I have not been on in a long while and I do apologize. I wanted to post a story that I thought many would love to hear, just in case they're going through a bad breakup or divorce. I'm young, have never been in a relationship, and therefore cannot speak for people who are in love with someone. I have my prejudices and I am deeply sorry if I come off as rude when I say marriage no longer means commitment in this country. Marriage to others means falling for someone, believing that love is all you need, and that if that person you married doesn't make you happy, you have every right to divorce them. Even if the two of you have children together. Children of divorce are more likely to have a divorce as adults than children of marriages that have remained intact. I wouldn't condone divorce but I do believe people have a definite right to divorce, especially since marriage is more of a legal matter than a religious one. But I also believe that marriage is not just love; it is commitment, trust and honesty, and pure hard work. Loving someone without working on the relationship won't do much for the relationship.
Take a rebellious child and their parent. A rebellious child does not hate either parent; s/he loves both but because s/he is young, they are less likely to know exactly how to mend a relationship. When they get older, many (not all, unfortunately) rebellious teens turn out okay and come back to work on their strained relationship with their parents. Once that rocky relationship has been tackled, there's more room to grow. And yes, parenting is whole 'nother level of love. It's love between child and parent and can't compare with love between two people. Yes, I understand that. But it's the importance of working on a strained relationship rather than giving up on it.
Again I'm not going to judge anyone, especially those who have been abused. I am not criticizing anyone, I simply wish that marriage stayed traditional otherwise marriage means nothing in this country. All it means, legally, is that you receive certain benefits. (The ones who have been abused, I recommend you try to do your best to get help immediately. It's difficult, my mother's been there. But it's not impossible. I pray for you.)
Here is a link to a story that I would like to share with you for those facing divorce (there are other stories on the site that are quite meaningful--these are stories that contain morals, life lessons): http://www.moralstories.org/until-death-do-us-apart/
