50/50 or perhaps the issue lies before marriage!!

Divorce in the Bible sure was warned against. But perhaps what is not talked about much in the Bible is how that affects the children involved. I like many others have come from a divorced home and to this day I often wish I could just go home where there is a mum and a dad. Easier said. Children and young people who have to deal with divorce really in my mind grow up very fast as if their childhood is taken away and they are counting down the minutes until 18 hits and they can have a voice in this crazy mess. Easy in court room settings to say 50/50 but much harder for the people living it. It is easy to say that you know best or a judge to cast a judgement on a situation that they hear for a moment in time. When raw emotions and the very children you brought into the world with love our now been ordered by a court judgement to do what may hurt them the most. No one looks at long term 5,10 or even 20 years from now. I wonder if you took a group of divorced kids and asked them to really say how they felt about their parents divorce what they would say. I would say the resounding message would be that they wanted security. Yet society brushes these facts to the side and money is made by lawyers and such a like. Perhaps the root of the issue is before the marriage more training in communications telling the couple you must go through a financial class and communications class before this land or any other will allow them to marry. You say that is harsh but isn't that what you are telling the many young people who are told you have to do this 50/50, this is what the courts feel is best for you. Perhaps if the issue was dealt with by the very adults who said "I do" to begin with less children, young people would be pushed in the middle of a court system that just see's their name on a piece of paper and selfish parents who will not see that life of their children is ticking by ever so quickly.
