“When I was a kid, I heard a story about half of all marriages end in divorce. At that time, it was a story about my parents. Twenty years later, I heard the same story — that half of all marriages end in divorce. Then, it was a story about my wife and I. Today, I heard the same story again — that half of all marriages end in divorce. Now, it’s a story about my kids.

It changed because I changed.” ChildrenUnderstandingChangeMarriagePerceptionDivorceStoryRereadingReinterpretation Book:Heaven and Hurricanes Source: Heaven and Hurricanes
