A nurse told me once, "I'd rather come from a broken home than live in one." That's the best argument I've ever heard for divorce.
Divorce is unpopular. Little girls dream of their wedding day. Wedding Barbie is a runaway hit...
But Divorce Barbie doesn't sell well at all...
No one plans their divorce day. But no one plans on getting open heart surgery, either.
Think about other major relationships in your life. Friendships, for example. Most of us have had friends--really close friends--who we are no longer friends with. Why?
People change. They grow apart. Do they need to STAY friends out of some sense of tradition? Are they bad people if they don't? Is the whole friendship now a FAILURE because it ended?
What about jobs? How many people stay at their first job? Our first job is usually has two critical qualities:
1. it's close
2. it's willing to hire us
Do we need to stay at that job out of some sense of loyalty?
The same is true with marriage. We marry some person who pays attention to us. Since we've never been married before we have no idea what to look for. Most of us marry when we are young. Our hormones are raging our judgment is nonexistent.
But time passes and we grow. And change. We become more aware of what makes us happy and what doesn't.
I'd rather come from a broken home than live in one.
