Our D-I-V-O-R...

You have probably heard that song made famous by Tammy Wynette in May of 1968. I am sure that song and many other songs help pave the way to making divorce more acceptable in our culture.

I will close with the lyrics of that tragic country song so you can see just how terrible divorce is on children, the song paints a vivid picture as you read the lyrics.

People want God to bless their marriage but they start godless relationships. People ignore God's standards of purity, fidelity and try to build marriages and families on their own principles and ideas as if God has not already spoken on the matter. 

Even worse today people think they can have children, then divorce and the children will not be affected by the ripping apart of their home life. People make excuses and believe their own propaganda that children are better off in a single parent, weekend swap  than living with two unhappy adults.  The truth is that neither situation is right and it is incumbent on the adults to seek to make their marriage God honoring and then these other things would flow properly. God said it better in Matthew 6:33

Your ideas, or the crazy philosophy you have been soaking up from Oprah just need this one verse applied: Proverbs 3:5,6. Your understanding and Oprah's understanding are not better, are not wiser and are certainly not more relevant than God's.

If you are heading down the road to divorce, hit the brakes and call on the name of the Lord. You will just take your hurt and your problems right into the next relationship, again and again. Stop ruining your life with your own ideas. Look up those verses and ...

I leave you with the lyrics of a tragic country song:
Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas
Or his fifth birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
And turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's drippin' down my cheek.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
