This week we addressed the hard topic of divorce. Many if
not all Americans have seen how difficult divorce can be on families and
individuals. So how do we try to avoid such things in our own lives? We talked
a lot about how negative patterns can develop in relationships. These patterns
don’t lead to finding “who is at fault” rather they show that many problems in
family life occur from habits or acting on natural instincts that in effect
hurt someone else without us even realizing it. Patterns can unfortunately
follow an individual from one marriage into another. One way to prevent divorce
or another divorce is recognizing these patterns, accepting it is pointless to
put the blame on someone, and working out how to break that pattern.
I believe one way that helps our children avoid the pains of
divorce is showing them the joys of a happy marriage. Because there are so many
examples, even in the media, of unhealthy relationships it’s our responsibility
to help build their trust that they can find someone who will love them
unconditionally. Elaine S. Dalton a leader of young women in The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints once said that the best thing you could do
for your daughter (talking to fathers) is love her mother. I love this video
that was made regarding her words of wisdom… https://www.mormonchannel.org/watch/series/mormon-messages/love-her-mother-1
