What should a couple consider before divorce? When considering divorce, try marriage counseling and consider your kids and feelings of loss if you decide to divorce. I think people can divorce too easily...
I think people can divorce too easily now. They think it's an easy way out, but once they get there, they realize the divorce takes longer than expected, and they may even have feelings of loss. Be careful what you wish for. He may not be snoring anymore and his shorts may not be left on the floor, but you may kind of miss that.
One of the questions that I have couples ask themselves is if they have done everything in their power to try to make the marriage work. If you have, then walk over to your attorney's office and get the papers done. If there are kids involved, I especially think parents owe it to them to really try everything in their power to make it work even if that means therapy or reading books. Go on date nights, talk to each other, or take a vacation with just the two of you. For one year, be the best spouse you can be, and then reevaluate things. Make it a clear decision rather than an emotional decision. Emotional decisions are often not well thought out.
