Echoes of Divorce
There's a growing trend of long-time married couples divorcing and the echoes of divorce make adult children question their own relationships. David said, "If their marriage turned out not to be strong, maybe mine's not either." The loss of confidence is understandable. Questioning one thing makes you question a lot of things, but you can silence the echoes by renewing your trust in God and each other. Talk. Connect with your spouse and stay committed. Their life does not have to become yours.
