Divorce - Don't Be Quick to Let Go - By Mugendi Elizaphan
You want a divorce? Think again. In almost all troubled marriages, each spouse thinks that the other is the cause of the trouble. Very few husbands can look inward to find out if he has had any contribution towards the trouble. And the few that do a self search always find a fault in them which if acknowledged always leads to a very positive path towards restoration.
This also applies to the wives. Most of them always see the wrongs the husbands have committed and the good they have not done. This attitude, if not checked, leads to a fatal crash of any marriage. Each spouse should always make every effort towards the well being of the marriage. When things do not seem to be working well in your marriage, the best question to ask yourself is; "what have I failed to do?" or "what role have I played towards the situation?" with this kind of an attitude, every marriage will survive any kind of storm.
Divorce is never a good option but when a husband and his wife engage in a game of blaming each other, then the enemies of marriage score. I mean as much as you search yourself, there are troubles that are caused by some 'external forces'. When this is the case, know it is time to stand together and save your marriage. How do you stand together? Pray, keep talking to each other; silence is never an option in such circumstances, seek godly counsel for it is God who instituted marriage.
Happy marriages are built - not bought. Take responsibility and build yours. If you run away, you will keep running the rest of your life. Your wife is the BEST. Your husband is the BEST.
