Restore Your Faith in Love: Seven Pathways to Success
“My marriage is quite the opposite of my parents’ marriage. My husband treats me with respect, trust, and consideration – and loves me for me. We have a bond just like I wanted for myself.” – Catherine, age 39
As a daughter of divorce, the single most important task ahead is restoring your faith in love. You might desperately want love and life-long commitment, but fear losing it. It’s only natural to dread reencountering the same fate as your parents. But how can you emerge with strength and hope? As an adult, you may have come to the sudden realization that the relationship patterns you experience in your life mirror those of your parents. In the realm of romantic relationships, there is a lot to learn. The problem is when parents divorce, they don’t provide their children with healthy relationship templates to follow. But with courage and persistence, you can reject the models you were raised with and create an intimate relationship that endures the test of time.
While love and commitment should not be taken lightly, most of the women in our study have a healthy respect for both. You can exercise free will and learn to avoid the pitfalls that increase the probability of your own divorce. Although happy relationships eluded your parents, you still have time to re-write your story. Your divorce experience has made you stronger, more realistic, and better prepared for the requirements of love. While marriage is not desirable for everyone, and many women reject the notion of it in the twenty-first century, it can bring love and security for those willing to withstand the inevitable hard times. Whether you choose to marry or not, examining various pathways for success will help you to achieve personal happiness and lasting love. Keep in mind, it’s never too late to heal and restore your faith in love.

This is really a quite excellent read for me, Have to admit you happen to be 1 in the most effective bloggers I ever saw.Thanks for posting this informative article.
I’m still learning from you, but I’m trying to reach my goals. I absolutely liked reading everything that is written on your site.Keep the information coming. I loved it!
Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
Admiring the time and energy you put into your website and in depth information you offer. It’s nice to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same outdated rehashed material. Great read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Hey there, You’ve done a fantastic job. I’ll certainly digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I’m confident they’ll be benefited from this website.
Hello! I’ve been reading your web site for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Houston Texas! Just wanted to say keep up the good work!
Thank you for taking the time and spreading this information with all of us. It was really very helpful and informative while being straight forward and to the point.
I really enjoy your info. Had this been 12 years ago and Iwas in my past marriage, I would have been like;”she’s making this up”.However a healthy relationship can have such a positive impact on how we percieve ourselves. With my ex-husband, I was 22 yrs young, long hair, thin and fit, yet he managed to make me feel like dirt. However my cuurent husband, whom wed me at 37, a recovering cancer survivor, thick from post chemo steroids, and nearly bald makes me feel like Beyonce’s got nothing on me, and that is priceless. You go girl! cookies
Peggy,
As a daughter of divorce, I know firsthand the strong yearning for love and commitment – it’s normal to want to create the love we lost as children. Yet, like you, my first husband was wrong for me and I often felt unworthy and ashamed of my past. It’s crucial for us to be able to feel vulnerable and to be able to share our fears without judgement. Only then can we embrace love, trust, and intimacy. I’m so happy that you’ve restored your faith in love. You are worthy of lasting love and all that it has to offer! Stay well and keep in touch.
