The Positives and Negatives about Divorce

By: Arianna

Divorce seems to be a common thing in many families. Did you know that 40% of couples are divorced every week?  Most people think that divorce is strictly a negative thing but you may be surprised that that there are some positives that can come from divorce. I believe that there is good things to divorce and bad things so I’m going to tell you both sides of my opinion.  The first thing I am going to talk to you about is how it is going against God’s law. The second thing I am going to talk about is how it causes stress amongst family members. Last but not least I will discuss some positives that can come from divorce.

It says in the bible. When we hold grudges against a genuinely repentant spouse and remain hardhearted toward her or him-whether or not we officially cast the person away-we hinder our own communication with God (1 Pet 3:7-12) and ultimately can invite our own damnation (Mt 18:34-35). And that is why divorce is obeying Gods law. But my opinion with this is that I agree with the bible because when you get married in a church the priest says in god’s name you will love each other till the end but it’s just like a big sin when you break that rule and that is not good so that is why divorce is a negative thing .

Next is another negative of divorce how it causes stress amongst all family members. For one thing the parents feel stressed because they think that there kids don’t love them anymore because they got divorced but being a kid with divorced parents we do know that you still love us. And they think that they don’t have a family anymore when they have step mom step dads and step brothers and sisters but that’s not true because now you have more people that love you and it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and that’s a good feeling.

There are many positives to divorce but I’m going to tell you some. Well one is that kids don’t get upset as much because their parents are no longer fighting because they are no longer together. Also, the kids get double of everything. To explain, the kids now have 2 sets of parents—2 moms and 2 dads. It is wonderful divorce is disobeying God’s law, it causes stress amongst all family members
