From our discussion on divorce, we learned that divorce has profound effects not only on the children, but on the couple as well. Many think that with divorce comes a dissolution of their marriage as well as their problems. This is a misconception. With divorce comes many more problems. You now have to work with your children between two places, you now have more financial issues due to court fees and separate spending on the children.
Divorce has many psychological effects on both the parents and children. With divorce, you lose someone whom you trusted and gave your whole life to. Now that you have gone your separate ways, it can be hard to view them trying to find other relationships--which most likely will not work out either--another misconception.
You can avoid divorce by communicating clearly with your spouse, learning to understand their point of view, being willing to compromise on issues, stating clearly your feelings, and trying to spend lots of time together. Divorce doesn't have to be the answer to a declining marriage, repentance can.
