Family life : Divorce Last Updated: Feb 20th, 2010 - 02:41:22


Family life : Divorce
Irreconcilable Differences
Divorce on the grounds of “irreconcilable differences” is generally not admissible in marriages between Orthodox Christians. Why not? I believe it has something to do with the Church’s rejection of the underlying secular assumption behind divorce due to “irreconcilable differences.” Our culture tends to think of a successful marriage as one in which husband and wife are actually twin souls in different biological clothing. Your “one true love” is that special person who matches you perfectly, who completes you, fulfills you, perfects you, is actually your “other half” and so on.
