Scenario

When couples can't agree on guardianship decisions in their will

My husband and I keep putting off making a will because every time we start talking about who would take care of our kids if something happened to us, we realize we have completely different ideas about what matters most. He wants his parents involved and I'm terrified of that, but neither of us knows how to say what we're really thinking without it becoming about our families' old wounds.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The process of choosing guardians forces couples to confront unspoken fears about family dynamics and different values around child-rearing.
