Divorce Journal Entry #6

4:49 pm

I just received the following as an email from a very good family friend:

“I personally believe that marriage is the union of two souls into one, not unlike the life that is created by the union of ova and sperm. A ‘life together’ is indeed a life that deserves nurturing and support and celebration, just like human life. The unfolding of life in marriage is like the growing-up of a person; there are ups and downs and failures and victories and wrong turns and good choices.

You don’t give up on a child because he fails one class, or breaks her arm in a fight; you don’t give up on a marriage because of an impulsive expression. In my mind, when a person – or a marriage – is sick, an appropriate professional is consulted for healing. For HEALING, because you always rally against Death. And in my mind Divorce is the death of a marriage.”
