My husband's parents were divorced when he was not yet a teen and it had a large impact on his life. It seems that his perspective of marriage and family was altered because of the divorce. He has shared personal feelings with me and I know that the divorce had some negative effects on him. Divorce can be a blessing to those who are in an abusive or violent relationship! We do not ignore that divorce can be a saving grace in these types of homes. However, we believe that when a husband and wife work together, forgive, and develop positive attributes, they can learn to overcome their struggles and work through issues that may lead to divorce. We do not deny that marriage takes work and effort, however we know that when that work and effort is put forth, marriage can be a wonderful blessing!
This is a collective blog by Lisa Ball, Sarah Kerns, Jessica Johnson, and Erika Walker for our BYU Idaho FAML~460 Child and Family Advocacy course. It is designed to provide information concerning the effects of divorce on families and how others have discovered and implemented significant ways to preserve families through the act of saving marriages. We hope you are inspired to help us fight against divorce and advocate for happy families!
