absublutely asked:


My wife and I have been married 11 years and there are a lot of un-resolved issues between us. We have been to counselors together, I have been to some personally and it seems like the problems are still there. Today, my wife mentioned that she thinks it’s time to consider divorce or separation. How do I know what is right? How do I go about doing it unselfishly?

    You know it’s right when you’ve exhausted all other options and the thought of being apart makes you happier than the thought of staying together. You won’t be selfish about it. Why? Because you’re already aware of it. And you’ve been thru both individual therapy and marriage counseling, so you’ve got a good head on your shoulders.

    You know when it is right when you can’t stop thinking about being happy and free from that person. Just try to do it as civilly and fair as possible, although that is very hard to do.

    The answer is in your marriage vows. For better or worse. If you don’t believe in that one you should never get married.

    After 11 years of unresolved issues that you cannot work out together or with the help of a counselor then I would think that it is time to hang it up. To go about it you have a discussion about each of your expectations, vow to do this civilly and stick to your words.

    u would know if your always so unhappy to be with that person, if u don’t have many good days, if theres more bad than good in the relationship. some people just weren’t meant to be with that person and won’t work things out no matter how much therapy they get. its hard when your getting divorced to be nice or fair. seems as if there is always one partner wanting to leave and one who doesn’t want it. just try to work out everything before u file because it can make it go much easier.

    Have you ever heard of the movie FIREPROOF ? You might want to think about watching it. My husband I did, and it has changed our lives for the better. There is a book mentioned in the movie called: THE LOVE DARE BOOK. We ordered it off the Barnes Noble website for less than $12. We are still working through the book doing the daily dares, but we have seem our marriage improve greatly! I highly recommend it.

    Divorce is never the answer, unless there are certain situations. During a divorce there will always be one that hurts the most. I read you both have been doing certain things to help your marriage but have you tried changing yourself before the other person. Have you both tired not to be selfish and tried to do more for each other than yourself. I know it sounds hard but sometimes we just need to learn to do things for others. Pray for your marriage and ask God to take care of both of you. Go to church and seek Christian counseling. Don’t give up yet keep trying a marriage is always worth saving and keeping.
