Divorce & Remarriage

While some may only see divorce and remarriage as a sign of failure, others may view it in a more positive light. Not all divorce/remarriage stories are bad nor are they all good. I have a few examples of this situation that have impacted my life for eternity.
My mom married young and with that, brought my two oldest brothers into the world. This was such a blessing in her life because she loved and cared for those little boys with every ounce of her being. Although she felt her life was perfect, her marriage took a turn for the worse. After a separation and then a divorce, she did everything she could to take care of her sons. As time continued, not long after, she met a guy through mutual friends. She was set up on a blind date, but little did she know, this guy would be a keeper. This guy is my dad. My mom and dad got married in the spring of 1990. My brothers were only 3 and 2. My dad became their dad. There was no question about it and there is still no question about it. We are sealed together as a family and that is all that matters.
I also have two brothers that have been divorced within the last two years. One of them just got remarried last month and is happier than ever. The other is getting married this month to a woman who has two little boys. He has now taken on that father role, just as our dad did.
Most people don't look at divorce and remarriage as a good thing. I understand that it isn't always a good thing, but I like to view the blessings that can come from it depending on the situation. Divorce and remarriage can be a blessing if the relationship was unhealthy for the spouse or the children.
