Do Not Think of Divorce as a Failure

divorce does not mean failure

No one goes into a marriage expecting to get divorced. However, it does happen and can occur no matter how many years you have been married or how much in love you were when you proposed. When divorce occurs, many people label it as a “failed marriage.” While you may believe you failed, it is important to know that you have not. Here are a few key points to keep in mind when you feel like a failure in your marriage:

  • Try to view marriage as a stepping stone to a better life. Relationships are full of choices and unpredictable outcomes. However, you learn and grow along the way from all your experiences, even those that are unhappy.
  • Spending years, and even decades, with one person is not failure.
  • A marriage in which your needs are not met will teach you the importance of self-care.
  • Despite the end of your relationship, you and your ex had many great times together.
  • Divorce gives you the opportunity to reinvent yourself.
  • Without your marriage, you would not have had your children. Having children is never a failure.
  • Divorce will force you to become a stronger and more effective person.
  • You may find that you are a better parent post-divorce.
  • Divorce can teach you the value of self-preservation. You will start fresh and can build something better.
  • No one should live life on a pass-fail basis. Marriage is not a test but an experience that may or may not last.

Though divorce can cloud your mind and make you focus on the negative, it is important to remember that there were, undoubtedly, happy times in the marriage. Try not to approach divorce as a failure, but rather the end of a part of your life and the chance at a new beginning.
