As a person who was divorced once I can say I am not proud of it. I divorced years ago (20 odd years ago) when I was young, stupid, and not on a clear path with God. Since then I have gotten right with Him and remarried. Not a day goes by I do not think about my mistake and the ramifications it had on me, the ex, and others. Btw, I did not divorce for another woman. Would I undo it? Not with what I know now and since I have two children and an adopted one from my second marriage. I have to constantly be reaffirmed that God will forgive me and live in guilt every day for the decisions I made when I was stupid and arrogant.
I won’t even get into the effects the divorce had on me financially and with other relationships (2 children from that marriage). Luckily, my two kids from the first have turned out great since I made sure they spent all the time I could with me from day one.
Bottom line, it still haunts me.
Thanks for your post 24. My criticism was not aimed at folks like you. I should have said that it was directed at those who commit serial divorces, i.e., two or more.
Everyone can be forgiven a first marriage which went bad since most of us are young and inexperienced when he or she first marries. After more than one divorce, though, I maintain that something is seriously wrong with your judgment and your sense of commitment.
