Divorced Anti-Divorce Columnist

A columnist fiercely opposed to divorce gets divorced. Funny? Could be. But this appears to be a case of spousal abandonment. Contrary to what people want to believe, divorce is not always a two-way street. Too frequently, it's just one self-obsessed individual causing all the problems. This columnist appears to fall in the innocent-wife category but, of course, we don't know for sure. Link. Excerpt from column:

Surely, there are folks who will say, "Ha! There they go again, people like Mrs. Hart, thinking marriage is so important, and her marriage is great, and this was never going to happen to her ..." well, yeah. Guilty as charged. I did think those things. My enjoyment of my marriage, my commitment to it and to our children, and my love for my husband, were all real. And so I end where I started: everything I ever said about the significance and sacredness of marriage - and yes, the tragedy of divorce - is true. Now it's just more tangible to me.

Sadly, the prevailing divorce culture does not seem to consider divorce a profoundly destructive thing. I do. And I don't just mean for the individuals involved, especially the children. I mean for our culture as a whole.
