A Model of Commitment

Emphasis On Moms
Our children carry fears with them daily. Some we know about, some are reserved for deep spaces inside their hearts. It’s our job as parents to make them feel secure and stable in a world that is anything but.
Divorce is so common these days that is shakes up even the strongest of homes. Little children are becoming too familiar with the word. We, or someone we know, have been affected by it. I know as a wife, I want to ensure that I do everything that I can to keep my marriage on solid ground. If WE experience fears sometimes, can you imagine what our children go through?
There are some great ways to make everyone in a family unit secure. Between you and your husband, you can talk about your marriage and how there is no “out” of the relationship. That creates security between the two of you so you won’t worry. Make promises of fidelity to each other. Also, talk to your children; especially if they have been witness to an argument or disagreement between you and your husband. Let them know that divorce isn’t an option in your family and that it’s normal to have different opinions. It’s kind of like saying “I love you.” You may assume they know your marriage is OK, but it sure feels better on their part to hear it!
We need to be committed to our marriages. Everyone will benefit in the long run if you and your husband model that commitment to each other, your children, and even extended family members. We can be the ones that start to make divorce the exception, and not the norm in our lives.
