“My oldest daughter, Jenna, recently said to me, ‘My greatest fear as a child was that you and mom would get divorced. Then, when I was twelve, I decided that you fought so much that maybe it would be better if you did.’ Then she added with a smile. ‘I’m glad you guys figured things out.’”

Amazing how the ability of one partner to act can effect change on a marriage. I am happy the other partner responded back in kind at some point and the marriage was restored.

I am glad to see how God can restore a marriage. I wish things in marriages didn’t get to the point of divorce before people noticed what they are losing.

Praise be to God for His infinite patience and wisdom with us.

Excellent point. My divorce attorney told me the minute one lets the idea of divorce as an option creep into their mind the much more likely it will be the outcome.
Words of wisdom I believe.
