Chapter 6 Reflection

Isn't it great for us that Mr. Arterburn focused this chapter on accepting and embracing his divorce? What a simple, obvious concept - to fully heal from something, you have to embrace that it has happened. I don't know about you guys, but I when I was separated and eventually divorced it felt like being an athelete traded to a new team against his will. On top of that, I was traded from a team I loved to be on (Marriage) to our arch-rivals (Divorce)! It was important for me to accept fully that this "trade" happened in order to be a good player for team Divorce and be the best divorced man and ex-husband I could be. Looking forward to our discussion tonight.

  • Phil, thanks for your posting. I know what you mean. While I don't believe in divorce and I certainly don't want to be divorced, I have accepted that I am getting divorced. I have prayed for my 2bx and have forgiven him. I have accepted it and am in the process of embracing it. I know that this doesn't define who I am it is simply a part of my character, as is being a cancer survivor and a survivor of abuse. They are all part of what has made me the woman I am today. I know that the Lord is using these things to mold me and shape me into the person he wants me to become.
