Six Reasons Not to Get a Divorce
by “What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven! (Ps. 32:1)”.
The divorce epidemic is growing. People divorce for numerous reasons. They all desire a better life. Apart from legitimate reasons for divorce (e.g., adultery and abandonment), many justify their actions by clinging to several myths about divorce…
Greener Grass. What looks greener is usually weeds. Relationships least likely to succeed are those built on adultery. The sweetness usually turns sour.
Better for children. Divorce is actually devastating to children.
Not in love anymore. The same God who told us to love our enemies also help couples learn how to love each other again. Love is a choice, and the key is commitment.
Happier divorced than married. Divorce can bring guilt, anxiety and loneliness. Studies show more unhappiness for divorced men. Women nearly always suffer economically following divorce.
Freedom. The initial feeling of freedom usually gives way to a deep sense of failure. True freedom is found only within God’s will.
God’s will to divorce. Nothing could be clearer than Malachi 2:16. God hates divorce. While no one can live up to God’s perfect standard for marriage all the time, we’re not free to use that standard to excuse our selfish wilfulness. Seek counselling and prayer from trusted and discreet Christians.

Yea true that God hates divorce. Matters could be and must be resolved by meeting each other halfway.

A topic more people need to contemplate before walking into or out of marriage.

You are right, and I think divorce affects children the most.

Even though I have never once thought of dvorce, I think these are good reasons. Keep up the super work!!
My daughter won\’t get married because she can’t find a man like her father and my husband.

it IS scary to get married. and divorce is so much worse! asides violence there is no good reason for divorce. one cannot expect passion to last forever. friendship/companionship does.

I think people go into divorce too easily and don’t work as hard at the marriage as they could, though there are cases where divorce is the only option. A good post.

My husband and I have been married for 28 years. I think divorce is to easy and people just don’t try hard enough on their marriage. Marriage is work but worth the effort.

You are so young
And already thinking of divorce
It’s always better to live
With a devil you know
Than to live with one you don’t.
Sexual and mental compatibility
Are needed in marriage
So think before you leap
Having leapt
Then that one forever keeps
Or else not only you two
But all your children,
Kith and kin will weep

This was really interesting advice. I think people should try everything they can to make their marriage work before they decide that they should get divorced.

The best thing my brother ever did was get a divorce. He’s been happier, healthier and generally much better for it. There was no violence or hate in his marriage but it was slowly destroying him.
I don’t sign up to all this God stuff so I can’t really comment on that aspect of it.
I think the fundamental problem is actually that a lot of people get married too quickly only to come unstuck later. Love is not a choice but commitment certainly is.
