I found this article fascinating, and perhaps one of the more realistic and non-political views on the topic of divorce:

Funny, I was listening to a talk radio show a few days ago that said exactly the opposite.

I guess anyone can find statistics to support his or her position if she looks hard enough (and we, the readers, don't know what to believe.

I liked this part:

Far better to understand the dynamics that sustain and threaten families. Far better, she writes, to accept that "divorce is a reasonable solution to an unhappy, acrimonious, destructive marital relationship." Instead of a narrow focus on the hazards, why not acknowledge that it can be an opportunity to build a better life?


I think it's important for those involved in a divorce to know that it is possible to pick up the pieces and move on to a better life.
