Here is a really interesting article on divorce. It takes the point of view of the kids who are affected by it. It is NOT from a Christian or even conservative perpective which makes it even more interesting. Here are a couple of observations I made.
- Throughout the article, divorce is treated as a negative.
- Kids work to "overcome" divorce and express an ideal of intact, non-divorce, marriage.
- Putting lie to the claim that kids "get over" divorce, it reveals that children are divorce are much more likely to divorce.
I find this whole article very interesting. It gives a view of marriage and divorce that sounds rather familiar. Oh, that's right, it was in my Bible. :)
