While it is true that divorce results in many negative experiences and painful changes, it is also true that in that rubble some gems can be found. Think and pray about it. Did you go back to school as a result of your divorce? Did you learn a new skill? Did you make a new friend that has helped you or added to your life in some positive way? Did you draw closer to your faith? Did you renew/repair an important family relationship? Are you seeing your family more often? Are you able to help other divorced people because of your experience? Looking back helps you gain perspective that there is always some good that comes out of something bad.

We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28
