How many divorces are there in your family & in your partners family? Has it affected your wanting to marry?

Question

Curious. A friend who doesn't want to get married doesn' have a single family member that hasn't gotten divoreced.

Answer 1

My Mom and Dad have both been divorced from previous partners, my sister, my cousins (3) and me (2x). A good question Hon. Never really thought about it! But they do say that if you divorce once, the chances are you will do it again. Don't know, but I sure as H E L L will think twice before I do it again! (LOL)

Answer 2

There are many divorces in my family...large family...and multiple divorces in the same family...and remarrying others taht have been married prior...and then divorced again...and the exs remarry and divorce again...one bro is divorced 6 times maybe 7...lost count...me, married twice, first annulment after 90 days cuz of green card snatcher...but the second divorce was a killer. Her parents and my parents are still both married.

I will not shy away from the right women in the future. Each relationship is unique unto itself. There are no guarantees. Does the divorces in a family have an impact on future marriages within that family....I would have to say a definate Yes...is it a negative impact....I am not certain. IF the fear of pain and suffering gets pulled into the beginning of a marriage...it could be the seed that sprouts unexpectedly someday.

I am almost thinking that one must not look at a mate with the eyes of how well this person will treat you in a marriage rather how well or bad do you think thei person will treat you in a divorce - figuring that answer may just be the perspective to knwowng how well you would be treated in a marriage.

Answer 3

there isn't a lot divorces in my family but i surely have seen many ugly and horrible marriages: including my parents! I understand christian people don't believe in divorce and i understand the value of vows and families, but I also understand deeper how a bad marriage can damage your soul!!! though I am married, due to what I have seen, I am still scared, insecure and would never marry if it weren't my husband. if I ever divorce, I will never marry again! It totally affect my views of marriage and family! I feel for your friend and she should wait till she's absolutely sure!

Answer 4

My parents divorced , I am divorced, my aunt and uncle, my brother and my niece.
The man that i live with was divorced twice. We have been together 7 years and do not plan to re-marry. The reason for this is that I was married 17 years, teh x is a union electrician and makes good money, if i re-marry I am not entitled to any of his social security, It may sound selfish to some, but I am looking out for my financial well being in later years.

Answer 5

my mom has 5 siblings.. no one is divorced. my father has 5 siblings...no one is divorced. My mom and dad are not divorced. I have two siblings...no one is divorced I am not divorced. I have two children, they are not divorced. None of us have ever shacked up together or had a child out of wedlock or married anyone who had married before or had children out of wedlock. None of us are over religious.

I can see if you come from a family that has a history of divorce you would have a whole different set of values, and ideas of what a father or mother is.

Answer 6

For generations none of my family members got divorced, but it doesn't mean they were/are all happy about their marriages

Answer 7

100% success rate for my family, there are only 5 that I can think of though, closing in on a 6th for my brother I think. success rate being no divorces.

Answer 8

I truthfully have grown up all my existence thinking i'm hated via God. i won't think of of any logical clarification why i'm hated, provided that he got here to forgive me of my sins and fix me. whether I truthfully have had circumstances like parental rejection whilst i grew to become into 12. Im 40 two now and nonetheless warfare to settle for myself. From that foundation of rejection has come a devastated self well worth. And from journey what comes out of a loss of self well worth is movements and options that are "comparable-style" with somebody that has a lacl of self well worth. those that sense they are interior the gutter will do gutter issues, and whilst they do them they sense even worse. Its a vicious damaging circle. yet God got here to forgive, to set us freed from the SIN AND GUILT that so definitely traps us and condemns us. You (WE) would desire to start believing God whilst he mentioned he forgives and have self belief him whilst he says he loves YOU in my view. Then and in trouble-free terms then do we've the flexibility we would desire to beat damaging self defeating types. Jesus whilst he forgave the female in adultery mentioned something in the previous announcing flow Sin not greater. He informed the female, Neither do i condemn you (forgiveness) NOW (next) flow and Sin not greater. who're we or all people that condemns us to think of we are in a position to wreck an habit to thrill God if we havent FIRST permit his Love and Forgiveness soak us from head to toe.
