“‘For I hate divorce,’ says the LORD God.” Malachi 2:16
Although my parents had a difficult and challenging marriage, they never got divorced. Nobody in my family is divorced (except me). So, the day I got married I believed it was until death do us part. But it did not turn out that way and now my children are victims of divorce.
I contributed greatly to the destruction of my house because my life was not built on the Rock before I got married or during my marriage. This lesson opened my eyes to see where I went wrong in my life and also taught me the Superpower of Waiting. Waiting is not easy, but once we learn that there is purpose in waiting, the waiting process can become enjoyable with your Best Friend and Beloved Lord. And together with this amazing lesson, I can teach my children to not make the mistakes I made.

The Wise Woman in Waiting book is the book I wish I had earlier in my life, but now I can use this book to teach my daughter not to make the same mistakes I made.
If you want to teach your daughter, or any younger women, to build her life on the Rock, please read Chapter 11 "I Hate Divorce". I also found that I learned so much from these lessons, gaining more wisdom to be a Wise Woman.
Please join the conversation by sharing your testimony in the comment section below the lesson.
Thank you for sharing Adina. This ministry is where I learned the truth about marriage and divorce. I am the first member in my family to not get a divorce. This is only by His grace and following His way. My three beautiful daughters now get to live in a home with both parents. I also get to teach these principles to my daughters as we get to learn and grow together at home. It is such an honor to be able to teach them about our Beloved and help them center their lives on His Rock.
Thank you for sharing precious Adina, I too have to admit I contributed also in the destruction of my house.
I never ever thought I would say this because I hated it to wait, but yes there is really a purpose in waiting, so many testimonies in my life came in the waiting season.
Dear Adina, my parents also had a difficult marriage. My mother has always held to the principle that God hates divorce. No one could understand this. The situation in their marriage was so terrible, eventually my father died.
I am also one of the few in my entire family who is divorced. They expected it from many people but not from us. I am thankful that He is letting me go this way because I have learned how I failed as a spouse and worst of all how I failed not to have my Sweet Heavenly Husband as my first love.
Isaiah 54:6 NASB1995
For the LORD has called you, Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,” Says your God.
