A Rare Approach to Divorce
This past weekend, during my regular perusal of blogs, I came across a brand new one that I just had to pass on. It is written by a man - obviously not a Warrior Wife - but I'm thinking he may be a Warrior Husband. This man, Lee, has made a commitment that is very rare these days. After being married for 12 years, he and his wife are very close to a finalized divorce. His commitment is to remain unmarried in the event that his divorce is finalized and to continue to pursue full reconciliation with his wife with the purpose of remarrying (principles found in 1 Corinthians 7). There are only a few posts so far, but from what I've read - WOW! His approach is grounded in Scripture, his tone is encouraging, and his message is transparent. I have read a message of hope in nearly every post. I know that showcasing a blog revolving around divorce might be strange coming from a marriage blog, but I think this is worth it. I can't help but think that there are some of you who are close to divorce or who have recently experienced a divorce or who know someone who is. I recommend that you check it out and pass along to anyone you know who might benefit from such a radical perspective.

Thanks, Elizabeth, I'll check it out. It does sound very interesting and godly. Your blog is always interesting. Thanks! Gail
ReplyDeleteVery interesting blog. I had to put my phone down & grab my computer. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gail! I don't know his full story, but I think it could be a good resource for others who have chosen the same course, even if nothing changes in his situation.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to have this as a resource. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI really hope it is helpful!!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely one of a kind. I haven't seen this position taken by many people.
ReplyDeleteAwesome and good for him!!!
ReplyDeleteMy dad filed for divorce and mom told him she wouldn't sign, they went around with this for awhile and my mom kept praying. Finally she realized that she was wrong and she went to my dad with this: "I am your wife, I will always be your wife, even if the law here no longer says I am. As you wife I am called to submit to you, so in this I will submit and sign those papers. I don't need man to say I am or am not married to you. In Gods eyes, I am your wife forever."
The cool thing is, about 2 weeks from the court date, Dad took mom out to dinner with the excuse of working on settlement papers, but during the course of that evening he told her we didn't think he wanted a divorce any more and wanted to work on their marriage!!!
Wow! That so reminds me of the scenario in Francine Rivers' book The Scarlet Thread. If you haven't read it, it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteNO, i don't believe, I have. But I will!

The fact is that in order to do any thing in this world worth doing, we must not stand shivering on the bank thinking of the cold and the danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.

How refreshing. Especially after just seeing an article in ladies home journal that seemed to promote divorce and gave the impression that its the thing to do once your kids are grown and you finally get to do what you want for yourself. How sad that society holds such a view.
ReplyDeleteI heard about that article. I've got a guest blogger lined up to address that topic in the next few weeks.
ReplyDeleteIn jurisdictions adopting the no fault principle in divorce proceedings, some courts may still take into account the behaviour of the parties when dividing property, debts, evaluating custody, and support facts that almost always have considerable weight in fault proceedings. Thanks.
