Surviving Divorce

Divorce Sucks.. Sucks.. Sucks…. Divorce is not a favorite topic for me, it is an ugly word and a word we never talked about in my parents house when I was a kid. I never even knew anyone personally before I got married that went through a divorce. Now I know many people with divorces or as we say on the golf course “D’s” and it keeps growing by the day. I will go on record I am against Divorce unless it is a safety issue for them or their kids. Most Divorces seem to happen over one spouse cheating or money issues.

Some more things to think about is from an article in Time Magazine. It had some stats like: Average first marriage 8 years Average second marriage is 6 years. I have heard that divorce rate is higher on 2nd marriages and even higher on 3rd marriages. Overall showed kids are more likely to be harmed by their parents getting divorced Average total household wealth of those ages 51 to 61 for married couples as $132,200. Those Divorced was $33,700 and Widowed was $42,300. It is cheaper to live in one household than two for sure. Judith Wallersteom on a book she wrote a book called “The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce” Said “Children from broken families tend to marry later, yet divorce more often than those from intact homes.
