This show addresses the topic of divorce. If you’re not quite sure yet, or if you’re in the middle of it, or if it's years if not decades behind you, there’s always an invitation to heal.
As of 2024, divorce statistics in the United States reveal some sobering insights:
- Approximately 41% of first marriages end in divorce.
- About 60% of second marriages conclude in divorce.
- Third marriages have a divorce rate of approximately 73%.
- The average duration of a first marriage before divorce is around eight years.
- Second marriages tend to last slightly longer, averaging about 11 years before divorce.
Primary Causes of Divorce:
- Basic incompatibility is cited as the leading cause which indicates that both parties probably had wounds and traumas that they were not aware of that were wrecking their relationship. This reason accounted for 43% of divorces.
- Infidelity follows at 28%.
- Financial issues contribute to 22% of divorces.
No matter what the story is around a divorce, everyone involved has an opportunity to heal. Society often encourages us to take sides, hold onto resentments, feel victimized while broken. It can be extremely vulnerable. It’s so important, when you are ready (and as soon as possible) to revisit the story. Take responsibility for how you got there, and then let go of everything that you don’t want to carry forward.
Where ever you are in your post divorce era... let me just say this:
- Let go of any resentments.
- Let go of anger and bitterness.
- Learn to forgive.
- Take responsibility for where you are and how you got here.
- Push your ego aside and quit being right.
- Please don’t stay stuck in victim.
- Examine what beliefs lie underneath your divorce and transform them into something positive. Because you can.
