| Divorce - Is It OK? |
|
| |
Well I really can't say whether it is ok for others or not. I am just going to speak as to what is going on in my life.
I remember taking my vows, in front of many various people of all religions. We announced we were putting Christ first in our marriage, then our marriage came next. I know that was a challenge just for Satan to break us right then and there. Then of course there was the issue of blending five teenagers, yikes.
As the teenagers made natural teenage mistakes, I was continually faced with my unresolved sin from my past. I honestly did not want them to feel the pain I felt and never delt with; nor did I want them to make the same mistakes I made. I never realized how it made my husband feel like a failure. I was so wrong.
19:13 A foolish son is ruin to his father, and a wife's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.
Of course over time, this created much anger and bitterness.
25:28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.
As much as we tried, we never could get this verse right.
5:33 But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.
Then I came to the realization that there was submission issues on both parts.
5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
Anger because of my trying to prevent future teenage pain because of my pain cause much anger. Then my submission failed, and it just crumbled.
3:18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
No matter how much prayer or fasting was done, no matter how much counseling was sought, no matter how much I tried to be a Proverbs 31 woman and he tried to forgive my fears for our blended kids we failed. As much as we tried, we differed in opinions of change.
4:13 I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
Then we came to the realization and agreement that we were unintentionally unequally yoked, and this was doing more damage than good for all.
6:14 Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
We are good friends, and he is an honorable man. I will miss his friendship, but it is better for all.
I don't know if it is ok, but most importantly we both have found our first love in Jesus again.
