When a traumatic event has happened in your lives or relationship – illness, the death of a child or other loved one, job loss, infidelity, etc. – then it's a smart idea simply to "check in" with a therapist to gain the tools you need to ensure that your relationship can weather the storm. Differing parenting styles can put a real strain on all aspects of a marriage, so if this is the case, then the two of you should see if you can come to some common ground. The worst thing you could do is take out your frustrations on your child. And finally, even if you're committed to ending the marriage but still love your spouse, try therapy. If for nothing but to save you both grief in the divorce process, a therapist can teach the two of you to get along and remind you what brought you together in the first place.
