Turning Towards An Alternate View of Divorce

Sometimes it happens. Two people fall out of love and lose their connection to one another.   Maybe they’ve tried hard to fix things, to no avail.  Maybe they have kept things going for so long that they run out of the energy or willingness to continue.  Maybe being together just doesn’t make sense anymore.  It happens, quite often, in fact.   That doesn’t mean these people are failures or that they are bad people.  But that’s probably what they’re thinking about themselves, due mostly to the dominant perception and narrative surrounding marriage. 

Couldn’t there be another way to look at it?  Isn’t it possible for this to be the best decision for two people, and their family?   I would say, it happens.  And if care is taken in the process, it doesn’t have to be the end of the world.  Instead it could be a wonderful beginning.
