Meghan Markle, Prince Harry ‘Working Hard’ For Their Marriage For This Reason

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s troubled past reportedly encourages them to work hard for their marriage.

Caroline Strawson, an accredited divorce and positive psychology coach, told Express that Markle and Prince Harry grew up with divorced parents. This certainly had an impact on their lives as they aged.

“People who underwent the strain of a divorce take longer to take the decision to get married because they know the effect of the divorce and they don’t want to go through all of that,” she said.

The impact of Markle’s parents’ divorce reportedly also took a toll on her relationship with her ex-husband Trevor Engelson. The two started dating in 2004, but they only tied the knot in 2011. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t also work out and they divorced in 2013.

“The important tasks are done before getting married, to make sure no major problems arise afterward and that they are taking the right decision,” she said.

And in the case of Prince Harry and Markle, they might have decided to stay together no matter what so that they won’t go through the same divorce that their parents went through.

“And once they are in the marriage, especially with children, when a problem arises, they make conscious efforts, they look at counseling, they communicate with each other if something is not right before it gets to a catastrophic stage. It’s almost as if their past experiences gave them an inbuilt radar, which helps them recognize when things are not going well – and immediately intervenes,” Strawson explained.

Additionally, instead of focusing on the negative impact of their parents' divorce, Markle and Prince Harry seemingly learned from it.

“Rather than just look at it as a negative thing that happened to them, they look at it as a learning aspect, it becomes what they don’t want to happen to them,” You can see, particularly with Harry who has been very outspoken about his mental health problem, the strain the divorce scrutinized by the public eye has caused, which makes it natural for them to realize their marriage is very important and they need to work on it,” she concluded.
