Marriage Or Divorce

DearJames,

Should I consider divorce?

Colleen

Dear Marriage Or Divorce,

It’s a long road to recovery regardless of whether you choose marriage or divorce. How could it not be after all that you’ve endured? However, choose you must.

You must choose whether to stay by your mate’s side while all that ails him tears (you) apart. You must choose whether (you) have the fortitude to go the distance, run the marathon or simply a sprint. You must choose whether your love for each other can bear the brunt of this hurricane and yet still somehow find your way to the other side, unbroken.

You Must Choose.

When choosing, look closely within yourself to discern what it was you sought to learn from this union and its experiences. Should you find yourself simply running from the truth, understand that a divorce would simply serve as an abdication of the sacred soul contract you made with yourself.

On the other hand, should you discern that you and you alone have gained all that can rightly be experienced by this union, judge not the decision to exercise your freedom by opting for divorce.

The definition of suffering is attachment. Are you holding on when you should be letting go? Or are you simply holding onto a story of experiences that are preventing you from advancing right where you are?

Often the most ardent challenges bear the greatest triumphs. Allow yourself to make wise and informed decisions knowing there is never a right or wrong answer per se. Each choice simply leads you to yet another set of life experiences, each unfolding in the present moment of existence.

Ultimately, your soul knows what is in your highest and best, listen to it and choose accordingly.

The simple truth will always be: Everywhere You Go, There You Are. Commit to being brutally honest with yourself every step of the journey.
