Thank you. God bless you for that.

This may be general, but I think it´s one of the most important things you could say. Thank you so much for encouraging me like this. It truly is that way: God will use it all for good. And if that good is, that I can show otheres how to stay faithful to God through the pain, I will gladly go...

Interesting. I agree on the part with every effort, but I believe I am still too young toapproach my parents like that. In general though, I think they should absolutely be asked that.

I can only repeat that. wow. What a beautiful thing to pray for! I for sure want that, and I know Christ can and will give it to me. The Holy Spirit brings us so much unexplainable joy

Thank you, I suppose it would definitely be a good idea to consider that. It does not take away much pain, but can help look at people more lovingly if you know they can´t help it because they themselves are emotionally not stable and broken inside. I don´t know about my parent but it might be...

this made me all emotional, thanks so much for posting this

Oh definitely- there is a saying here in Germany saying that there are fights in every home. By what I said I didn´t mean that conflict and disagreements and up and downs are not normal, because they obviously are. What I meant is there are not so many people who get the extent of arguing and...

@Live4Him, Thanks again for sharing so much and writing out so much, and for your compassion. I do believe our situation is a little different, if anything us kids side with the parent who is willing to work out things. That parent does very carefully not say bad things about the other- or did...

Also, what I forgot to say- I´m so sorry for the hurt you went through! I´ll pray for you. I can´t PM you by the way, I dont have that upgraded version:)

It such an important thing to always remain loving. I find it can get really hard, especially when someone continues to push you away for years ( I shouldn´t be able to say this about my parent at 16, it´s so sad.) However you encourage me to start over and over again. I am strong, this...

That´s true! One of my parents would be willing to work on the marriage, but the other is not and has given up, so it can´t be helped unfortunately. Obviously I will pray and believe things could change, but we all got a free will, don´t we? So if one parent is not willing to even see a...

No worries, I know this topic comes with really strong feelings It´s nice to hear that you understand me, I feel like many Christians can´t even imagine what this is like because they´re parents have such a typical perfect Christian marriage. I don´t know many people who get what we are going...

Thank you for your encouragement, I think it´s important to pray much more than most of us do!

I entirely agree, but unfortunately I am not the one who gets to decide as I am only 16. I am aware that there are problems in my parents´relationship with God, but that knowledge, or the knowledge about the bible´s position on divorce does not change the situation. I wish we weren´t in this...

Thanks for your prayers and your advice! I´m so sorry for everything you and your exwife went through, and I appreciate that you shared your story with me. I will definitely learn from it to deal with things quickly and to bring them before God as soon as possible. And yes, lets all focus...

Thank you so so much for taking your time to write this long reply, I´m very grateful, and it´s so good to read your perspective!! Thank you for sharing your experience with divorce. My parents have so far not separated because of the same two reasons you named, apparently for one of my parents...

thank you- it has helped to look at it as a sacrifice unfortunately I can´t help feeling it´d be better if they didn´t try sacrificing so much because it just makes us suffer so much. But maybe that´s not wise, and I´ll try looking at it as a sign of love.

Thank you! This helped.

Thanks for your kindness. God bless you

Hey, I recently learned that my parents stay together for us kids. One of my parents has informed the other that us kids are the reason my parents are still together in that parent´s opinion. This leaves me overwhelmed, feeling a little guilty and heartbroken for the parent who did not say...
