A Broken Family

Marriage is a sacred reality, a bond of love, which should not be broken, except for very serious reasons. Unfortunately, many people enter into it without serious thought and proper preparation. No wonder they frequently find themselves unable to cope with the situation then decided to end it by breaking up. As we informed, the breaking up of a family is one of the worst events in our society nowadays. It is bound to cause a lot of suffering, especially for the children, who find themselves caught up in a situation they can neither understand nor control. So, how can we solve this problem? Any ideas?

I have been through this and I don't often talk about it. First of all, it is a painful process to go through even more painful when you witness your parents fight all the time. It is better for me to see them go their separate ways. But when I was growing up I feel ashamed because i don't have one parent. But I didn't blame them for it. As I grew up I guess this has affected my relationships. I'm glad that now they are friends. It's good to see them civil with each other.

Hello Axai2012... I am sorry to hear about what had happen to your parents. But at the same time I am glad to hear that everything's fine with you now. Don't be ashamed for what had happen because you are not the only one facing this kind of problem. Good for you because you're able to accept it. Others, they can't dare doing that. Keep on moving my dear and never losses hope.

If only couples would apply bible teachings in their married life, broken families would not exist. God, who established the first family, has provided as a great book for us. Sad to say that only few people really understand what the bible says. Reading the bible everyday will not only help couples to be closer to each other but with God as well. By doing that, they are creating a third strand that will make their married life stronger. Make God the center of your marriage.

whatever happened a broken family is really really an unhappy and pity thing though divorce maybe to somebody is reasonable or a right choice. It hurts anybody in their family. I think a country had better elevate the thought on marriage and divorce, people will marry and married are all responsibble for their behavior and members of their family.

Marriage is right and it is good, but sometimes something happens to cause one or both to be dissatisfied. I am married now but was divorced years ago. We fought and argued for 4 years,and it was not good. I did a lot of studying and and reading about the effects of divorce on the kids (we had 4)and the end result was that a child is better off with one stable parent than they are with two who cant get along. The kids did not understand it at the time but now as they got to know their mother better they understand. Try consuling and and try to work it out if you can come to an agreement,that everyone is happy with then that's great. If not its best to part company. The thing is neither one of you should have to live in Hell.

That's why marriage really is a mirage. Before marriage pagans would have hand fasting rituals. They would enter this ritual and agree to stay committed for only a year. After that one year if one chose to leave they could. It's plain and simple and really the best way to go. Many women enter marriage without even knowing their partner. Perhaps after a hand fasting ceremony and they are with their partner for a number of years then they should consider marriage. People change when they get married and I believe you should be able to end it if there is no way of getting along. One partner expects the other partner to do certain things; to wear their hair a certain way; to wear certain clothes and at the same time are only there to be put on display -- are we really in the 21st century if so then why hasn't this changed?

I think that some couples rush into marriage without realizing the strength of commitment that is needed on both sides. it seems easier to give up the struggle than to make somethig enduring and lasting when things are not working out to their satisfaction. Unfortunately when these relationshis involve children it becomes even more complicated a situation. Childless couples only lose each other in the fallout of a broken marriage. Marriages with children break them apart as well. Marriage and family are strong institutions that need both care and commitment to survive.

till now, i haven't seen any breaking in those families i know or i have met to. In my opinion, when such situation is about to arrive like Divorces then parents should first consider preserving their children's life and then do what they really want or need. It is surely a disaster and every family member should try to avoid breakings.

Solve a problem like this is almost impossible. That's why a lot of people that get married do that in a very light way. Maybe, they don't love for real each other and, at the first difficult, they break up. It is a really sad thinks, exspecially when there are children. But this is our society. The only way for change it is know if you love for real the persone who are you getting married.

Hi this is a nice topic. Well, i think I belong to what they call the broken family. My mom and dad separated when i was i think 6years of age until now.My dad chose to live with his mistress rather than choosing us. Anyway, i cannot judge them both for what had happen to their marriage and soon why i grew fatherless. I think the only solution to that problem,don't be selfish. Remember that when you enter marriage or if you have sons and daughters, It's not about your self anymore! Remember that someone will get affected for whatever decision a coupe would take. That's why when i get married i promised myself,i will remain strong and be faithful to my vow. To love my family more than anything else.I don't want my son to grew fatherless or homeless.
