With each generation, divorce rates seem to be on the increase and couples of today are usually quick to end their marriage without putting reasonable efforts to save it.
These are some bitter truths you should know about divorce:
- Your children suffer the most when they see their parents fight each other for a divorce. Even if they don’t tell you, they feel a lot of pain and grief. Divorce is tough for children, which is painful for the parents who love them. Validate their feelings, protect them from the conflict, and constantly reassure them it’s not their fault and you both will always love them. You and your spouse both likely want what is best for your children but you may have different ideas what that means. While fighting for a few extra overnights a month may feel like it’s in your child’s best interest, it’s probably not. The longer and more conflicted your divorce process is, the more potential it has to damage your children.
- Bad marriage is a product of both partners and not just one, but couples somehow tend to blame each other when the marriage goes bad.
- A sustainable marriage isn’t just about love, but tolerance also. When any of these two is lacking, your marriage would suffer.
- Your kids would always have that wish that their parents come back together and live like one big happy family.
- The period of divorce would bring some traits you wouldn’t believe you have.
- Many marriages don’t just end after divorce, especially when they have kids. The marriage might be over but some things could still linger on.
- Divorce could make you both lose your minds.
- Divorce isn’t just about you and your spouse. Your children also have their own share of the experience and you wouldn’t believe what’s going on in their minds.
- Sharing properties isn’t that easy.
- Most partners don’t try to save their marriage till it’s pretty late and the problems have reached a point where it cannot be solved.
