This week the one thing that really caught my attention was the discussion about children of divorced parents and their chance of divorce in their own marriages. I have a friend who is really close to me, whose parents went through a divorce when he was younger. He is also a convert to the church. We talked all about it after class, I asked him his views on marriage and such. He told me that before he joined the church he did not think he'd ever get married. He said he thought that all marriages just ended in divorce and unhappiness. Once he joined the church and learned more about how the lord views marriage his opinions changed. I asked him how confident he felt his marriage would succeed. Although it was significantly higher now that he's a member, it was still quite a bit lower than mine. (I have never been faced with any kind of divorce in my life) It was so interesting to take something I learned in class and talk to a friend about it. I let him know that it by NO MEANS means he will get a divorce and that everyone has the opportunity to change things their parents did for a better future for their children.
