Lesson 12!

Over the past few days we have been talking about divorce, and remarriage. 
This topic hit home a little bit because I have a family member who has been divorced and remarried, and it's kind of hard on their family.
While sometimes it might be necessary to get a divorce, I definitely think it is something that needs a lot more thought than people usually give it.
The children in these two families that were brought together have been affected so much in a negative way because of it.  It makes me so sad to see how much harder their lives are because of this little detour they took.
I have seen how it is hard to have a joint family, but I definitely don't think it's impossible to make it work.  My dad also has somewhat of a joint family, and they are our favorite people to be with, because it really seemed to work out in that family!
It scares me a little bit because I'm afraid of divorce or ever thinking that I might have to go through one.  So that is something I really think about when I am dating around; making sure I find someone who really shares all of my values and is willing to work hard at hard things.
Getting a divorce isn't the end of the world, however, and I am not trying to say that if it happens your life will be miserable.  But it's for sure something to think about before you just run in and sign those papers.
