When Facing a
Marital Separation
A man said to me recently: "We have a problem. My wife’s
sister told us that her husband just left her and is asking for a divorce. She is turning
to us for advice. I’m not sure what to tell her. Should she contest the divorce? How
do we help her? We have never faced this in our family before!" Many family members
can identify with this man. They want to help, but don’t know how. This week I want
to share some ideas.
Thousands of people experience martial separation every
year. Many of them sincerely want to know, "What should I do, as a Christian?"
First, let me say this, Don’t assume that separation equals divorce. Separation may
lead to a restored, enriched, growing marriage. The individuals involved will determine
the outcome of separation. Separations is not permanent. It either leads to resurrection
or death. The Christian must always look for resurrection. This week, we explore the
possibilities of seeking reconciliation.
