Before you divorce

Marriage is a high-risk life investment. It involves making a critical decision that impacts your life and that of your children up to the fourth generation. Yet this decision is made without consideration beyond the affairs of the heart and lust. In one moment, you decide who will wake up next to you every day. You sack your parents as guardians and adopt an alien. You recruit a security guard to watch over you day and night. You take out a life insurance for your emotions. You recruit a home-school teacher for your children. You choose a home affairs correspondent, moral compass guide and spiritual leader. A financial and asset manager, and career adviser for you and your children. Your doctor, psychologist and a lifetime chef and much more. And we simply call it falling in love. It is what it says on the tin. You can understand why divorce is never easy. By divorcing that person, you lose more than one support worker. Try making love to them through these pages.
