Possible Reconciliation
Again, let me reiterate that this paper has taken the mediation route whereby the process of working out a couple's marital differences with the help of a mediator is suggested. Why have we taken this route, you may ask. Again, note that mediation proceedings help the husband and wife to amicably settle their differences which can possibly lead to a reformation or reconciliation between the two parties. This can be seen as the first step in restoring the relationship back to its normal state. As it has...

Family Break Up For a humane, the word 'community' hints at people trying to work out solutions to common problems.
