Mormons and Divorce – Part Three: When Sin is Not Involved

We spoke last time about reasons for divorce that involve sin on the part of either the husband or wife. Today I’d like to discuss marriages that fail not because of sin, but for other reasons. Most of the time, when a marriage fails and sin is not an issue, the couple cites “irreconcilable differences” on the divorce decree. This covers a broad spectrum of issues including money problems, sexual problems, no longer wanting to be married, and no longer seeing eye-to-eye on important issues. The good news is, most of these problems can be fixed, if both partners in … Continue reading →

Do You Regret Your Divorce?

Posted on by

Recently I was driving down the road and took notice to a new duet song by Reba McIntire that referred to taking her children to meet her ex-husband every other weekend. Many couples likely follow this same routine. They pack up the children and head off to meet their ex-spouse for the every other weekend visit. However the story line of this song may be what sets it apart from the typical divorced couple. The two ex-mates that are meeting up to exchange the children are doubting the divorce. They long for one another and the meetings are awkward. This … Continue reading →

Those Three Little Words (that May Ruin Your Marriage)

Usually when we here someone mention “those three little words” we think of the words “I love you.” It is of course a beautiful sentiment that most people like to hear it often.

How to Not Fight

Who likes to fight? None of us. In fact, for all that I enjoy a good debate or a healthy exchange of differing opinions – I don’t like to fight. I really don’t like to fight with my husband. The majority of fights we have had – at least in my opinion – are largely due to a failure to communicate. Either one of us misunderstands or miscommunicates something and the other reacts and wee – we’re off to the races. A miscommunication can be as simple as indicating that you want to improve your job options. Maybe you want … Continue reading →

Our Not So Irreconcilable Differences

Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our tenth anniversary. Over dinner he asked if it’s been everything I hoped it would be. My honest answer was, “Yes, and it gets better every year.” Trust me, we’ve had our differences, but my husband and I decided before we got married that divorce was not an option. When we made our vows to each other and to God, we entered into a covenant. No amount of “Irreconcilable differences” would tear us apart. As it turns out, most of our differences weren’t irreconcilable. When you are committed to somebody, you do whatever it … Continue reading →

Kim and Kris Marry…No Wait, Divorce

I didn’t blog about the Kim Kardashian/Kris Humphries wedding because frankly, I don’t really care for people who became famous for no reason at all. Now some of her fans might say “But Libby, she is a successful reality star and business woman. Uh, no. Do something that shows some remote talent, then I will consider you famous. So, I refused to blog about the wedding, yet now I feel compelled by my love for Hollywood scandal to let you know I will blog about the divorce. Yes, that is right, I said “divorce.” After a brief 72 days (is … Continue reading →

Yes, It’s More Celebrity Divorces

Another week, another slew of celebrity divorces. Okay, maybe not a slew, but two more celebrity couples are hitting the divorce court. I was surprised when Eva Longoria and Tony Parker announced they were separating. Have we ever seen a picture of these two where they weren’t smiling and looking all in love? Despite the photos of happiness, Longoria files for divorce last week from Parker, citing irreconcilable differences. Longoria is seeking spousal support. Wait, isn’t she like a television star? Oh, maybe she is seeking support because it appears that Parker was cheating on her. Longoria told her old … Continue reading →
