What could possibly cause people to get divorced after being married 31 years???

I’m still asking that question myself. I have Always said “Divorce is not an option” and I still stand on those words. I can admit and accept responsibility for my part in the demise of my marriage (which will be detailed in my book), but I wasn’t the one that wanted to end it, I didn’t file for divorce. I am a firm believer that with God’s help we could have overcame anything and that was my hearts desire…..to save my marriage but I guess our hearts were going in to 2 different directions so he wanted a divorce, God allowed it and had to accept it.

Would you ever marry again?

Absolutely, I will marry again because I loved being married. Marriage is not the problem, it’s the “people” in the marriage. I also realize that I’m a relationship type person. I have always been like this, I guess that’s how I stayed faithfully married for 31 years.

Have you started dating?

After leaving Omaha & my divorce, I made a conscience decision to take some time to allow God to work on/in me, focus on my children (their mental & spiritual well being) & other things that God was directing me to. Being in a relationship “marriage” for over 30 years & having it end the way it did caused some major damage to me and I’m not afraid or ashamed to admit that. Because of the length, intensity and intimacy of my relationship, I’m am aware that there will always be residue from that relationship but I am willing to do whatever it takes to minimize the effect of that residue because I certainly did not want to carry all of that baggage into a new relationship. I also didn’t want to jump right into another relationship or in/out of multiple relationships in a attempt to fill a void.
So to answer your question YES, I have started dating. 🙂
