Don't forget to thank our provider for all of His blessings to your family. God does not want his people to divorce. He wants us to work at our marriages, not just to survive, but to become a reflection of His love in us, and through us. This is Dr. Linda Karges-Bone, and I believe God teaches against divorce for many reasons, and one of them is that children are always hurt and changed by divorce. Psychological research, sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health reveals that children of divorce grow up distrusting their fathers, and this leads to intimacy and trust issues in other adult relationships.
Divorce breaks sacred bonds, between husband and wife, and between parent and child.
Your affection for your spouse must be guarded and nurtured, for the sake of your marriage and your children's futures. This is Dr. Linda Karges-Bone, and when my students, who are future teachers, read the article that cites this research, they often cry. No wonder it is so hard to teach and reach today's learners. Many of them are trying to learn to read and count and express themselves with brains that are much smaller and less powerful than God intended. Infants need mother's milk, on demand, not on a schedule, lots of cuddling and conversation, stimulating toys, books, and music, and two parents who are committed to everything that I just listed.
