Learning from my Mistakes

Divorce is one great big educator. At least for me that has been the case. It was really something else. After being divorced only 3 months ago I have slithered into the acceptance stage reluctantly. Yet, experience has been the greatest education anyone can recieve. The bible says in Ephesians that every man leave mother and father and cleave to his wife. Cleaving has been my problem. Ironically, I have tried to cleave too little too late. When one makes mistakes, all one can do is try to learn from them. If there is a next time for this ol guy then I will certainly cleave with all my heart. I have encouragement in that I can tell guys or girls that they can make it, despite how they feel. If I tell someone to leave, then I am only perpetuating a destructive cycle. If one knows how to put away selfishness then one can certainly save a marriage on the rocks. God loves marriage, its divorce that He hates. I too now hate divorce because I know what can happen when one goes through it. I know that with God all things are possible. Especially when you learn from your mistakes.
