When is National Ex-spouse Day?

Friday April 14th

Very few marriages end amicably. Many people who have ended a marriage are encouraged to forgive their former spouse and move beyond any anger or sadness that may persist. And even those that aren't aren't free from angst or regrets, there are those that aren't.

Sometimes marriages just don't work out for a variety of reasons. According to the most recent estimates, the divorce rate for first marriages is at 51%. People who are divorced find that they get along better after a divorce than they did during the marriage. Unfortunately, most divorces do not turn out to be helpful, and the process can be difficult and traumatic. Whether it's a friendly or a family split, there must be a way to handle the situation when children are involved.
