EPISODE 17 -- DIVORCE LOVE AND MARRIAGE -- PART 1
<p>Judith and Boaz get personal and discuss divorce, love and marriage. What happens when you marry right off your mission? In the church, is having sex before marriage worse than marrying the wrong person and being in a bad marriage? Does our society place an unrealistic value on marriage? (at all costs?) When is it time to admit it's over? How to divorce your spouse and still remain friends. Is it really better to stay together for the kids? How to put the kids first when a marriage ends. The overarching consideration in every decision you make during divorce is what's best for the kids. Remember you chose this - they didn't. Realize what you say in anger is not going to be useful; it's not going to make you feel better. There's not even a venting benefit to responding in anger because all it does it make the other person escalate. Vent to friends, family, therapist instead. Remember that you won't always feel angry and bitter, but you will always have the memory of how you handled it. The only thing you can control is how you respond. Divorce is going to be painful no matter what. Give the other person some grace. Don't exaggerate their faults. It's ok to acknowledge the good even if it didn't work out.</p>
