Divorce may be the packed bags at the door. It may be the last call of solace.

Divorce is the two minute warning which moves you at the arrival of urgency.

Is it the exhaustion of possibilities? Or can it be love entering early retirement?

Divorce is rarely considered acceptable, but often pursued. It is a trap and death of marriage with no door of escape; however, it has many windows of opportunity.

Divorce is the dead-end on Marriage Love Lane. It is the after effects of infidelity, betrayal, and compromise.

Divorce becomes the prelude to lawyers and signatures, asset separations and distributions, court proceedings and alimony payments, as well as parent-child visitations.

The decision is the quiet before the storm.

Divorce is an odd and frequent occurrence which has been considered as a normal option for dissolving the covenant relationship of marriage.

Why does divorce occur? And why does it exist between two individuals who proclaimed that their love and affection for one another would endure a lifetime?

Is it because they have grown apart or have not grown up? Is it because of a lack of compromise or commitment?

The reasons are diverse and many, but rarely valid. They stem from temporal conditions, environments, and perspectives which have persisted over time undetected. They remain unresolved until passivity has plagued and corroded the marriage foundation. The conversations to follow involve that of earnest pleas and the provocative declarations such as:

We are one and the same.

Is there no agreement between friends? Is there no restoration for that which I am willing to lie down my life for?

I have pledged my allegiance to God and to you.

Will you deprive me of the liberty within my heart? Will you steal away the strength of my soul? Where art thou when my days turn into nights? Where art thou when my joy erodes into sorrow? Where art thou when my adventure becomes a journey?

I need you! I need you to stay! I need you to fight with me until our blood flows together again. Come and knock again on the door of my heart and I shall let you in. For you are the smile of my morning, the whisper of my day, and the caress of my nights.

Divorce hears the last created decree of the conscious: I love you and always will! The signals for divorce beckon you to try and reconcile differences and forgive the anguish which torments the soul.
