Divorce

‘As a Catholic I am taught that we do not resort to divorce as a way to solve our problems. Well if both parties are Catholics lived life as a Catholi i.e. no adultery love each other and etc then there shouldn’t be any problem at all.

Or if at least one of them is a Christian turned to God in her times of trouble surrender her problems to Him then with faith I am sure the couple can tide through. For marriage is sacred. God has put man and woman together and no one is to bring them apart. So says the Bible. It even went on to say that when they get married they leave their parents and become one. Catholic weddings are such beautiful and meaningful rite. The lighting of the candles by the parents then put out and then the couple light the matrimony candle makes the whole thing very clear how important marriage is. I had only attended one single Catholic wedding but that was enough to seal my belief. I pray that one day in the not so far future when my hubby has turned to Christ and baptised as a Catholic we will get to go through that ceremony. (well even if am 80 years old by then LOL)

But I am ready to put aside all my Catholic beliefs and tell another person to go get herself a divorce to severe ties. The mom of this girl came to me for advice. This girl was married when she was 17 years old and now have two kids. She is barely 20-21 years old now I think. The husband is a thief having stole from his father-in-law. He doesn’t work. He has another girl. He never took care of the children. He has no inclination to seek a divorce simply because he couldn’t afford a lawyer.

So the mom of this girl wants to know what to do now. I got them the contact of a lawyer friend told her to give custody of the children to him. (because his mom wanted to fight over the children and this girl is planning to work in overseas soon) However make sure she has access to the children. Well what else can I do? I could pray that Christ will have mercy on all the unbelievers bring them to His light shelters them from life tribulations and well Thy will be done. As a mom I know I would have fought for my kids to remain with me. But she is planning to flying all the way across the globe leaving her kids what else is there to to?

What I can advise is - Girls never ever compromise your future for a few minutes of lust or love if you think it is. Don’t get into pre-marital sex if you do not know the consequences. You may screwed up your whole life the lives of your children and the happiness of your parents. It is not worth it.
