Steemcameroon poetry contest season 10 (Divorce)

Divorce is a situation wherein two legally married people decide it is better to go separate ways. They often go before the court where their problems or reasons will be looked into before their wish is granted.
As an individual I dislike being a part of any relationship that cannot be immortalised, because I believe in hapily ever afters and I know that it cannot be possible without problems, but then I know that those challenges come to make us grow and without them we cannot fully understand each other as a couple given that a couple can hardly be raised in the same back ground and even if raised in the same background we have our different ways in which we perceive and understand different life situations and for that we must always disagree to agree. I have had to painfully watch some beautiful marriages go to ruin in the name of divorce. Besides both adults going with aching hearts and hurt feelings the children who often come as a result of such marriages end up in broken homes. That makes the whole thing more twisted and very annoying.
People have different reasons for divorce but I think rather than marry to divorce later, why don't we take every necessary precaution to avoid it in the future of our relationships. I have put together some words in poetry below which explain exactly how i feel about divorce

DIVORCE!
Such an easy word to use
So many lives it crushes
A decision made by two adults
Which destroys the lives of the innocent
A decision made with such ease
A decision often fueled by ego and the desire to have control
A decision which had better been prevented
Which seems like a means to an end
But is often the beginning of an unfortunate end
As leaves emotions ailing and mental health is disrupted
A decision that premarital counseling could prevent
But the excitement of love at first sight won’t let us think
The grass always seems to be greener on the other side because it is properly taken care of
We should learn to tend to ours and stop wishing to have what is not ours
If only we could go back to the old days where marriage was a covenant
That kind of covenant which is entrusted in the hands of God
Then, the value of the covenant of marriage could be raised again
Then people going into marriage won’t go in just for fun
We all will have to take both sides of it; FOR BETTER AND FOR WORST
A vow of such few words which determines the rest of our lives once taken
TOGETHER LET US MAKE MATRIMONIAL LIFE SACRED AND WHOLESOME AGAIN!

Thanks for your keen attention

hahahahaha, beautiful was what you were seeing from the outside. Sometimes they want us from the outside to see the beautiful side.

This is the only part about divorces that actually disturb me, innocent kids are being dragged into the drama.

What a detailed poem, touching every aspect of divorce. But divorce is an option in a marriage that anyone going into marriage needs to accept and not make look like it is an abomination.

Yeah that too but it shouldn't come as the first option of solutions to every problem
