It was obvious the lady had never come there before and I sort of drifted into the role of a tour guide. Although she was very sweet she seemed a bit tense and it wasn't very long before she revealed to me that she had just been divorced. As any of my kids would tell you I am very sensitive to that word: divorce. Over the years it has become abundantly clear to me that a divorce is something that adults do, and children go through.
Save Your Marriage, Save Your Children" Has Become One of My Battle Cries.
Have you ever done something you know you should not have done but instead of admitting it and accepting the results you find ways to rationalize? Of course you have and so has everyone else. We humans are pretty clever in our ignorance. When it comes to describing the results of divorce we have become masters of ignorance. Not only have we accepted divorce as normal but we have excused it completely and even come up with so-called benefits. We are now at the point where we suffer unbelievably if we have to go through a divorce yet publicly act as if it is no big deal. But it is a big deal. It is a huge deal and what it does to parents is nothing compared to what it does to children.
The Foundational Pillars of Each Child is The Mother and
The Father in Unity
Parents, do you know that these are not your children? You didn't create them. These children are God's. They are entrusted to those willing to sacrifice much for the privilege of raising His children. Yet our society has turned children into possessions that are fought over in courts of law. Despite all of the rhetoric of putting the children first during a divorce or separation, parents ignore the fundamental reality that they are trading away their commitment and obligations for the delusive possibility of an easier life when divorced. It won't come. All that will happen will be suffering on top of suffering as you watch your children lose the sure footedness they used to have in an intact marriage.
All Marriages are Fixable When You Know How
I have dedicated my life to saving children by saving marriages. God never intended for us to suffer in marriage; it is merely our ignorance of what is required that creates so much suffering. Don't give up. If your marriage isn't getting better every day it means you are doing something wrong. You don't need counseling, you just need to understand marriage.
