Easier said then done! I am not an advocate of divorce and I believe strongly that you should make your marriage work no matter what. Love the one you're with even when they are unlovable and try to work things out.
I have gone through a divorce and I'll never do it again. It wasn't ugly when we were together, but it has been ugly since and we've been divorced almost 8 years now. You try to go about your business and as we mature and grow up you'd like to think that that is happening with "others" as well. Image my surprise when my son came home tonight and was telling me about a conversation my ex and ex-in-law was having about me. One has to wonder why they would have anything to say at all since you don't even speak to each other unless it is absolutely necessary. I feel bad that my son has to deal with that.
I thank God that he can give me the strength to deal with the continuing hurt. I wish that "they" would just go about their own business and leave me alone and leave me out of their conversations. I love my children with all my heart and I am thankful that is the best thing that came out of my divorce.
I love my new husband and I thank God everyday that I have someone who loves me unconditionally. We don't always see eye to eye, but we respect the fact that there are things we may never agree with and that's okay. It's awesome knowing that your spouse loves you, that he is honest with you, will hold doors open for you, will lend an ear (even when he is busy at work), and you know that no matter what he loves you for who you are and for how you are.
Thank you Lord for my husband, Alan R. Cook, Jr. And I will continue to pray for those who persecute me!!
