Many of the couples I know have been announcing a divorce and it has been weighing heavy on my heart lately. I hear them say things like: "It's for the best" "It's been a long time coming" "We're better off" "What a relief" and other things along the same lines. It breaks my heart because these people must not realize that marriage is not just about them. There are so many people affected in a positive or negative way by marriage and divorce. Most of these people have children, and I can only imagine how difficult it must be for the entire family. I am not being judgemental in any fashion because I don't know the stories, struggles, or details of the relationship or divorce, but I do know that Satan is attacking the sacred covenant of marriage. In turn, he is wreaking havoc, and causing pain and destruction. It is clearly evident and breaks my heart! So, offer a word of encouragement and then get on your knees and pray for your pastors, parents, children, friends and neighbors. Interced on their behalf and pray for restoration and healing in their marriages.
