I'm on a mission for social change and my passion grows to help reduce divorce and inspire longevity in marriage. My motivation runs deep. I believe that divorce is damaging the psychological health of this nation and is particularly damaging to children. They emulate us, repeating a cycle of dysfunction. The divorce rate and its ramifications are out of control. Take a look at these statistics:
* The US divorce rate is 49%
* 50% of those age 30 and under are projected to have at least one divorce in their lifetime.
* One million children will watch their parents divorce annually. Half will witness a second divorce before age 18.
Personally, I've experienced divorce through the multiple marriages and subsequent divorces of both my parents, and a dozen of my personal friends. I can tell you first hand that living in a twenty-one year marriage is the greatest feeling in the world. Of course, we've had our own thoughts and temptations of divorce. But, we didn't act on them. We just let them pass us by and did not give them attention or energy. Where the attention goes, the energy flows.
It is worth it to stick it out! A long lasting love life is not without cycles of temptation, frustration, and exasperation. But it also must embrace acceptance, compassion, patience, and forgiveness. Hang in there. I will help you and teach you how.
