I have come to realize that peace is what everyone needs, peace is what everyone desires, and peace is what everyone yearns for.
Amid conflict, people desire peace, amid pain, people desire for these pains to be taken away in order for peace to reign in their hearts. Humans desire peace. They pant for it like the deer pants for the water.
No one desires to come to a house full of ranting and shouting, no one desires to be in an office where everyone is jealous of each other resulting in daily arguments, and no one will love to live in a toxic environment. Some people will embrace peace if it was visible. But just as air is invisible, so is peace. But peace cannot just fall from the sky, it is our duty to create and make peace.
When it dawned on me that my marriage lacked peace, I did all I could do to save our marriage but my husband's mind was made up to sign the divorce papers.
He loved the things I hated and I hated the things he loved. This fact has turned our home into a wrestle ground. We booked counseling classes to see if our marriage can still be fixed but non of us is ready to tolerate each other any further.
I got tired of our constant arguments, hence I accepted to sign the divorce papers. There are no children yet which makes it even easier. As much as I hated divorce, I feel it’s time to let go. My greatest mistake was not accepting us to properly date or court each other. I felt the Lord has spoken and that was all that mattered. But the question is, was it God that spoke? Indeed many voices speak in a man and each is significant. But it's time to let go for peace to reign, to avoid killing each other someday.
