Christian Marriage Gone Wrong

Now in an era of technology, young women have a huge pool of people to interact with and consult for help. They do it under their own name, but often under a handle or pretend name. 

In the 1980s when I married a man I shouldn't have, things were different. I didn't have broad world experience. I only knew what my friends, parents, and church taught me. My world was small but expanding when I met Randy. 

I didn't have a pool of friends by then. It seemed my university friends had all gone their own ways and no one wanted to be a third party to a couple.

Being an introvert, I had a hard time cultivating new friendships. So I fell for it. I fell for Randy's idea that we marry.

But there was hesitancy. I wanted more and better, but I didn't know how to get it. I didn't know how to let him down and part ways. 

These days, women go online to ask for advice from complete strangers. They hear other points of view. 

I currently see lots of women who married young and got out of a miss-marriage, or who are going through trials now. 

When I was separated in the '80s, Christians didn't talk about divorce. Marriage was supposed to be longterm. Having no confidantes was hard. So were my legalistic viewpoints. So I stayed tethered to Randy though he didn't want to live with me. I needed someone to cut the cord. It took a lot out of me. It took too much than anyone should have to give.
