Marriage is a difficult proposition. Some marriages end, and in that, there was a clear defining moment when it was obvious that things could never be the same. Was it a word, or a phrase? What you say can speak volumes and many times, things can never be taken back once spoken. Words such as, ” I hate you. I’m leaving. I’ve never loved you.” can be harsh. Actions can also be harsh, but if we listen carefully, we can find out the true intent and feelings or those we have pledged our life to. Sometimes it can be devastating and life changing when we finally get the message.
Key Takeaways:
- Marriages end for many reasons and that end can start with only a few simple words.
- Words that end marriages can erupt unexpectedly but reveal what spouses really feel.
- Although ending a marriage can get a spouse out of an unhappy situation, the trip through divorce can be just as painful.
