Georgina Hamblin's seven love lessons for Marie Claire ====================================================== ![Georgina Hamblin's seven love lessons for Marie Claire](https://vardags.com/images/pictures/_360/d5856d08fc9d414dc4e5ddb7b7eb6b64.jpeg)"As director of divorce and family lawyer at Vardags, Hamblin is widely regarded as one of the best divorce lawyers in the country," so *Marie Claire* introduced Georgina Hamblin for a feature in May's edition where they ask her for the secrets to a successful marriage. Espousing the importance of communication, honesty and valuing your partner, Georgina gave her insight as a divorce lawyer and working wife and mother. Having eventually begun to feel that the "walls were closing in" while she was on maternity leave, Georgina argues that having a life outside the home is a key aspect of making a relationship work. But with more women becoming the breadwinner, she explains the importance of valuing your partner's independent life as well as your own - a lesson foregrounded by a former client whose relationship echoed her own. "I often think of that client and try to work on it in my own marriage," Georgina said. Speaking with a touch of a divorce lawyer's realism, Georgina also had some sound advice for couples in case things should go South - think through difficult decisions carefully, and make a prenuptial agreement. "Some people think prenuptial agreements are unromantic, but if you do the financial planning while you're in a happy, loving place, it will be easier to draw up a fair agreement." Georgina's positive and pragmatic advice encapsulates the possibility of both harmonious marriages, and happiness beyond divorce.
