Recently I've been wanting to discuss divorce. It might seem taboo to even think about that word, but it doesn't scare me - it's been part of my vocabulary for nearly 20 years now. My parents divorced when I was 8 years old, and their estrangement has undoubtedly (and to their credit, unintentionally) caused cynicism in my relationships. As I embark on a marriage of my own, I can't help but consider all possible outcomes, and similarly, explore the causes of unsuccessful unions.
In this podcast, I talk with two friends, one married and one divorced. We hear about all the red flags that accumulated and eventually caused the destruction of a young marriage. We also discuss the link between happily coupled parents and the resulting relationships of their children.
Is it wrong for couples to talk about divorce? How far does "for better or worse" truly have to extend? What are your thoughts?
