  1. The Pain of Divorce on Children

  2. The Pain of Divorce on Children Insecurity (nightmares, fear of abandonment & isolation) Forced into carrying adult responsibilities (work, cook, babysit, taxi, etc.) Unresolved anger (bitterness, resentment, and animosity) Guilt (blame themselves)

  3. The Pain of Divorce on Children More likely to be Rebellious (drug or alcohol abuse, sexual immorality, and even violence) More likely to Fail in Relationships (friendship, courtship, marriage) Much more likely to be a Stumbling Block to their Faith (abusing the other spouse or the children)

  4. The Blessings of Faithfulness Instead of being insecure, children can have peace in their heart as they are more likely to not be afraid of evil. (Deut. 6:6-9; Pr. 1:33; Phil. 4:6-7; Col. 3:15). Instead of having to grow up too fast with adult responsibilities, children are more likely to be able to enjoy their life and remember their Creator (Eccl. 11:9-12:1). Instead of feeling guilty for their parents choice, they are more likely to have a good conscience (1 Tim. 1:5; Pr. 3:22-26)

  5. The Blessings of Faithfulness Instead of rebellion, you are much more likely to have disciplined children who can discern good from evil (Hebrews 12:5-11; 5:14). Instead of enduring through failed relationships, your children are much more likely to marry faithful Christians. (Proverbs 31:28ff; Ephesians 5:1-2, 22ff) Instead of being a stumbling block to their faith you can encourage them toward love and good deeds. (1 John 3:16; 4:19; Heb. 10:23-24; 13:7).
