Many people who have been married quite a while complain that there is no spark left in their marriage, yet it is not as difficult to get spark back into a marriage. For instance consider that human bonding often occurs during adversity and the 2006 Atlantic tropical hurricane season is definitely going to be a big one and let us face it that is a lot of adversity coming out to you with 200 miles per hour winds.
If you decide not to evacuate or even if you do decide to follow the mandatory evacuation required by law then you may have one more additional experience of heavy adversity to help bond you in your marriage and this could prevent divorce or even thoughts of such action.
If you are forced to spend extra time with a loved one during such horrific events, then once you are completed you will find that you have an experience with that individual that is special and unique and having lived through a hurricane together will help re-bond your marriage.
The good thing about the Atlantic tropical hurricane season is very common and happens every year and this adversity can help not only bond you and your spouse but also your whole family. Look at the bright side the hurricane could possibly save your marriage. I hope you will consider this in 2006.

When parents come to an agreement on a detailed parenting plan that reflects the overall best interest of their child they will often enjoy a more stable, predictable, and consistent schedule by reducing the amount of misunderstandings, conflicts, and legal costs often associated with litigation and the courts. A parenting plan is a document that is created in the context of a child custody matter to help the parents outline a parenting schedule, which may include a description of their timeshare with their child and each parents responsibilities to raise their child.
How can parents and their children benefit from a detailed parenting plan? Creating a detailed parenting plan can provide predictability in the parenting schedule for both the parents and their child. This allows the parents to make plans for their child and implement a regular and consistent parenting routine for him/her. A child who knows in advance which parent he/she will be with and what he/she will be doing can feel more secure, stable, and self-confident than a child who is left constantly worrying and wondering where he/she will go and what he/she will be doing.
How can a detailed parenting plan reduce my legal costs? Having a detailed parenting plan can reduce the likelihood of misunderstandings between the parents and the conflicts parents often face with ambiguous parenting schedules. Having a detailed parenting plan can reduce the potential for disagreements between the parents thereby helping the parents stay out of court and away from litigation. Over time, parents who have a detailed parenting plan in place typically experience lower legal fees and attorney costs, which are often associated with high-conflict child custody disputes and protracted child custody litigation.
Although a detailed parenting plan will generally benefit both the parents and children involved in a divorce and child custody dispute, you would be wise to consult an attorney to learn where you stand legally on your particular matter and to learn if a detailed parenting plan is the best approach for your situation before entering into any sort of proposed parenting plan agreement.

Are you thinking about divorce? My best advice to you is to get your finances in order. Get rid of debt and do your homework to find out where you are financially. Nothing about a divorce is easy, but facing difficult financial changes may be the most challenging practical issue. Who gets the second home? How do you handle retirement plans now that you will be living separate lives?
Divorce forces people into new financial situations. Remember, you are the one who is new to this. Other people have been here before and there really are solutions that can help you out here. It can be very difficult to ask questions if you do not understand the issues. Some people who are newly divorced have to create their own budgets for the first time. Some have to learn how to balance a checkbook or manage money. You might even need to get a job for the first time.
Do you know how to handle credit? Protecting your credit can be very complicated throughout your divorce. If your credit cards are all joint accounts, the wife is due for a cruel adjustment after the divorce. She will be considered as if she has no credit history at all. After the divorce, she cannot get a loan for a car or a house. It is as if all of her life with you has been invisible. It is wise for both of you to open a credit card in each of your names alone, just in case you need it for an emergency. That will also build a credit record for each of you not just for the primary card holder.
What about your upfront cash and checking or savings accounts? Do you have enough money in your accounts to pay your bills right now and for the next six months? Is it possible to set up two separate households on the income you have together right now?
Perhaps you cannot afford a divorce? It is natural to expect the “bad guy” to suffer. Whoever you feel is responsible for the divorce is the one who has to pay up and give out. Go live in a motel or in the back of a station wagon while you keep the house, the alimony, the kids, the dog, the prestige. Well, that is how it looks for you if you let celebrities be your moral guide. Or theatre. But it does not have to be that cut and dry or cruel. In the world of real people you can recognize that both of you are responsible to some degree for the failed marriage relationship. Accept the reality of your intent to get a divorce. You can and maybe ought to be civil to each other, especially if there are children involved.

When children are at stake in a divorce, it may complicate and delay the issuance of the divorce decree. In some cases the courtroom has become a battle field for parents who are disputing the role of the custodial parent or disputing child custody. In such cases, judges today are often ordering a child custody evaluation of the family by experts in the field of child psychiatry, psychology or mental health. The mental health experts typically evaluate the activities of each parent, the life at home, parenting skills, relationships with the child, the childs feelings and preferences and in many cases utilize psychological testing. The recommendations of the expert involved can be a basis to a custody agreement or can be rejected by the two parties letting the judge have the final say.
What are the common child custody agreements? There are numerous types of child custody agreements and there is no one size fits all child custody agreement that works for all families and children. But here are some basic sample child custody agreements that can be reached following a divorce.
First, child custody agreements can be reached regarding physical custody. Parents or judges have to determine with whom the child will live with and which parent will be allowed to be with the child. A parent can be granted sole physical custody in which the other parent will have little to no contact with the child. Sole physical or full physical custody often takes place in cases of physical abuse or a high degree of poor parenting skills by the other parent and in cases where it would be in the best interest of the child to have such an arrangement.
Legal custody typically has to do with decision making rights. Legal custody generally gives parents decision making rights regarding their childs health, education and welfare matters. As it is with physical custody, a parent can also be denied the right to legal custody and on those decisions if the other parent obtains sole legal custody. Further, parents can also agree or be awarded joint legal custody. Absent a showing of detriment to the child, joint legal custody is often granted to the parents.
Common child custody agreements can be worked out in a parenting plan and can be ordered by the court or agreed to by the parents. These child custody agreements generally address legal custody issues such as the health, education and welfare of the child and physical custody issues such as with whom the child will live with and how often the child will have contact with each parent.

In cases where child custody is being disputed when a couple decides to separate or divorce, the divorce decree will often include a child support order. The child support order typically defines the frequency and the amount of child support payment that one parent, who is generally the non-custodial parent, has to make to the other parent, who is generally the custodial parent, for the support of their minor child. One of the main purposes of the child support order is to regularly transfer the earnings of one parent to the other parent to combine the wealth of both parents to financially support the child.
How is the child support payment determined? Child support matters have been very ruled by federal laws in order to prevent too large of a difference in the amounts being ordered from one court to another. Child support payments are typically determined according to basic and objective federal guidelines. Consequently, most states have set up mathematical formulas to determine the amount of the child support payment. Attorneys are often able to calculate child support payments for their client using child support calculators to give an estimate of the potential amount that the non-custodial parent will have to pay the custodial parent.
Which revenues are taken into account in the child support formula? The child support calculation formula usually takes into account the net incomes of the parents. This may include all federal and state income taxes, Social Security and Medicare tax, health insurance payments, union dues and other mandatory expenses that are deducted from the gross income of the parents before calculating the child support order. In many cases, parents may also have to present evidences regarding their incomes including pay statements, profit/loss statements of sole proprietorships, or tax returns in order to prevent one party to hide income to the other party to properly calculate child support.
In addition to the net incomes of the parent, the child support formula takes into account other factors such as the amount of time a child spends or lives with each parent, number of children, special medical or education expenses. Determining the amount of the child support can be very complex and the child support calculation formula can vary from state to state. As a result some states decided to use computer programs to determine the accurate amount of child support while others have different methods.
If you are seeking help in determining child support payments you would be wise to consult an attorney in your area to help you calculate and determine the amount of child support based on the child support formula in your jurisdiction.

The nuptial idea is used as a primary symbol for the relationship between God and His people in both the Old and New Testaments, and it is the highest relationship between a man and a woman. Jesus honored marriage by granting His first miracle at the wedding at Cana in Galilee. Marriage is meant to illustrate the mystical union between Christ and His church, and between husband and wife.
Then why do we make it so difficult for ourselves? Years ago an article I read in a church periodical placed the primary responsibility for submission upon the wife, but the article also stressed the corresponding need for submission of the husband to his wife. Indeed, mutual submission is inseparable from Christian love, for it is only within Christian love that there is true submission. Otherwise, tyranny results. Only in love is there the freedom to say, I will. And the only way to keep that promise, that nuptial covenant, is mutual submission under Gods dominion. The true standard of Christ cancels out the double standard that exists in so many marriages. In a truly Christian marriage two egos succumb to the I AM. Where this is not the case, the two egos clash.
In my own marriage, as in so many marriages, the sweet icing of attraction and intensity turned sour for us once the heavy responsibilities overwhelmed the once carefree days and nights. In the heat of anger and frustration I began to doubt the wisdom of this much-touted institution of marriage. I became convinced it was an institution of the penal type, with no time off even for good behavior. My friends, who I unwisely let in on my problems and who were locked in the same woeful situation, readily agreed, of course. Misery loves company, goes the adage. One truth is certain: discontent breeds quicker than rabbits. We did not help each other!
Then one short-fused day something I heard on the radio helped me to accept the idea that staying in my marriage was Gods will: You may think you have gone against Gods will when you married, but dont ever consider it a mistake, because God can cut the cloth to fit the pattern. I was so impressed with that image of God fitting us to His will. That day I prayed for faith to believe that in the human circumstances of misunderstandings, fatigue and all the other robbers in marriage (Satan is the robber baron), God would trim and shape our frayed cloths of pride and selfishness, our hurts and hates.
Ones imagination can make a valuable contribution to life. It can also be like a wild bacterial disease racing through the mind, growing rapidly and pushing out positive and constructive thoughts. In marriage, as in any close relationship, the faculty of imagination must be brought under spiritual control, just as all other members of our bodies must be given to His control. Satan, knowing how easy it is to take control of our minds, insinuates the idea that our spouse no longer loves us because he or she forgets to do something, or says something in the distress of fatigue or illness that hurts us. For some reason its all right for the neighbors to have an off day, even the in-laws, but the spouse is expected to be in top emotional and mental shape 24 hours a day, 366 days a year.
As I prayed and thought about our marriage, I found a major problem was my own overactive reactive imagination that reveled in rehashing past hurts that should have been long forgiven and forgotten. When I wrote the list of my husbands good points and my own bad ones, I decided to regroup images into a more constructive pattern. I wanted to see - with a productive imagination - the good marriage we could still have. When the imagination started to conjure up the bad memories and experiences, I prayed to the Holy Spirit to remove the unholy spirit that is the source of our destructive thoughts.
I want to stress here that I realize there are unbearable situations in families in which separation is the only recourse that will bring peace and harmony. My stepfather finally divorced my mother after she got drunk and threatened him with a gun. I watched with horror as she put the gun to his chest. The shock triggered a massive heart attack. Somehow he survived, and when he was well enough he got a divorce - and me! I dont believe God requires us to remain in impossible situations.
My concern here is with the marriage that shipwrecks on the rocks (pebbles, really) of those nits of misunderstanding and impressions that lead to depressions. But the battered hull is salvageable, and it can be repaired with Gods hammer and wood, and re-varnished with a coat of Gods love. I know to the despairing this may sound like something written by the angels who have no earthly experiences. It may seem impossible to start again and to love again. Certainly I thought so. Then after I read 1 Corinthians 7:12-14, I was ashamed to admit that I couldnt be Christian enough to remain with a situation that I helped forge with my own hot tongue and temper. Scripture compelled me to step back and take an extensive and objective view of my spouse. I was forced to recognize and admit that he is a good, decent, dependable and hardworking man.
When I searched Scripture, the final arbiter of my actions, I couldnt come up with an excuse to do what I wanted to do. The only message from the Bible that came through so clearly was the necessity of unconditional love and understanding on my part and, above all, forgiveness. I prayed to better understand my own motivations and lack of innovations to make the marriage work. I begged God to give me the strength and grace to be a true helpmeet for my husband.
Had I ever known the meaning of love as Jesus translated it in Gethsemane and on the Cross? Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone you will be loyal to him, no matter what the cost. You will always believe him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him (1 Corinthians 13:4-7, TLB).
No! I hadnt reached that pinnacle of spiritual success, and probably never will. And if I, as a professing Christian, had to admit that I failed every day and fell so short of the glory of God, what right did I have to blame my husband for any failures, alleged or real? And what right had I to leave him, considering the damage I had inflicted on us?
If, as already stated, one of the reasons for the rush to dissolve marriages is lack of appreciation, another is the diminution of the sense of responsibility towards others. The me-first blocks we use to build the precarious foundations of families and societies eventually become stumbling blocks. Like it or not, we have a responsibility to others, primarily our spouse and our children. We cannot possibly measure the present and future effects of the thought, words and deeds of our lives, or even our deaths, for what we do and say lives on in the hearts and minds of those entrusted to our care while on this earth. Yes, it is an awesome responsibility!
If we are normal, we all have days when we would like to say to our children, Im fed up with all these demands and chores, kids, so Im taking the day off from smother-hood. Or to our spouse, Ive had it up to my fast-graying hair with having to account to you for everything. I think Ill take a month off and do my own thing. If I had a nickel for every time Ive nursed those temptations, I could afford a divorce! But the fact remains that when we say those vows we also accept the obligations and burdens that accompany them. Even so, you say, God gave us choice. We can walk out on it. We can also choose to stay with it. But for the serious Christian who can find no excuse to divorce, there is no moratorium until we reach the mortuary! Again, let me stress that I realize there are indeed impossible situations that demand relief. This is not an attempt to pass judgment on anyone elses circumstances.
One day my husband and I were discussing the impending divorce of friends of ours who had been married many years. Our state law has what is known as the dissolution clause. My husband unwittingly called it the disillusion clause. I laughed, then thought how appropriate, really. We go into these lifelong contracts with great illusions and expectations, only to discover that we all have feet of clay and hearts of stone. The only way we are going to be freed from idolatry and slavery is to pray for new hearts of tender flesh and new minds of tolerance and understanding.
I have discovered that forgiveness is the real essence of a close relationship. This is the gold vein in the gold mine of love. But how my heart rebelled against it. Forgiveness! Had I not every right to resent what was done or not done? Said or not said? No, God, I vowed, I wont forgive!
Its amazing how we nurture snakes in our proud bosoms. I nurtured hatred, and I wasnt going to let anyone take that prized possession from me. Then one day a friend brought me a book that gave new words to an age-old lesson that we so often refuse to learn. The author made statements, in terms I could not mistake, that we are responsible for our sinful hearts, our sick minds, and our lawless natures, in the sense that we can be rid of them if we want. The author suggested that the sooner we learn it is our own attitudes and reactions that make us happy or unhappy, and not others actions, we would be that much closer to a healed mind and contented heart. It was a distasteful dose of spiritual medicine, but one I needed desperately at the time. I dropped to my knees and begged the Holy Spirit to create in me a clean heart … and renew a right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10).
The book also helped me to view my husband from the perspective of my own sins and shortcomings rather than through the clouded lens of his alleged faults. The light reflected back on me, and I saw my own black heart. If God can wipe away that blackness from my heart, the buildup of years of myopic self-pity, I thought, then surely He can give me the power to forgive my husband, someone He had already forgiven long ago. It was the only route I could travel, the final option open that would keep us together. If Jesus at the Last Supper with patience and love and humility could wash the feet of twelve bickering disciples (including the man who betrayed Him!), then a sinner such as I must forgive fully and freely and in turn be freed from the prison of hate.
I methodically studied the gift of forgiveness in the Holy Scripture and other religious books. There is no mistaking Gods demand that we are to be peacemakers. A paragraph by A.P. Stanley from a treasured book Daily Strength for Daily Needs, written many years ago, spoke directly to my heart: We may, if we choose, make the worst of one another. Every one has his weak points; every one has his faults; we may make the worst of these. We may fix our attention constantly upon these. But we may also make the best of one another. We may forgive, even as we hope to be forgiven. We may put ourselves in the place of others, and ask what we should wish to be done to us, and thought of us, were we in their place. By loving whatever is lovable in those around us, love will flow back from them to us. Life will become a pleasure instead of a pain, and earth will become like heaven, and we shall become not unworthy followers of Him whose name is Love.
I constantly reminded myself that there is a law which operates in this lovely but difficult business of forgiveness: God forgives us, and we forgive each other. But if we dont forgive each other, then He cant forgive us. Above all, we cant extract the last ounce of payment before we grant full pardon. The story is told of a married man who went further than indiscretion with a certain lady. He expressed his profound sorrow to his wife. She then spent the next several years salting the festering wound, never letting it heal. Finally one day the long-suffering man had suffered long enough and he told his wife that he was leaving. She began to cry and she begged him to stay, assuring him that she now would forgive and forget his sin against her. Oh no, you dont, he snapped back as he walked out the door. You cant give me something I paid for years ago!
Marriage is proudly called a 50-50 proposition, but a successful union calls for 100 percent of our effort. The IOUs add up in the drawer of our mind, and we pull out the drawer during stress times. Instead of keeping track of our spouses IOUs we might try putting our own into the empty space: IOU for taking on the responsibility of a family; IOU for loving me enough to overlook my moods; IOU for letting me pursue my hobbies without question; IOU for being kind enough to leave me alone when I need that aloneness; IOU for being willing to stay home alone when I go on fishing trips, etc. We can think of many more, Im sure. In the thrust of anger we might try pulling out a few of these. Theyre guaranteed to make us feel ashamed when we realize how much we take for granted! Our own IOUs take the contentIOUs of our marriage!
Gratitude seems to have become a lost art, if not a lost cause. In this age of scientific advances, when material goods are so plentiful, its too easy to forget the Giver. Likewise in marriage, its too easy to forget the human giver. Only when food becomes unavailable do we really get hungry. Only then do we appreciate what we had when food was there for the taking. The analogy can be applied to our loved one. Perhaps, along with our morning worship, we should visualize an empty chair where our spouse usually sits, and consider the loss and what its effect on the family would be.
Gratitude is a sign of maturity and spiritual perception. There were not found any that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger (Luke 17:18). Jesus honored the one who returned to thank Him. We forget to thank many people, and those we thank the least are those with whom we spend the most time. It should never be said among family members that familiarity breeds contempt. Instead, close association should develop love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control. And our spouse and children should have first pick of that rare and beautiful fruit of a converted spirit.
Gratitude also implies contentment in whatsoever state we are, literally and figuratively. Paul had experienced the best and the worst and he could be happy with either. That is quite an accomplishment and a goal devoutly to be wished for in our own lives. If gratitude is on one side, then the flip side of the matrimonial coin is that forgiveness we discussed earlier. If we can keep our minds filled with the positive values, then the mind wont be free to wander into forbidden territory. There wont be room for Satan to return with his seven devils of impatience, pride, irritability, resentment, selfishness, injustice, and rudeness that strangle the life out of marriage, as well as other relationships, including our children.
Now in fairness to the staff (whether rod of authority or crutch), I would like to speak for the distaff side of the couple. I realize we have been liberated, but only when a man is able to bear a baby in all senses of the word will I be convinced that male and female are truly equal. At the risk of setting back progress two centuries, I state my belief that if both men and women performed the roles assigned them by God from the beginning, there wouldnt be such a mighty attempt to neuter the world.
Christ Himself paid the supreme compliment to women by personifying the church as both mother and bride. This alone should convince us of our sublime purposes and responsibilities. Thomas Otway, who lived from 1651 to 1685, speaks glowingly, O woman! Lovely woman! Nature made thee / to temper man; we had been brutes without you; / Angels are painted fair, to look like you; / Theres in you all that we believe of heavn, / Amazing brightness, purity, and truth, / eternal joy, and everlasting love. We women havent changed much since the 17th century. Imagine a 21st century man coming home to such a lovely wife!
This fits in with what Peter says of the meek and quiet spirit of woman: Your adornment is rather the hidden character of the heart, expressed in the unfading beauty of a calm and gentle disposition. This is precious in Gods eyes (1 Peter 3:4, NAB). We may attempt external beauty through lotions from the drug store, but we can attain loveliness of character only through Gods grace, recognizing that our role is that of comforter and not combatant. Men and women were created to complement each other - and a compliment a day would help, too! Not even the women can blame the men for their anger if the men hear demands for rights while the duties are left home crying. Soon the men count more wrongs than rights. A woman once told me that she wished the females who seem so intent on their rights would leave hers alone. She enjoys the privileges of not having to compete for a living, and she likes being treated as the weaker sex, although we gals know this is not true!
I firmly believe that the family is the basic unit of society. If we can mend our families, then we will have a mended society. But this indeed takes the mind of Christ, a mind that can wade through instant gratification and the tyranny of the now with its consequences, to the quiet, everyday love and loyalty that ensures domestic and societal tranquility. It may not be as much fun, but it certainly is more rewarding! With prayer and a willing spirit, we can achieve it.

There are many couples today that cannot make their marriage work and they jump to the conclusion that they must get a divorce. This is something that both parties may agree to or just one person in the relationship may have this idea on their mind. Either way, it is the ending of a marriage and something that needs to be thought about very carefully before doing going through with it.
A divorce will sometimes be called a decree of dissolution of a marriage. It is a legal process that has to go through the divorce courts. You cannot have just anyone terminate your marriage. It is final and it is a very serious matter that two people need to think about when their marriage is not making them happy. However there are things that a couple can do first before they decide to actually get divorced.
A divorce is the termination process of a valid marriage between two people. There are different reasons for divorce for different people. Many times a couple will try many other actions before they go ahead and file for a divorce. They may try counseling or talking to one another. They may also decide to take a vacation away from everyone else and try to work it all out. Sometimes it is just not possible to get through all the hard times and move past them with a happy marriage. It is sometimes the only choice between two people.
With a divorce the parties or court will resolve all the issues that are between them like the house, and other property that they jointly own, child custody and visitation as well as support in the form of alimony and from whom. There are many people that end their marriage peacefully and yet there are others that make it drag on for many years because they cannot agree on anything for the divorce. In fact current divorce statistics show that 1 in every 2 marriages end in divorce.
The process of the divorce is going to be hard on all the parties, but the effects of divorce on children needs to be carefully monitored. This is something that can really upset them and it is important to make sure that they get the care and the love that they need to understand that everything will be all right, and that they are not to be concerned with anything that the adults go through. This will help to comfort them and give them the secure feeling that all children need in this time of separation.
Divorce does not mean that the two people that were once married can no longer speak or have a normal friendship. In fact it is recommended that if there is children involved the divorced parents need to work together to make a divorce as easy as possible. This will keep everyone happy and make the divorce not seem so cold as many do.

Like most states, the standard for child custody determinations in California is the overall best interest of the child with an emphasis on assuring the health, safety, and welfare of the child and frequent and continuing contact with both parents absent child abuse, domestic violence, or where the contact would not be in the best interest of the child as provided in the California family code section 3011 (See California Family Code Section 3011, 3020, 3040, 3080). Further, according to California family code section 3040, child custody should be granted in an order of preference and according to the best interest of the child.
A common challenge for the court is to decide who will get custody of the child. Child custody may be petitioned by parents, grandparents, stepparents, or any person who believes they can provide suitable care and guidance to the child. So how does the California family court or a California judge handle competing persons seeking custody of the child? According to California family code section 3040, child custody should be granted in an order of preference and according to the best interest of the child. The court looks first to grant custody to both parents jointly or to either parent before looking to grant custody to other persons. California however does not currently establish a preference or a presumption for or against joint custody arrangements. Instead, it allows the California family court or California judge to make the parenting arrangement decision on a case-by-case basis according to what it believes reflects the overall best interest of the child. If neither parent is granted custody, then the court may look towards the persons home in which the child has been living and the stability of that environment and then to any person deemed by the court to be able to provide appropriate care for the child. In short, the court will typically look to grant child custody first to the parents according the best interest of the child and if they are deemed unfit the court will then look to grant child custody to other persons according to the best interest of the child.
If you are involved in a child custody battle with the other parent, grandparent, stepparent, or any other person, you would be wise to consult a California family law attorney to help you learn where you stand legally and what your legal options are with respect to your child custody rights and visitation rights.
