Laziness Is Divorce!

Why is divorce so rampant in many regions of the word? Divorce
happens so frequently because so many married people are lazy. Yes
lazy! They are very lazy. You see, marriage is work – its hard work.
But there are so many couples who don’t want to work it. When they
were engaged, they worked the relationship, they made sacrifices, and
they deliberately did things that would make the other happy. They
tolerated each other; they prioritized one another as much as they
could. They worked!
After marriage, they throw it all away. They stop making efforts they
know are tried and tested, efforts they know can help any relationship
to thrive are buried in the past and yet they expect the marriage to be
getting better. Then suddenly, one party wakes up one morning and
says “I want a divorce”. Do you know what that means? It means
that they still have all the energy and skill that they know can make
relationships healthy. Now they have decided that they are going to
make all those sacrifices over again but not with their spouse – in
their hearts, they have already chosen another man or another
woman. It may be someone that they already know or someone they
have made up in their minds.
More often than not when they get their divorce and marry another,
they quickly discover within a short time that both parties have
stopped making continuous efforts to make it blissful. The sweetness
disappears again. Again, they get another divorce and another and
another! They stay unhappy for life because they walked away from
happiness.
Don’t get a divorce. You retired from work when there is still so
much work to do. Start working again. And do you know the good
thing about work? Work always attracts work! When one partner in
a marriage resumes working again, it initially shocks the other person.
They would begin to think that it’s not real but go ahead, start doing
the first things again. Patience is critical. As time passes, you will
discover that work attracts work. The replies will begin slowly but
surely.
Divorce is many times a selfish planet. Often, it disregards the
welfare of the children and puts that of the spouse who is
demanding for divorce ahead of those of all others in the family.
Don’t get a divorce, remember exactly when and where the
relationship started crumbling and change your mind, make a U-turn
and resume from where you had deliberately stopped. Deliberately
restart and pray for your spouse and you.
Remember also how great things were when you began dating and
how you couldn’t bear to be away from each other. Gradually remind
the other of the good times by your words and your deeds.
Crumbling marriages are repairable.
Don’t get a divorce, see a smart marriage counselor like me, open up
to him or her and take your restoration as a project that must
succeed. Make plans; implement them, become very tolerant again
and pursue specific goals and peace. Change will come. Quit looking
at that person or stop thinking about that other man or woman
whether it’s someone you know or someone you made up. Hear it
from me, they will come with their own flaws – all humans have
them no matter how nice they may seem. That person may even be
worse than your spouse that you want to divorce – you never really
get to know people until you live with them. You have lived with
your spouse and you know their strengths and weaknesses. You can
make it work again just like you did before and immediately after you
got married. Focus on the strengths of your spouse and celebrate
them over and over again – celebrated people make efforts to stay
celebrated. Don’t get a divorce.
