Oh Sirk... I had no idea your situation was so recent... I got my divorce in december 2010 and in some ocasions it still hurts... I won't say I understand what you're going through, cause each situation is different, and each person is a unique universe of complexity, but I can certainly empathize...
So I will be praying for you and for your ex! God bless you both through these hard times!

Oh my goodness... that's awful... but brace yourself... they do that... and it doesn't get any easier... my ex stopped doing that just this year... and he was the one that asked for the divorce... not kidding... every once in a while he would pop up unannounced... just to rub salt on the wounds... just be close to the Lord and do what you feel in your heart is best for you!

I think one mistake our culture has made is in believing two people being together should be really close all their lives and not give each other space and respect.
When we marry so young and quickly, when things change, pressures mount it is now easier to run away than face ones own failures and problems. I was thinking about how close and sometimes fighting my kids are, yet they would not disown each other. But it appears couples are quicker to dump each other rather than realise what they often rush into is the same as the thing they are rushing out of. But it he process so many people are deeply betrayed and hurt, for often selfish self pity reasons.
Our assistant pastor was so split in himself over this issue emotionally he cracked up, resigned, and 6 months later, divorced his wife and then moved in with one of the women in the church. So much pain.
When I talk about the conflicts and emotional ups and downs we have as a couple others start to realise they are not alone.
So many here talk about deep loneliness, as if sharing at a deep level is only bounded by a marriage relationship.
Intimacy goes beyond such relationships, into areas we really care about. As christians Jesus hopes this is our life blood. But often the language takes a long time to come to a point of trust and openness. Caring matters, but often it is the odd people who we avoid who talk like this. We need to develop better ways of reaching out to each other because so many burdens are carried alone, in their rooms.

Marriage, the union of a man and wife mysteriously & genuinely becoming one in God, represents the union between Christ and His church (us). God did not create marriage to be broken. But because of the hardness of people's hearts, they divorce.
I think God hates divorce most of all because men and women may reason that if their God-ordained marriage can be broken, so can their relationship with God. And that if their spouse who vowed to love them neglects and abandons them, maybe God will, too.
And when children come from a broken home, they could grow up believing God doesn't love them and may abandon them.
I believe God hates divorce because it's so heartbreaking and traumatic to His children that it perverts our view of His love for us and hinders our walk with Him. Divorce makes us struggle with depression and fear that we can do something that will disappoint God and He will leave us. We forget the truth that:
Nothing will separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.
Nothing will separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.
