Divorce Recovery from a Christian Perspective
Hello my name is Jason and as a Christian I never thought I would go through a divorce or become a divorce statistic and I for sure never thought I would be putting together a website on divorce but here it is.
Little did I know that even among born again Christians the divorce rate is almost identical to non-Christian couples. I have read reports that say the divorce rate is as high as 50% among Christians, however I have also read that it is considerably lower, closer to 35%. Which ever it is I still find it saddening that even 1 out of 3 marriages will end in divorce. But I guess knowing the odds would I of chosen differently? Probably not because it wouldn't ever happen to me! Yah, right.
For much of my adult Christian life I have desired (dreamed) to be married and to have a family. It was my daily prayer for years, so after my spouse left me I struggled with my faith in God, my faith in people, and even my faith in myself.
The hurt and anger that I encountered during the separation and divorce process opened my eyes to why God hates divorce. However, through the process I was amazed at God's loving grace and mercy towards me. He has found awesome ways to reveal to me much of what I have been lacking since I became a Christian. God definitely has taken a bad situation and brought good out of it and for that I am very thankful and that is why I built this website is to give people HOPE. Because there were time I felt it was hopeless and I did not know if I was going to be okay.
I sincerely hope that some of my experiences and stories can help ease a bit of your pain and show you that God heals wounds from separation and/or divorce.
In Christ,

This is simply my experience as a peculiar child of God. I hope you find some of my stories helpful, amusing and inspirational. "Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help. You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever." Psalm 30:10-12 |

Christian Fellowship and Support
What this means to me in times such as these is that we tend to become very self focused. Days and days would go by with the "poor me" attitude yet it was the times when I chose to focus on others that seemed to make me feel better and that is why I suggest trying it to you.
