Divorce

I think the information this week that kept sticking out to me is the D word.  Divorce. 

 It is such a hard thing.  Between Elder Oaks thoughts on Divorce and the video clip on divorce from ABC.  There was so much talk from the ABC report that kids said the negativity that came from parents and frustration.  There is fighting and anger.  The part that really stuck out for me that the kids have a hard time sharing their feelings because they don;t want to upset their parents, so these kids don't communicate and hold that in.  my heart broke for that. What a horrible discussion of the kids not being able to talk about how they are feeling and the fears that they have.  

                                                                     Divorce is so hard.  

Elder Oaks said this,"In contrast, modern prophets have warned that looking upon marriage “as a mere contract that may be entered into at pleasure … and severed at the first difficulty … is an evil meriting severe condemnation,” especially where children are made to suffer."   Many go into marriage as a way to be together and live together but not necessarily that it is covenant and commitment and it should not be gone into lightly. Marriage is meant to gone into the with love and that there is a way of love and commitment to each other. 

Divorce is just so sad. 

When we go into a marriage relationship with the idea of forever.  We will receive the blessings of the Lord and the confidence to work through our differences.
