Let's face it.... just over 40% of marriages end in divorce, and in the church the rate is not much lower.
As some people might know, I am currently going through my second divorce. I recently began attending a class called "DivorceCare." My children are going to "DivorceCare4Kids." I have only been to one class so far, but I can honestly say that I was surprised about the class makeup.
There are people there who are attending for their second time, because they didn't think they needed it very much the first time and now they realize how much it helps and how much they can get out of it. There are men there. In fact, about half the class is men. This surprised me because normally you don't think of men going to self-help classes, where people talk about emotions and stuff. Some people in the class are in the process of getting a divorce, and others have been divorced 6+ years. Some people in the class were married only a few years, while others were married 30+ years. The point is that this class is something that anyone who is divorced can attend, no matter at what stage they are, what their gender, what their age, and what their situation.
I wanted to share a link about DivorceCare here for anyone who might be going through a divorce, or thinking of going through a divorce, or even has been divorced in the past. You can go to this link and find a church in your area that offers this. It is a Christian based program, so everything in it is biblically based with knowledge and advice from experts. I have only been to one class, but I honestly would recommend it even for those who may not think that they need it.
