Thanks Miranda. I’ve just checked the number of page hits for this post, and already on day 1 it is way ahead of any of the others, so I think you are right. It seems to have met a need for people and I guess that means I should find a way to preach on the topic in the forseeable future.

I wish this sort of thing would be included in a sermon sometime. I feel it would be helpful for those in the church who are divorced, and would help those in the congregation who aren’t to be more understanding.

I really like M. Scott Peck’s definition that “true” love is an action that one undertakes consciously in order to extend one’s ego boundaries by including others. I think this really ties up well with the 2 becoming one. Sue and i have been married 25 years, and I still think marrying her was one of the smartest moves I ever made.

Very interesting to read about the three ancient schools of thought regarding divorce.
