A Healthy Split Marriage is almost always entered into with the idea of happily ever after, and divorce is rarely the goal, which can lead many divorcees to wonder what they did wrong. At Douglass & Runger, while we always encourage potential clients to attempt to work out the issues in their marriage and stay together, sometimes marriages are broken beyond repair. We don’t believe divorce is a failure. In fact, we believe divorce can actually be a healthy decision entered into by two people who are ready to move on and do what’s best for their families. If you’re contemplating divorce or battling feelings of guilt, consider these three positive effects of divorce. Setting an Example Co-parenting is a much healthier display of a relationship than staying in a bad marriage. You will not fail your children by opting for a divorce. Children feed off the examples you set for them. Some experts even believe that children whose parents divorce while they are young cope with this major life change better than adult children. Divorce can help teach your children lessons about finding a strong partner, building confidence, and seeking future healthy relationships.

WHY DIVORCE COULD BE THE BEST DECISION YOU MAKE
Finding Growth You may be nervous about living on your own or worry about sadness around the holidays, but you should consider your level of happiness in your marriage. You can still feel lonely, stifled, and lost when you’re with the wrong partner. Divorce offers a new chapter. It’s a chance to learn something new, find peace by yourself, and grow into a person you love. Getting a divorce gives you new opportunities that your current or past relationship may be stifling. Fostering Better Relationships This benefit is twofold. First, divorce offers you another chance at finding a partner who better suits you. Dating after divorce isn’t easy, but it can be an opportunity for new happiness in a relationship if that’s what you want. Secondly, divorce could be what finally ends bad communication between you and your ex. Without the pressure of marriage, honest, real, and succinct conversations can help you and your ex communicate more effectively when necessary.
For as many good reasons as there are to divorce, we know it’s never an easy decision. If you’d like to inquire about your divorce process, or if you need help with other legal matters, please visit our website at DouglassRunger.com to learn more. We’re here to guide you through whatever life tosses your way.
