Luckily I have never experienced divorce.

That's because I never married my four prior fiances before finding my soul mate!

Some people, like my folks, are lucky enough that they know who they are to marry. Others, like myself, have to try, try, and try again before realizing they've met the person for whom they are meant.

The thing is, people change and grow. Not only that, they might change and grow in different directions. :-( This is not through any fault of their own - it's the path their lives take.

Communication is what helps you maintain the Inner personal edge in relationships. But sometimes, you discovered that you just married the wrong person.

It could be that after the realities of a lifelong commitment appear in stark brutal fashion, you or your partner realize that you made the wrong choice.

It could be that you married someone who turned out to be a spouse-abuser.

It could be your partner changed so drastically that not only is he or she is no longer the person you married, he or she is someone you could not conceive of marrying any time, anywhere.

Or it could be one of a dozen other problems as well.

The main thing to remember when dealing with being divorced is to protect yourself and your children (if any), both emotionally, physically and all other other 'ly's. Ideally, if you're the one who wants the divorce, you can also maintain an amicable relationship and decrease the pain as much as possible. After all, if you want the divorce, this is your action - your spouse does not deserve the pain that probably will follow.

The Inner Personal Edge, while not going into detail regarding divorce, does contains insights into ensuring you get the most out of your relationships and hone your own Inner edge.
