Your marriage is in trouble and you are thinking of saving it, but everyone says why stop your divorce, just go ahead, it’s easy and you can start a new life. Whatever you do, don’t listen to them. There are ugly truths about divorce that everyone hides behind closed doors.
On a personal level, divorce can be a pretty miserable “place” to be. Imagine having to pick it all up again, rebuild a house, maybe even your career, essentially your life. Imagine starting dating again in your 30s and 40s and no longer being in the prime of your life. What if you have children? How are you going to handle that yourself?
Let me tell you, when you choose to work on your marriage and stop your divorce, you may not be choosing the easiest route, but possibly the wisest one. You will be surprised when you discover what you could be avoiding by stopping your divorce. Here are some facts that few people may not realize about divorce:
- Divorced people die younger than those who are happily married
- Suicide rate among divorcees is higher
- There are more official bankruptcies divorced than married
- On average, the income earned by a divorced person over a median lifetime is lower than that of a married person.
So you can see that it’s better to work on your marriage than to take the supposedly “easier” way out known as divorce. But isn’t it hard to save a failing marriage? Of course it is, why else would half of all marriages end in divorce?
Saving a marriage is hard work and is probably something the average person will not be successful at. It requires understanding of human nature, conflict resolution, character study, and much more. Fortunately, there are experts who can help you, such as therapists and counselors. But they charge you a lot to attend their sessions. Besides, the whole world will now know that your marriage is in trouble.
A less expensive and more discreet way is to buy marriage courses and e-books that these experts publish on the Internet. In this way, you can have expert knowledge at a reasonable price and use it in the privacy of your own home.
