DIVORCE IS AN AMPUTATION, FIX YOUR MARRIAGE-CHIAMAKA MAKAS OKORO ON DIVORCE.
Barr.Chiamaka Makas Okoro shared an insightful thought about divorce on her Facebook page. She advised couples to try and fix their marital problems than rushing to court to end their marriage.
Read her post below.
"I was in court and a couple came for dissolution of their marriage (divorce) and the judge said "from your pleading the only thing I can decipher is ego problem (the couple are professionals and doing very well too) so I must do my best to see that you two reconcile infact the next sitting will be in my chambers then i'll just put on a T-shirt and possibly Jean so we all can talk and have your issue resolved, but after I try and it doesn't work then I may be inc...lined to accede to your petition" I was amazed at the Judge's ruling and determination to have them fix their marriage.
With the trend of divorce now, people think is just easy to rush to court and have your marriage dissolved, no it doesn't work that way. The law is more interested in maintaining the sanctity of marriage and seeks to buttress it's stability than undermining it.
This is why you can't ask for divorce within two years of marriage except in exceptional circumstances and with the leave(permission) of court(which convincing the court is not easy). This is also why the ground for divorce is that marriage has "broken down irretrievably"( the law goes further to buttress this point) that is there's no hope again for that marriage to survive.
We have to be careful with the choices we make in the area of marriage because while there's room for divorce is also not easy gaining same I don't even want to delve into the demerits, I had written a little on it sometime.
Certain marital conflicts can actually be reconciled if the parties involved can come down to have it fixed. Running from our problems doesn't solve it, it will still stare us in the face if not today then another day. Be more concerned with fixing than breaking.
Don't let unnecessary ego and selfish reasons deprive you of your home and your peace or cause your kids to have a broken home.
Divorce is like an amputation, it brings about a permanent disability, do your best to avert and avoid it especially by the choices and the decisions you make.
