Four Things You Should Know About Divorce By Jemimah Macaday

We've fallen out of love" and "We just aren't meant for each other." These and other popular clichés have unfortunately been heard between husbands and wives today. If you are a married husband or wife, whether newlyweds or been wedded for years, do you feel the same as the aforementioned statements? Well, you are not alone. BUT! At this moment, try to stop--and think before making a speedy decision to end your marriage.
Here are a few but crucial things you must know about divorce.
1. The Financial Problem
Marital separation worldwide proved to have injuriously affected women financially. A seven-year European study, headed by Mieke Jansen, exposed that after split-up, the income of women dropped off by 17 percent, while men's income increased by 11 percent. According to Jansen, this is more difficult to most women because they have to find a job to support them and their children's material needs, plus the fact that they have to deal with the emotional and mental stresses brought about by the separation.
So stop and think. Divorcing your mate may shrink your earnings. If the custody remains on your side, it would be much harder since you would have to sustain yourself and your children's needs.
2. Issues On Parenting
One woman in Britain who divorced her husband admits that she faced the challenge of being both mom and dad to her kids. It placed real pressure on her part for she had to do all the decisions by herself.
Same scenario might happen to you after divorce. You couldn't help but negotiate with your ex regarding issues on visitation arrangements, financial support, discipline, and so on. Though custody arrangements are set forth in the court of law, those may not be what you exactly wanted yourself.
3. Its Effect On You
At the height of conflict with your spouse, you might really be enraged by your hard feelings towards your mate. However, after the separation, your feelings of hatred and bitterness may still remain. There may be times when you have to deal with a crushing emotional distress.
4. Its Effect On Your Children
While divorce has an undeniably devastating effect on both mates, the truth is, it may have even greater and more devastating attack on the children. This becomes more complicated when the spouse does not encourage healthy relationship with the ex-mate.
Apparently, divorce results to unpleasant occurrences not only between the ex-spouses, but within the children as well. (Experiences and studies have proven so.) If your spouse has become unfaithful and you feel you need to split-up, think about the consequences of your action. The four factors as considered in this article may open up your mind and prepare your heart with the challenges that will come after your decisions.

MOMENTS with YOU By Dennis and Barbara Rainey

June 16 Out in the Open The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:25 Being "naked" but "not ashamed." This is why we get married—not just to have sex, but also to become emotionally intimate with another person. We want someone we can be openly transparent with, someone who accepts us, even when we're being our real selves. Yet although this is what our souls long for, many couples—especially young couples—hide this need behind the mere act of sexual togetherness. They find having sex easier than opening up to each other spiritually, where the potential for hypocrisy and awkwardness always exists. Sex can be easier than opening up emotionally, letting someone else in on their fears and worries and dreams and deepest feelings. That's why, even when the level of sexual intimacy is high in a marriage, the level of real transparency can still be surprisingly low... and subtly debilitating....

A review of the book 'four loves' by c.s.lewis

"We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves." We hear often that love is patient and kind, not envious or prideful. We hear that human love is a reflection of divine love. We hear that God is love. But how do we understand its work in our lives, its perils and rewards? Here, the incomparable C. S. Lewis examines human love in four forms: affection, the most basic, general, and emotive; friendship, the most rare, least jealous, and, in being freely chosen, perhaps the most profound; Eros, passionate love that can run counter to happiness and poses real danger; charity, the greatest, most spiritual, and least selfish. Proper love is a risk, but to bar oneself from it--to deny love--is a damning choice. Love is a need and a gift; love brings joy and laughter. We must seek to be awakened and so to find an Appreciative love through which "all things are possible." " The Four Loves  deserves t...

Romantic Words For Him By Alexandra Fox

Sometimes, I give lectures and seminars   to groups of women around the country.   Mostly small groups of less than 50   women, but I still have a lot of fun   meeting them and listening to their love   problems -- and giving them   life-changing solutions!   After giving these talks for several   years, I've learned something very   important -- the way I speak to my   audience has a big effect on how they   respond to me. And certain words have a   much bigger effect on them than others.   It's not just me, either -- I've also   realized, especially during our open   forums, that virtually every woman in   the world "talks" to herself. This   self-talk is often unconscious, and --   unfortunately -- it's also often sad and   depressive. Many of my clients look at   themselves small -- "I'm not pretty,"   "I'm not sexy enough," "I'm not as smart   as I w...
