I really hope that my family will not turn into this one. Neither now or in my future family. How about you?

Hello there my friend. I understand how and what you feel. I know that there are dull moments seeing other families intact. But, be grateful despite what happened. Be inspired. Everything happens for a reason, right? And God never gives us problems that we cannot solve. We must learn from it also. Thanks so much for responding. I am very glad. Just pray. Stay happy. GOdspeed!

Nobody wants to have a broken family and neither do I. I just hope that it wont happen to me. It's sad to know that there are lots of broken families.

I definitely agree with you. Nobody prays for negative things that's going to happen to them. Yes, it is really sad to know that there are things which we, ourselves, cannot control. Thank your so much for your response. Godspeed!

I agree with what you have said friend. I just feel bad and sad for those people who are not that serious enough in terms of handling with their not just "partners" in life. I hope and pray that cases of broken families will descend. Godspeed!

I feel sad for them. It is not easy for a child to have only 1 parent. It seems incomplete. I'm lucky that my family is intact. Seen my parents fought before but they stick it to the end no matter what. That is how should relationships should be. Nowadays, married couples get divorced the following day for the simplest reasons. That's not good.

I got your point! I agree with it! It really feels so incomplete. But, in my own opinion also, divorce, separation and the likes, have to take place, if it really calls for it. Like,if the married couple hits one another, or neither of the two is not that "man enough." The couple must be considerate also especially when they have kids of their own. Their children are the ones who's going to suffer from the dilemma they have created. I am also lucky enough that my family is intact. Stay happy always. God bless.

My family has turned into "brokenness" because of all the forces which are anti-God and His design for individuals and families. Since at least the 60's the US Congress has known of the horrific consequences of "Broken Families". They did studies and collected evidence and proof of all kinds about the effects: poverty, gangs, crimes, disease, anger, and so much more. Yet, they allowed groups like NOW and the gay and lesbian coalition to push through an UNCONSTITUTIONAL, EX-POST FACTO "law" in almost every state, called "no-fault" divorce. And so, instead of protecting marriage and children, as the intent and "weight of the state" is supposed to do, the "weight of the government" is now allied with allowing deserters, cheaters, and others wishing to abandon their marriages and responsibilities with IMPUNITY. The effects have been lifelong and disastrous, as we see in our now scary society. Our children go unprotected financially, physically, emotionally, psychologically and in so many ways; their hearts are torn apart by divorce and, to me, it's like performing a living abortion. A child loses one or both parents, security and stability, and above all safety and protection. The devastation is immeasurable, both to individual families and to all of society. Strong families make for strong countries. America is now a weak country for turning away from God, family, and liberty in favor of secular humanism, big government lies, and tyranny.
