Between Two Worlds: The Inner Lives of Children of Divorce by Elizabeth Marquardt

What about the idea of “sticking together for the sake of the children” - read Between Two Worlds and at least consider the realities that divorce has on the lives of children - which is different than the impact on the lives of the husband and wife.

Bryce Hopson’s Three Points to Address:

Pride - pride is the only poison that is good for you when swallowed. Pride is a killer of relationships and commitment. Sin blinds us to the truth that we need to address.

Truth - so important to build good community, individuals who are able to speak truth and point out your “blind spots.” Constructive criticism is vital for your journey - people who are able to point out areas that need attention and improvement. Get plugged in to a good church - look for an older, godly, spiritually-mature man to mentor/disciple you.

Patience - change happens, you need to work to weather the storms of life - there will be times of trial and seasons of calm - your “marriage should outlast your love” - don’t let feelings be your guide rails in life - let truth be your guide! Having trouble - get counseling to help you address various issues in your life and relationships.
