Be On Your Guard and Don't Be Unfaithful By: Vivian Bricker "'The man who hates and divorces his wife,' says the Lord, the God of Israel, 'does violence to the one he should protect,' says the Lord Almighty. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful" (Malachi 2:16). Growing up, most of my friends had divorced parents. Out of all of my friends, only two or three actually had parents who were not divorced. This caused me to think it was a rite of passage for every married couple to get a divorce. Since it had become so normalized, I thought this was simply a normal part of life. Whenever my parents would get into an argument, which was often, I would often wonder if they would get a divorce. Looking back now, this thought never actually scared me. Yet again, since I had seen it to be so common in my friend's lives, I wasn't scared of having divorced parents. My sister was much different, as the thought of having divorced parents terrified her. My sister is a year older than me, so maybe she had a better grasp of the issue, but nonetheless, she didn't like the idea of divorce one bit. |
