While most people think of divorce as a negative event in a person’s life, others see things differently. For some, divorce is the best thing that ever happened to them. The best things about divorce are often some of the most overlooked. Keeping these positives in mind can help you to get through your split with your sanity intact.
New-found Freedom
For some, marriage can be constricting and stifling. It can be a time of restraint, and of sacrificing the things you really want out of life. Many people embark on trips around the world, others go back and get the education they’ve always wanted. Still others get a complete makeover, lose weight and totally change their appearance. Divorce is a new chapter in your life and you get to start with blank pages.
Improved Finances
Although divorce can be draining on the bank account, you will eventually recover from the cost of your divorce. Many divorced couples find that they are free to pursue better earnings opportunities and keep more money in their pockets without interference from their former spouse. If you have always been a saver while your former spouse was a spendthrift, you will find it great to be able to enjoy more of a savings cushion.
If you like to spend money as you see fit, you will love the freedom of not having to report every expenditure to your spouse.
A Chance at New Love
Remember what it was like when you fell in love with your spouse? Now you can recapture those feelings and experience those sparks of new love all over again. If the love has long been gone in your marriage, a divorce is a chance for you to recapture those feelings and feel your heart flutter again.
Divorce is a fresh start. Write your next chapter today.
