Losing a mate to death is devastating but it’s not a personal attack like divorce. When somebody you love stops loving you and walks away, it’s an insult beyond comparison. – Sue Merrell
Divorce is the result of a lack of preparation for marriage and the failure to learn the skills of working together as teammates in an intimate relationship.
I am a divorced child, of divided, uncertain background. Within this division I-supposed fruit of their love-no longer exist. It happened nearly forty years ago, yet to me, nothing is sadder than my parents’ divorce. – Sylvia Kristel
I harbor ill feelings toward a society, and a clergy, that allows marriage partners to split over the smallest incompatibility, where divorce comes in a multitude of flavors, like Baskin Robbins ice cream, where men and women can blame one another and everything except themselves for matrimony’s mess. They look for externals over which they have no control and, fingering them, take no responsibility.
Instead of getting married again, I’m going to find a woman I don’t like and just give her a house. – Lewis Grizzard
Nowadays love is a matter of chance, matrimony a matter of money and divorce a matter of course. – Helen Rowland
My parents’ divorce left me with a lot of sadness and pain and acting, and especially humour, was my way of dealing with all that. – Jennifer Aniston

I had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me. – Kurt Cobain
An open marriage is nature’s way of telling you that you need a divorce. – Ann Landers
But in the real world, you couldn’t really just split a family down the middle, mom on one side, dad the other, with the child equally divided between. It was like when you ripped a piece of paper into two: no matter how you tried, the seams never fit exactly right again. It was what you couldn’t see, those tiniest of pieces, that were lost in the severing, and their absence kept everything from being complete. – Sarah Dessen
The obvious effect of frivolous divorce will be frivolous marriage. If people can be separated for no reason they will feel it all the easier to be united for no reason. Divorce isn’t such a tragedy. A tragedy’s staying in an unhappy marriage, teaching your children the wrong things about love.
It’s tough. After five years of marriage, it’s difficult to lose the one with the good credit rating. – Rich Voss
Divorce is a fire exit. When a house is burning, it doesn’t matter who set the fire. If there is no fire exit, everyone in the house will be burned! – Mehmet Murat ildan
It’s hard to talk to divorced men, always sensitive from the divorce. They take things the wrong way. “Nice day, don’t you think?” “I don’t want to make a commitment.” “Want half of my ice cream?” “I don’t want half of anything anymore.” – Elayne Boosler
If you made a list of reasons why any couple got married, and another list of the reasons for their divorce, you’d have a hell of a lot of overlapping. – Mignon McLaughlin
Divorce is one of the most financially traumatic things you can go through. Money spent on getting mad or getting even is money wasted. – Richard Wagner
In college, I had a course in Latin, and one day the word “divorce” came up. I always figured it came from some root that meant “divide.” In truth, it comes from “divertere,” which means “to divert.” I believe that. All divorce does is divert you, taking you away from everything you thought you knew and everything you thought you wanted and steering you into all kinds of other stuff. – Mitch Albom
Marriage problems are relationship problems, they are the result of how two people interact with each other. You may abandon a troubled marriage, but you will still bring the way you interact with others along with you.
When people divorce, it’s always such a tragedy. At the same time, if people stay together it can be even worse. – Monica Bellucci
