Marriage is a covenant of partnership where a man and a woman come together as one.In some cultures, it even goes beyond just the man and the woman—it is a union between families.
Yes, divorce is not a good thing, and I believe no one enters into a marriage with the hope of getting a divorce. We marry because we want that long-lasting covenant of partnership with each other, but that always isn’t the case.
Some of us believe that divorce is wrong and no matter what one faces in a marriage, she/he should stay in and endure it with prayers. WRONG, in my opinion certain conditions in marriages call for nothing, but divorce.
I am a living example. I was married for 20 years, and I experienced nothing but misery. I stayed around and endured it because everyone made me believe it was wrong to leave the marriage because of the children.
Well, let those people be in my shoes where I am beaten almost once every three years, and then they can understand why there was the need to leave. The abuse was physical, emotional, verbal, and mental.
Well, I left so I can live and experience happiness again. It was obvious that the marriage wasn’t meant to be. God’s hands were not in it, so I left, and that has been the best decision I have ever made. I am happier, healthier, and looking much younger than I did when I was in the marriage.
I found a good man who treats me like gold and respects me to death. I have remarried after almost 6 years of divorce, and I am so happier now.
Divorce is not a sin and it is not an abomination. If you are suffering in a marriage, pray over it and trust that God will give you directions on what to do. I don’t believe God wants us to suffer in our marriages.
If that were the case, then God wouldn’t have invented marriage. Marriage is a blessing when you find the right partner. Marriage is never suffering or pain. Don’t stay when you are suffering because of the children because in the end, the children suffer with you.
But when you leave and find a new happier life, your children also become happier. We shouldn’t be so quick to judge those who end up in divorce after marriage because until you have been there, you can’t tell what they have been through. Instead, we can pray, so that the next marriage for that person will be a good one, which will not end up with a divorce!
What is your take on divorce?
beaten every three years? is that really what the writer meant? then i would say her situation wasnt that bad because i know women whose husbands beat them up every other day, they are abused almost every day, am not saying yours wasnt bad but i think people experience worst things in marriage than being “beaten once in three years”…
@Eaglebabe, I share ur view.
@Eaglebabe,
Whether it’s a beating every day or a beating every three years, it’s time to get out.
@PB, thats true, its not a good thing to be in an abusive relationship
NOKRWE YE BAAKO P3!!
