rizlared: In a canteen, or we go for a walk to a nearby lake and use the car park, depends on time and weather.
The badminton area is close to the Admin building, which is why they noticed us. No student would report it as they enjoy the time as well as gain from it.

I wonder if that will teach them a thing, or two about conflict (she says desperately trying to get back on topic...)

It may teach them to take time out when they're getting nowhere, or to find another way of doing things. It may teach them about setting boundaries, like agreeing to talk for half an hour, going and doing something together and then coming back to communicating.

Just a thought, or two. dunno

Friskyone: I know someone who is in a bad and unhappy marriage. Both parties are unhappy. They have small children. One parent insists on working through their problems no matter how tough it is. This parent is committed to keeping the family together no matter how tough times get. This parent is highly against divorce. On the other hand, the other parent wants the divorce in order to protect her children from living miserable lives by constantly seeing arguments, tension, stress and no sign of love and partnership between the parents.

My question is, do you fight to keep the family together and fulfill your wedding vows at all costs, do you end the marriage for the sake of the children, or stay in the marriage for the sake of the children?

rizlared: Changed in what way? You mean marriage vows are worthless now? I agree, but still find it strange that so many women who profess to be homemakers, still feel destruction of a family is better than working out problems and so ensure a loving and balenced family home


What I meant by times have changed is that nowadays people nowadays don't blink twice at getting a divorce.

CapNemo: Though a single parent can try, and do reasonably well, it will never be as fully balanced as it should be. Not that it's bad, it's just not all it could be.


I agree but only if its a happy marriage filled with love and affection.

At the tender age of 13, my daughter announced she preferred boys who were raised just by there mothers. She said you could have a conversation with them.

She found all the male posturing and assumption of superiority of the other boys profoundly irritating and wearisome.

Out of the mouths of babes... laugh

Lolette: I think breaking a vow is not an easy thing,, specially when there are kids in the story, i presume all means of saving the marriage are exhausted when it comes to a break, papas & mamas love their kids no matter what reason lies behind the rupture, much difficult to manage after ,, but most of the case it's a deliverance,,to any party ,,


Yes, marriage should be for life... yet, learning to love unconditionally is another schooling: Out of my 5 marriages, my 1st girlfriend and 1st wife are still very supportive and cordially in touch. Never left anyone till the school bell rang; always pray for their happiness and well being often. All are happily prospering according to their faith; even helped to get them back with their spouse a few times--Jesus is my 1st love!

More than Conquerors (Romans 8:37-39 NASB)

…37But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Friskyone: The absent parent can still be present in a child's lidffe to do that.
To a degree, yes. But not to the extent that full time under the same roof parents would provide.

I understand what you are saying but I can't imagine putting my daughter through so much misery since some problems take longer to solve than others.
