How to Turn a Bad Marriage into a Good Divorce

Here’s a staggering statistic. One out of every two couples in America, who get married, will divorce. That’s only 50%. Seriously, America as a whole should just legalize it for gays and give them a shot at it; maybe they can do it better! They certainly can’t do any worse.

A Bad Marriage

With only a 50% shot at getting it right, one very nearly has to ponder… Why bother getting married if it’s just going to end up in the toilet? And a costly toilet at that. But people keep falling in love and assuming that that’s the next step… Let’s get married and have kids. Bringing kids into the situation is an even scarier endeavor. If you think that the adult parties suffer in a bad marriage, take a look at their dysfunctional children! Oy! But what’s worse: staying in a bad marriage and submitting your kids to constant tension and bitter discourse; or, splitting up and saddling them with the inevitable tag ‘children of a broken home’? If it were me, my kids would actually have an option. You can be the child of a divorce, or mommy can go to prison for the rest of her life for murdering daddy. You choose. What? I’m just sayin’.

A Good Divorce

A good divorce is where everybody wins and an Arlington divorce lawyer can help work towards that goal. Unfortunately, that never happens. But there is still such a thing as a good divorce. Any situation that is unhealthy such as verbal or physical abuse, sexual abuse of any family member and of course cheating on your mate are all perfectly good reasons to dump your other half and become whole. I’m not condoning divorce. Far from it. Back in the day, couples actually worked on their marriage if need be because divorce was something you simply didn’t do.

Maybe it’s time to get back to the basics of marriage.
