Divorce Means Separating Two People That Were Sealed
April 28th, 2009 | 
Author: The dictionary defines divorce as the dissolution of a marriage and the separation between things that should go together. Divorce can prove to be very disturbing and surprising for a lot of spouses who are faced with the end of their marriage. Some of that dismay might come from figuring out they were never right at the time they wed and believed they belonged together.
Some of my friends who have gotten a divorce talk about how amazed they were at their feeling of failure. After I was divorced, I felt differently than those people. Years before I told my husband, I thought about leaving the marriage and gaining my freedom. Because of this, when the conversation happened, I was not surprised at all. He was the one who was shocked.
The feeling of failure was because I thought I should have recognized before we married that my husband and I were actually not things that should go together. Our families would have avoided much misery and wasted money had we only known of this fact.
We did not have any children so the circumstances might have been somewhat different compared to divorced couples who did. The fact that no children were involved might have affected my emotions. Rather than have a feeling of loss and failure, I really felt relieved when it finally came to an end.
However, from multiple discussions with divorced acquaintances who have kids, it’s apparent that divorce is harder on kids than the separated persons. The children of a divorce do not have any influence about the decisions being made but they are affected.
Two people decide to marry and they make that decision partly because they are positive that they belong together. We can give a reduction to partners who do this for financial or immigration reasons. In truth, unless they live together first, a couple cannot be sure that they are meant for each other. My mother told me that many years ago. There is great truth in the saying that determining what someone is really all about is never known for sure until you move in with them.
After studying the meaning of divorce from a dictionary, I think that often people marry the person they feel will complement them and when this does not turn out, the result is divorce. Then, after cohabitating and perhaps procreating, they discover they don’t pair well. Then they divorce.
