This is my story. It’s a story that I never imagined I would be telling. When I got married at 18 years old, divorce was not in my vocabulary. I wasn’t a Christian at the time, but I came from a family where divorce wasn’t an option, and marriage was forever. When I vowed to love my husband forever, for better or for worse, I had no clue what I was agreeing to, but I knew that no matter how bad things got, I would never give up.
What I didn’t consider when I got married, was that my future husband came from a family of multiple divorces and remarriages. It was normal for him, and even though he meant it at the time, a commitment that was “as long as we both shall live”, was really a commitment for “as long as I am happy with you”.
This is the story of our marriage, divorce, and remarriage.
