MONDAY’S MANTRA
Wow, it’s
August already! Thanks for joining us for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and
Monday’s Mantra with Trench Classes United. You’re in for a treat today with
some thoughts from our friend, Jenn Woolsey.
People
love to quote the Bible verse about how God hates divorce. Well guess what, He
does. But not for the reason it’s usually used... but because He hates the pain
it causes His children and the future generations.
I was in a co parenting class today… listening to tips on getting along and focusing on the child in a “reorganized family.” I found it helpful and I believe it’s necessary.
But, I can’t get this nagging thought out of my head: what are we doing to prepare people for the fact that marriage is so important; that it can’t be taken lightly? It’s not about the excitement of feeling in love or filling a void, or even creating a family. It’s about choosing to love even when you don’t “feel” like it.

I
listened to the stories of other couples, I know my own story. I was woefully
unprepared. I chose unwisely. How can we prevent this in the first place?
Oh to spend
more time on the answer before we are faced with the dilemma of this epidemic
of divorce.
Thoughtfully,
Jenn
