Top 5 Marital Mediation Techniques To Help You Stay Together
In the contemporary world, many couples tend to experience various problems and difficulties. Nowadays, they can get professional help and start enjoying their marital life more. Marriage mediation is for those couples, who prefer to stay together, avoid the divorce, and learn how to resolve their conflicts. This practical approach aids them to identify the problems and find the best solutions. Marital mediation does not mean delving into the past or the psychological issues of the partners. It aims to develop concrete models and plans that can be beneficial for addressing the main conflict. Let us take into consideration the most popular and effective marital mediation techniques.
Creation of communication opportunities
Presumably, the main problem couples experience is the lack of communication. A lot of people are now on the edge of separation as they often say they have grown apart and this distance cannot be reduced. But the marital mediator will confirm it is never too late, and teach you how to improve the lines of your communication. It will be better if you trust the professionals and let them help you engage in a meaningful dialogue with your partner. You must keep in mind good communication is the key to the successful marriage.
Clarification of the conflict
Generally, partners are constantly arguing but they cannot define what the real problem is. Everyone has an opinion and tries to express it, but they never realize what went wrong. Marriage mediation is beneficial, because it streamlines the conflict even if the couple has not reached an agreement. Mediators will encourage you to narrow the issues and make your communication more civilized. In case other methods are needed to resolve your conflict, marital mediation will make them more effective.
Negotiation behavior improvement
Most arguments occur because spouses never agree with each other and raise their voices. When they visit a marital mediator, they bring a neutral third party in their discussions, and in this way, the quality of their negotiation behavior starts to improve. It is because no disputant wants to look like the bad person in front of other people. Couples learn how to make compromises, pay more attention to what their partner is saying, and eventually agree with them.
Interruption of the competition
When couples start arguing they always blame each other for what they have or have not done. They all get so competitive and talking about how much they have contributed to the marriage. Fortunately, marital mediation is especially created to stop the competition and interrupt this cycle. Thanks to the mediation techniques, spouses can build mutual trust and validate what the other person has done for them. They will learn how to avoid unnecessary tangential disputes.
Point of view comprehension
In most cases, partners simply cannot understand the other person’s point of view. When a conflict occurs they just start blaming each other but never put themselves in the other shoe. Sometimes, disputants acknowledge the other person’s point of view at marital mediation for the first time. That is why marriage mediation is commonly believed to improve the perspectives of the partners, and encourage them to comprehend the point of view of the person they often disagree with.

Types Of Issues That Wotitzky Mediation Resolves
Mediation is often successful when the parties have a vested interest in maintaining a positive relationship with each other, such as families or business partners. Commercial mediation is an effective way to resolve disputes and avoid costly and time-consuming litigation. Wotitzky Mediation can resolve the following types of issues:
Breaches of Contract
Many contract problems arise because of a misunderstanding regarding the contract terms or because of unforeseeable events that arose and affected the contract. Commercial mediation allows the parties to communicate openly to resolve misunderstandings. The parties can brainstorm creative solutions to the problem, which may include:
- Modifying the contract
- Terminating the contract
- Entering into a new contract
- Agreeing to do subsequent business together
- Agreeing on using particular vendors or subcontractors
- Reducing or increasing the price of a contract
Our experienced mediator can guide you during mediation to determine your underlying interests and how you can resolve issues in the most cost-effective manner possible.
Business Disputes
Businesses deal with a variety of people and entities every day, including partners, shareholders, executives, other businesses, vendors, clients and customers. Disputes can arise with any of these parties. Commercial mediation can provide a setting that emphasizes cooperation and a willingness to work together to resolve a common problem. Additionally, mediation provides a private forum for the parties to resolve disputes, so they do not need to worry about negative publicity.
Real Property Disputes
Disputes may arise during the valuation or the real property transaction. An experienced mediator can help parties resolve these disputes while keeping the contract alive. Issues that can be resolved through commercial real property mediation include:
- Repair and inspection problems
- Costs for unexpected repairs or renovations
- Environmental issues
- Claims of misrepresentation regarding the condition of the property
- Valuation or appraisal issues
Commercial Mortgage Foreclosures
If a business has suffered a decline or otherwise encountered financial issues that have caused the business owner to get behind on the mortgage, mediation may be able to prevent a foreclosure. The business may be able to restructure its loan to make more manageable payments.
Eminent Domain Issues
When your property is taken for public use, you have the right to be compensated for the fair value of your property. However, disputes may arise when there is a disagreement about the value of the property. Mediation can help resolve this issue without having to resort to the courts.
First-Party Insurance Claims
Businesses that must make claims on their own insurance may encounter issues with whether the incident is covered under the business insurance and the value of the claim. The parties can engage in confidential mediation to resolve these issues in an expedited manner that does not rely on clogged court dockets.
Business Torts
Businesses may accuse of various misconduct that falls under the umbrella of business torts, such as tortious interference with a contract or business relations, unfair competition or fraud. A neutral and unbiased mediator can help parties reach a mutually satisfactory agreement while saving them time and money.
