Wife wants to separate. What do I do when my wife wants us to separate? Dr. Joe Beam discusses what to do when a spouse wants to separate from the marriage in this episode of Marriage Helper Live.

Separation is going to work against you, not for you. However, if someone is in jeopardy, then that is a time to separate. The minute that one of you moves out, the tension is automatically decreased, which then improves mood because that tension is not there. That is why separation makes it harder to come back together; when you escape your problems and have time to breathe, you may not want to return to that tension. So generally, separation is not a great idea (unless someone is in jeopardy). In some states, a husband leaving the house can result in losing some of the legal battle if a couple does decide to divorce. It would help greatly to get an attorney involved for the legal steps of a separation if your spouse demands to leave. Ultimately, it would be best to not move out. If you both stay, keep the home environment calm and be careful with your interactions.

If your wife wants to separate, this video should be helpful to you.
