There are many reasons why couples separate and divorce. Sometimes one of the partners doesn’t even have a say in the matter because of the “No Fault” Divorce laws that have been enacted in many parts of the world. The separation and then divorce is forced upon them even though they don’t want it to happen.
If you are caught up in one of those circumstances, please know that our hearts cry for you. It’s tragic that there are circumstances where one spouse has the leverage to negatively change not only the fate of the marriage, but also the fate of the children and whole family structure— splitting it apart by divorce.
And what’s also sad is that children are usually the last ones who have a say in this restructuring, even though it greatly affects their future.
And some of you are caught up in violent and abusive marriage relationships where your very safety, and/or the safety of your children is involved. And others of you are in a marriage where there has been unfaithfulness and adultery involved. Again, our hearts go out to you in sorrow. We understand that there are toxic marriages like this where you feel you have no choice but to leave the marriage for those reasons.
If any of those are the case, this article is not for you. This article is pointed towards those who are in “low conflict” marriages where you have children, and you are considering divorce because you’ve “grown apart” or you’re” bored” and want more out of marriage than you’re getting, or you just don’t want to be married anymore, or any number of other reasons that don’t involve violence, or infidelity, or a spouse who is making the decision to divorce without your say in the matter.
We would like you to read an article written by Elizabeth Marquardt, who has done extensive studies on the subject of divorce and how it effects children. We are hoping that it may bring a different insight into your decision-making concerning your marriage and divorce decisions.
