Is Divorce Ever Okay?
The institution of marriage or how we see it permanency of the institution, Over the past decade, things have changed drastically.
The dominant view seems to be that this union before God is not meant for ever and can be ended by petty disagreements. People are more flexible than they are firm in their commitments.
That raises the question — is it ever okay to get divorced?
Social media is one reason people are becoming more open-minded about marriage. That isn’t to say social media contributes to divorce, though studies showing it leads to cheating wouldn’t be surprising for obvious reasons. Maybe social media has become a juvenile version of marriage.
Maybe some people look at wedding photos or engage posts and then think “All my friends are taking pretty pictures on Instagram and on Facebook in white dresses. So when is it my turn to take pictures in white dresses and to caption my Instagram story with my husband ‘my forever date?’”
So, for some people of my generation, marriage is not a common trend. The divorce rate for married American females is now lower than the peak of the 1980s. However, it is still twice what it was back in the 1960s.
As I discussed today on my show, divorce is often driven by frivolous motives. However, there are grounds to end a marriage.
On today’s episode of “Candace” I was focusing on women and not men.
I started thinking about this topic when I saw a woman posted online about ending her relationship with her husband because he wasn’t concerned that she was 20 minutes late for work one day. Her employer accidentally called him instead of her and he didn’t mention it to her until she brought it up that night. Her main complaint was that he wasn’t concerned about her well being, which she knew. “more” There are many.
And that’s just what many women tell themselves.
There is always something “more” out there they deserve, and it’s better than what they are getting with their current spouse.
That “more” It is often the fantasy that there is a Prince Charming who will not present any problems or squabbles. Many women who end things think it’s not worth their time to work through issues, and simply end things, knowing they can hop on a dating app, swipe, and find somebody new that very day.
Ladies who believe in this, I have good news.
There is no such thing a perfect partner. This is just a fantasy. It will not be found and it is likely that you will find another reason to end the marriage.
This is not to say there aren’t legitimate reasons for divorce, but I was curious what fans thought about the issue.
So I asked my Instagram followers when they realized it was over with spouses. I wanted to find out their breaking point.
As you can see, there were some innocuous answers.
One woman said that her husband lied to her the first time she saw him. Lying is never okay, but it’s not always grounds for divorce.
Well, unless it’s a really big lie — such as your husband being a fraud and cheating on you with men— then you might be justified in your decision. One Instagram user told me that she had to divorce her husband because he was cheating on him with gay lovers. Many women probably wouldn’t give their husbands a second chance after the first time that happened.
If you’re a Catholic, it likely would be grounds for annulment in the Catholic Church as well, which means the Church dissolves the union. It’s as if it never happened. However, there is a process to do that and it must meet certain criteria.
Another woman then messaged me to inform me that her husband had shot her while she was asleep and she had divorced him. This is an excellent reason to end the relationship.
So yes — there are real grounds for divorce sometimes: Violence, lies so deep you never would have married that person had you known the truth, child endangerment due to a toxic relationship, and more.
There are also bogus excuses. Maybe those reasons arise because the couple didn’t properly prepare for what the union demands before tying the knot.
One Instagram user stated that her husband’s breath made her want kill him. Okay, that is a bit harsh — to put it lightly— and not at all justifiable.
My real question is — what were you two doing before you got married?
Did you not spend enough time together that you didn’t realize his breathing would make life so unlivable for you? I remember being in a serious relationship with a boy, and we were sitting together on the couch. I realized everything he did — his breathing, sneezing, coughing — drove me
