Do you still remember your first Mother's Day as a mother? Mine brings a smile to my face because it is a great blessing to be a mother.
My son is too young to greet me on that day but his being present is more than enough to delight me on that day.
But what if you come to a point where you are already considering divorce? Will your next Mother's Day be as delightful as it is now? Will your kids be with you on the next Mother's Day? You may say: "I have done enough.
I have sacrificed enough.
The pain is too much to bear.
" This I say to you: If you choose to divorce, you will pass that "unbearable pain" to your children.
So is it a choice of who will suffer more? You or your children? It doesn't have to be this way.
This kind of thinking will keep you off track.
Staying in your marriage for the sake of your children might be "noble".
However, it is not sustainable.
While your children is a good reason to stay married, they are not responsible for keeping your marriage.
Stop pitying yourself for choosing to be "unhappy" for the sake of your children.
Start taking action now so your marriage will not be a burden but a source of joy in itself.
Children and divorce should never be mixed together.
Let these truths sink in.
Understanding the above is already a big leap forward.
Losing hope in your marriage is like divorcing without the paperwork.
Get ready for the work ahead.
If you start sliding backwards, think about this.
Saving your marriage is easier than getting a divorce.
Too good to be true? No.
You just need some guidance.
It will help a lot if you read stories of saved marriages.
Even those who are suffering from the pains of affairs can actually be saved.
I pray that you make the right decision today and that at the same time next year, you and your kids are together, celebrating Mother's Day.
