Just do the best you can. With God in charge what can go wrong ? Nothing Amen. God is Great ? All the Time Amen. My fabulous book is Mathew for wisdom and Love the Book of Luke leading up to Easter. Who put Jesus on the Cross ?............. We did. Use for we all have sinned. SIN Bad thoughts gossip wrong doings etc including murder and who saved us from this ? Jesus Christ our Lord My Heavenly Brother and God my Heavenly Father. Amen Ask for repentance like the woman who was about to be stoned and Jesus asked the crowed let him or her that is free of sin cast the first stone. One by one the crowed dispersed and it was a huge crowed for she had committed adultery. When the crowd had gone Jesus asked her who is left to punish you ? The woman fell at Jesus feet and said not one but you Lord and she cried over Jesus feet and dried them with her hair. Jesus said go you are free and sin no more Amen. So can we also use God in our relationships with fellow people for did not the same God that made you made them to ? Amen.

This statement really struck me and has caused me much thought! "Many of you are innocent victims whose spouses persistently betrayed sacred covenants or abandoned or refused to perform marriage responsibilities for an extended period. Those who have experienced such abuse have first hand knowledge of circumstances worse than divorce. When a marriage is dead and beyond hope of resuscitation it is needful to have a means to end it."

Yes but do remember, this is rare. Much of the time people become selfish first and go to divorce before trying now a days. You still have to try, that means if you ever get to a point you ask for assistance, guidance, invite to do things, etc. If someone betrays covenants or refuses to perform marriage responsibilities. It is also the others responsibility in a marriage to open a discussion about it, invite them to seek help together and so forth. If you do not do that, you yourself are also betraying responsibilities and covenants, and that needs to be understood. Too many people are selfish now a days (not you) but in general.

My parents divorced shortly before my baptism. My prayers are with those children who are in similar situations for whatever reason. For me forgiving my parents created a level of peace that I can't describe. No matter what happened remember that Christ practiced forgiveness even at the point of death. Loving kindness can heal even the most painful emotional injuries.

I love Elder Oaks' talks. He changes my heart and mind every time he speaks. I feel a greater compassion and understanding for my parents after he mentioned that sometimes a marriage is truly broken and requires an end. My parents divorced after fourteen years of trying to make it work. One was active in church, one was not; and they could not agree on anything at all. I wished they could have worked it out, but they were not happy together, and their fourteen year marriage came to an end. Years later, I learned that there is more to Eternal families than a one sided, flat promise of always being together forever. Agency and choice plays a role, and the Lord won't force two people to stay together. An Eternal family, I learned, is something I would have to pursue for myself if I wanted it. I feel a great and growing love and appreciation for my parents. Yes, there are many hurts I had to set aside because of their divorce, and have many questions that I feel won't answered in this life. But it is a balm to me to hear the General Authorities speak with compassion for divorced families, and encouragement for struggling families.

I know what it feels like to suffer the pains of divorce. I have never suffered anything more painful and devastating then the loss of my wife. Most will not understand, but I loved my wife and still to this day mourn over her loss, much like a death. In spite of my love for her, her agency is something I had no control over. I never imagined that my heart could've been injured so deeply by someone I loved so much! I pray that God will have mercy on me, and bless me with His healing power!

My wife and I are in the process of getting a divorce. This is the last thing I want for now, but it seems that she is really going for it. She hates the life of not being able to go out with friends to drink a little wine or spend time with her so called friends and stay late at night. We have 3 children ages 12-20. The most I'm worried about is my 12 year old girl. I don't know how she's taking it, but I'm trying to make it as gentle & easy for her. This is a mountain that I have to climb.

Hang in there. Divorce is never easy. I grew up in an LDS home with a father who was chronically adulterous, but my extended family and ward were always there to support my brother, my mother and me. For me, that was the most important thing I needed at that time, and maybe that's just what your child needs. I know it's hard, but with the Lord on your side, it will get easier.

My parents are divorced. They have been since I was 3. But, I have now seen that it was the right choice. My mother prayed with much intent, and felt that divorce was the right thing to do. My father fell away from the gospel, and has drug down many with him. If my parents were to stay together, then I would not have known and had such a strong testimony of this gospel as I do now. Divorce is a hard thing, and in some cases it is not right. But for my family it was.

Marriage doesn't sound an easy thing when there's selfishness, sin (adultery/fornication/alcohol etc..) are involved. Praying for those that go through this difficult times on their relationship.

There is nothing more painful in the world (in my opinion) then having your spouse leave you. Nothing. My spouse is my best friend in the world. She left me over a huge misunderstanding that has caused intense amounts of pain for her, myself and our children. I love her more than anything but at this point it's in Heavenly Father's hands. You can't force someone to be with you. You can only pray for a change of heart or in some cases a miracle. I feel for those going through similar situations.

We honestly dont have any grounds for a divorce. One of our biggest problems is that her mother is over involved and instead of being supportive and trying to help us.... she is trying to save her from a man who would sacrifice anything for her. Never any abuse, addiction or adultery. Pray for us

Mental illness can be another significant factor in divorce. Some, who are diagnosed with mental illness, refuse to receive treatment. Untreated mental illness can become dangerous in some instances, to the person afflicted with the condition and to those around that person. Divorce in such cases may not be based on spite or lack of devotion, but for literal self preservation. Heartbreaking but sometimes it happens.

A hole was formed on our living room sofa's back support. He refused to change. We footed the bill for marriage counseling., to no avail. My daughter had no other options.

I wouldn't divorce happens because of young college age kids get married. I am a young college age kid and am getting married shortly. I don't believe that it has to do with age at all.

If both are selfless in this sacred relationship, there are higher odds of things working out.

I've never been married before but I was engaged before. When she ended things, I entered a low point in my life. I did everything I could to make it last. But she has agency and that's out of my control. It was a rough time. Moving across the country to be closer to her. I had no family and barely knew anyone here in Utah. Luckily I recovered and bounced back pretty quick. Relationships, engagements, and marriages require work. 2 people should be committed amd try to work things out. But I've learned to accept God's will and timing. I've learned that everything will work itself out in the end.

After many years of trying to get him to come to counseling he agreed to several months ago and things have improved. However hard as I try and feel that I have forgiven him I do not seem to be able to resurrect the love I once had for him and wonder if because of the years of emotional abuse my marriage is "dead & beyond hope".

To this day, never apologized and feels no remorse. In situations like this, the partner accused falsely, has no other option, but to move on and be single again. It is evil, but when a spouse refuses to see their error, the spirit can no longer be in the home or marriage!

The remedy is compassion & understanding. Repentance may be a key, but it doesn't work if one is continuously thinking "it's my spouse who needs to repent". "My spouse doesn't go to church or studies enough" etc. People need to try and understand and have compassion for eachother, there would be a whole lot of problems solved if people would try to figure out the root of the problem and build an answere based on listening, compassion, understanding, etc. instead of " 'I' go through so much"

@Felipecabesas, I have been happily married for almost 5 years. Married life is wonderful! It is nice to come home to the arms of those you love, and who love you. Marriage provides a way for those involved to find ways to serve one another; to support one another in trials and troubles. Marriage provides security. If I were asked, "If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?" I would go home. Don't get a prenup Have faith that you will have a successful marriage, and then work.

I agree with what was said here. If it is possible, try your very best to work things out.

Marriage can be difficult so can working 40 hours per week and overcoming life's little foibles. What is done when things get hard, most of the time we jump ship it shows how thin we really are when the easiest way out is the option taken. Marriage is work 24/7 pure and simple where is the love where is the fight when things go wrong in a marriage? As a culture we are week and need to grow up and face the responsibilities when the ship is left the innocent are always left behind at their peril

(2)Remember that there are still thousands of women out there who would love to be a wife and step-mom to your kids. Try to explain what is going on t your kids, don't assume that they know about the divorce simply because they saw their Mom move out-sit down and talk openly about it and tell them that if they are ever feeling down/ confused they can come& you will stop what you are doing to hear them. That is some advice that saved my brother when he went through the same situation w/ his wife

I've been thinking about getting divorce, I love my husband but it's hard to handle his lack of faith in Heavenly Father, we don't have kids and If I ever have, I don't want my kids to be in that sittuation, its hard to go to church and pray alone, our marriage in the temple means nothing to him its painful, he is a good husband but I dont know if I want to live my life with this pain and uncertainty also is lack of faith is dragging me down.Im afraid to commit a mistake and afraid to live this

Doc, it's been a year since your comment reading, "Why is it that MEN are shown as the perpetrators and women as their victims. ..." In that year, I hope your life is progressing well; while I do not know you beyond your posting, I sincerely want the best for you and your life. Regards.

to Sam: Marriage at a young age is only one risk factor. I took a class on Divorce and Remarriage when I was in college. This is good information: divorce.usu.edu/files/uploads/Lesson3.pdf

My sister is going through this exact situation right now with kids who are at such a young age. As I see these three little girls being raised up without a father figure (because he would rather be out drinking and doing what he wants), what would you recommend for me as an uncle to help my sister and her daughters?

The institution of marriage will continue to be attacked even more fiercely as time goes on. It is up to Latter-day Saints to defend it, live it, and show the world what marriage can and should be like. If only much of the world realized that a successful marriage is based on a couples' commitment to Christ, not only to each other.
