Today we are going to be talking about divorce! Most people now a days believe the famous statistic that has been widely accepted that 50% of marriages end in divorce. Now it was very interesting to me to find out that this statistic isn't actually true. The real divorce rate actually circles about 36%. Divorce isn't as common as everyone thinks and it is actually a very serious action that deserves more thought before it is actually done. Divorce has definitely become more common than it used to be, in fact Mexico has made it necessary to renew your marriage after just 2 years, and if you separate before those two years there is no paperwork required. But just because divorce has become more common does not mean that divorce has become a smarter option.
There are a few interesting things about divorce as re-marriage that should make you think twice about the decision. Most divorces stem from a lack of communication or a lack of willingness to forgive. Between the second and fifth year of a marriage and the birth of a couple first marriage is the most common time for a couple to divorce, but after 7 years the divorce rate significantly decreases. Even after divorce the majority of couples, in fact about 70% admits that their marriage was savable and that they only had to try harder. Now I have had my fair share of regretted decisions, but when it comes to finding and staying with the love of my life i plan on having no regrets. Whatever happens I want to be able to say that I am giving me all to the person that is my all. Remember the affects that divorce will have on your children, and love them enough to stay together. I promise that you will be happier that way!
This will be my last post about my learnings in this class, but I am incredibly grateful for all those that read what I had to say and I hope that I could help you in some way! I know that God is our loving Heavenly Father and that our Lord Jesus Christ lives and loves us! Share the love my friends!!
