Single, Married, Separated And Life After DivorceThere are few human experiences that are more tragic, devastating, and generationally impacting than divorce. Perhaps you will agree that few of us can say we have not been touched, affected, or do not know someone who has been hit by this traumatic social specter. I have traveled to many countries with varied cultural differences and unique social settings. And I have spoken and lectured in seminars, conferences, and conventions across the complete spectrum of socio-economic strata. I have seen the scars of divorce manifest themselves like open wounds oozing with hurt, bitterness, hatred, anddisillusionment. You may be amazed to learn that in many of my audiences, up to60 percent either have been divorced or are products of a divorcesituation. Much of modern society around the world is experiencing the negative results of this relationship tragedy. In simple terms, divorce is the physical and legal termination of a marital vow that was intended to last forever. In counseling thousands of individuals, I must conclude that I have not seen any experience more traumatic than a divorce. The emotional effect is unbearable, the physical toll is astounding, the spiritual impact is immobilizing, and the social cost can be self-inflicted isolation and low self-esteem.

Marriage, between a man and woman, is the foundation of all human societies. The reality is that when children become adults, most of them will get married. In the United States, each year there are over two million marriages; that is four million people who are saying “I do” to the question, “Will you have this man to be your wedded husband?” or “Will you have this woman to be your wedded wife?” Almost all these couples anticipate “living happily ever after.” No one gets married hoping to be miserable or to make their spouse miserable. Yet we all know that the divorce rate in Western cultures continues to hover around fifty percent, and the highest percentage of divorces occur within the first seven years of marriage. People do not get married planning to divorce. Divorce is the result of a lack of preparation for marriage and the failure to learn the skills of working together as teammates in an intimate relationship.
