In this heartfelt conversation, Emerson Eggerichs and Clare de Graaf share sobering, real-life insights into the long-term natural consequences of divorce beyond spiritual warnings, including ongoing family negotiations, blended family tensions, lost influence over children, financial strains, and eroded moral authority with future generations. Aimed at those contemplating ending their marriage or counseling others in crisis, the discussion urges looking honestly at the "rest of the story" to choose perseverance over short-term escape.

Questions to Consider

  1. What "rest of the story" moments might unfold in your family if divorce becomes the chosen path?
  2. Who are the five closest people influencing your current decisions, and do they raise or lower your standard of righteousness?
  3. If your children later face marital struggles, how would your own choices affect the credibility of the advice you give them?
  4. When unhappiness feels overwhelming, what deeper fears or fantasies might be driving the temptation to see yourself as the exception to the rule?
