis marriages around and make it good again.

Yet…

Some marriages end.

If you suffer in a marriage, whether you are the one who wants out or the one who wishes to save it, you’ve asked yourself countless times…

“When is enough, enough?”

“When do I stop trying?”

“How can I know when it’s best to end it?”

Dr. Joe Beam gives you the points to consider when making those decisions. What’s important. What’s selfish. How to find the peace you need in your heart.

Although Dr. Beam cannot tell you the exact moment…actually he won’t tell you what you must do; instead he teaches the principles, makes them clear, and then leaves it to you to decide…in this program you can find the answer as to whether to fight for your marriage or end it.

And if the decision is to fight, where to find the right help.

Common questions

Can a marriage be saved if my spouse has no desire to save it?

It can. Most couples who attend the Couples Workshop have one spouse with no desire to save the marriage, often there only to get a deal in the divorce, and many of those couples still turn their crisis marriages around.

What if I want to save my marriage but my spouse doesn’t?

Marriage Helper offers online courses built for the spouse who wishes to save the marriage when the other does not. If you decide to fight, Dr. Joe also points you to where to find the right help.

Does Marriage Helper ever say a marriage should end?

Yes. Marriage Helper fights for all marriages, no matter what has happened, but it also recognizes that some marriages should end, and Dr. Joe explains why that does not go against the mission.
