Both parties agree the marriage is "irretrievably broken." This is how today's divorce paperwork is now worded. There was once a time where there were NOT "no-fault" divorces. There was a time when divorce was actually NOT condoned, and instead fixing what was broken was highly encouraged. Today our world is minded very differently. No-fault divorces make up 50% of our population they say, and we sign our names to a dotted line below a statement that reads, "the marriage is irretrievably broken."
Is there such a thing as irretrievably broken? And, what does that even mean? Well, the statement means that no matter what anyone does, tries, says, or attempts there will be no reconciliation as a result. Discussion will not help, therapy will not help, trial separation will not help...nothing....there is no hope. That is so sad, isn't it? When you really think about it. Who are we to say there is no hope? Because, we are taught that where there is God, there is always hope. Right?
I feel like when you reach the point you are discussing the BIG D you might need to re-evaluate yourself...not just slander your once-was-partner.
I'm not quite sure where I was headed with this entry...I know a few people enduring divorce, in the midst of divorce, and ending a divorce...I suppose that's what sparked my interest....
Thought for today...where there is God, there is ALWAYS hope...not just in divorce...in anything...cancer...arguments...estrangements...friendships...there is always hope...
