Divorce - Is it an Option?
 |
You should ask yourself, have you put your 100% to make the marriage work? Have you done all that you could to please your spouse and make them happy, and still it has not worked?
Marriage means sacrifice. Sacrificing your desires for the good of the other and for the sake of the whole family. Marriage is compromise. If you only keep thinking about your own wants then no marriage will work. You should see what ‘We’ want. How ‘We ‘ can progress and bring happiness to the family. Only if you keep your attention on that, will the marriage be successful.
So if you have done your 100% and still it doesn’t work, and you find that you are totally incompatible, then instead of being in hell and both suffering, with a good understanding you say, 'We cannot get along so you walk your way and I walk my way. Let’s be friends and be happy'.
So, one must part with this understanding. There is no point in living in a furnace all day and all night.
