divorce

Divorce in a young-adult novel means what being orphaned meant in a fairy tale: vulnerability, danger, unwanted independence.

Divorce is a declaration of independence with only two signers.

There's nothing like a family crisis, especially a divorce, to force a person to re-evaluate his life.

Marriage made more sense when it was indissoluble. It's the woman trying to cope with the strains of a one-parent family who will suffer most from the relaxation of the divorce laws.

The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family.

'Sesame Street's' genius lies in finding gentle ways to talk about hard things - death, divorce, danger - in terms that children understand and accept.

Divorce is never a pleasant experience. You look upon it as a failure. But I learned to be a different person once we broke up. Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success.

I don't see divorce as a failure. I see it as the end to a story. In a story, everything has an end and a beginning.

I feel that marriage can lead to the ultimate rejection and failure and divorce and things we all fear.

I don't think anybody whose ever been divorced can tell you divorce is easy or fun or feels like anything other than a tremendous failure.

It is a pity he did not write in pencil. As you have no doubt frequently observed, the impression usually goes through -- a fact which has dissolved many a happy marriage.

You never suffer nearly as much as you imagine you suffer. You never suffer the illnesses you most dread nor the miseries that you fear.

I love you. I hate you. I like you. I hate you. I love you. I think you__e stupid. I think you__e a loser. I think you__e wonderful. I want to be with you. I don__ want to be with you. I would never date you. I hate you. I love you_..I think the madness started the moment we met and you shook my hand. Did you have a disease or something?

He remembers which sisterI like least and askshow she is doing.(lines 9-11 of the poem 'Divorce')

Whenever there is a break up, it's usually not the fault of just one party. Both are usually at fault

Your past does not have to dictate your future. You have the God-given power to make your life better and to heal from divorce.

You must be wondering how anyone could choose the left path and sacrifice their children. But it's not that simple, my dear, because when you decide to take the second path you never allow yourself to see reality as it is, without excuses. You tell yourself that if you don't pursue your own happiness, they'll suffer too; that you have a right to be happy and you only get one life; that it'll be better for them, they're young, they'll get over it. But the truth is, you make a choice and there is always a price to pay.

Virtually every church tradition, by theology, interpretive strategies, or pastoral practice, makes accommodations for divorced people who seek to remarry. These accommodations permit divorced people to enter unions that are outside the rule laid down in the Bible. But we can't have it both ways. We can't apply a strict "biblical marriage" rule to gay people and not apply it to those who are divorced and remarried.
