The origin of “Trick or Treat” on Halloween is an interesting one. Apparently, the Celts, in an effort to keep evil spirits happy, would leave out food (treats). If, for any reason, they left nothing, the spirits would get upset and play “tricks” on the people. There was a time when I saw my divorce as just that, a treat that turned into a trick. Like many, it never dawned on me that my marriage would end. I knew it could end. I was a child of divorce but talk to me seven years ago and I would’ve been that Mrs. So and So saying, “I’m never getting a divorce.” That was a quick lesson in “Never say never.”
Remember when marital problems and divorce seemed like a thing that happened to “other” people? Do you remember seeing the divorce stats in this country and saying, “That’ll never be me.” Or did you say “I do” with a slight pause, figuring that you’d play this as trial by error? If it works, it works and if it doesn’t, you could always get out. But it didn’t quite work out that way, did it?
Looking back, I find it so peculiar that it only takes you $25 to get married (a marriage license) and a bare minimum of $10,000 to get out. Maybe people thought that $10,000 would make you think twice but what else is there to do about your marriage when you’ve done all you can do, begged, pleaded, cried, and, after ten or twenty years, it’s still the same?
I’ll tell you what you can do: CHOOSE YOU.
At the heart of CHOOSE YOU, Not Divorce is the core principle that while you cannot change your spouse, you can change you. All those years you spent trying to get your spouse to change, focusing on improving the “circumstances” in the hopes that a change in finance would lead to a shift in romance, it was a lesson, a BIG ONE.
To experience whole life change, the only person you are responsible for changing is you. That’s why this phenomenal coaching program is called CHOOSE YOU, Not Divorce! Divorce is not about choosing to not be married. No matter what you choose to do about your marriage (whether you stay or go), the decision should always be made after learning how to choose you first, how to make you and your needs a priority in your life. Only from that perspective can you make the right decision about your marriage.
Isn’t it time you choose you?
