Divorce Can Improve Life

What’s worse than living in an unhappy marriage?  The misery bleeds into every other part of your life—you don’t perform as well as you should at work, you’re short-tempered with the kids, and you feel like snapping at family and friends over little things.  It makes sense.  It’s nearly impossible to compartmentalize a terrible relationship with the person who’s supposed to be the most important person in the world with you. Your life is a wreck.  But you have the ability to change things.

A Divorce Can Change Everything 

Have you considered starting over?  If your marriage is that miserable, it might make sense for everyone involved:

You are basically sleepwalking through life, passionless, with no dreams and no possibility of gold at the end of the rainbow. Being married has sapped the life out of you. There’s no one to blame for the situation: the marriage wasn’t working for 101 reasons.  Plenty of things brought it down: your age, money, religion, stress… the contributing factors are endless. The bottom line is that you haven’t been happy for a long time, and neither has your spouse. But there are possibilities if you fight for a second chance!  You’ll be able to look at the world with fresh eyes, and it can change everything:

1. For starters, it could improve the relationship you have with your spouse. Not having to rely on one another for every little thing, you may be able to see one another as people, not just as a spouse who’s failing at making you happy. Stranger things have happened.

Your time, your space, and your life will be yours alone.  Yes, there will still be expectations related to work and parenting, but your life will be yours again.  You will pick the ways you spend your time, the food you eat, the friends you see. That kind of empowerment will be beyond refreshing.

6. Real happiness is yours for the taking. It might be in the form of travel, work, creative endeavors, or even a chance at real love.  Are you willing to bypass all those possibilities just to wallow in a loveless and wretched marriage?
