US - The popular saying that if you cannot stand the heat, leave the kitchen, but leaving the kitchen because of the heat does not mark the end, so many good things are expected to come out of the place notwithstanding the unbearable heat.
This seems to best describe the case of this estranged couple who were seen sharing good time and celebrating their divorce after parting ways when their relationship did not work out after 13 years of marriage.
The US-based couple took to social media to share photos of themselves hanging out at a restaurant recently after finalising their divorce.
It was gathered that the couple have a son before deciding to go their separate ways.
The former wife, Hannah Renee Bell, in a post shared on Facebook, said she and her ex-husband, Fard, are now focusing on their next season of life as friends and co-parents.
The ex-wife, who said her post is not meant to advocate divorce but to celebrate the failures in their marriage, shared five lessons she learned in the failed marriage.
She advised young people to take time to know themselves, even if they heard from God, they shouldn’t rush to the altar. She also advised that marriage takes work, intending couples should make sure their priorities are compatible and never ignore core value differences.
In the lengthy Facebook post, she wrote:
“This post is NOT meant to advocate divorce, nor is it to celebrate our failures in our marriage. We choose to celebrate what good came of it and we hope others can also learn from our mistakes BEFORE marriage or divorce…
“It’s official. Yesterday our divorce was finalized. After our court hearing we had lunch together, ringing in our next season of life as friends and co-parents.
“As we reflected on our 13 years of marriage, together we came up with 5 marital lessons we learned along the way:
“1) Take the time to REALLY get to know yourself, your purpose, your vision, your priorities, and your core values before committing yourself to someone else for life. Get clear on your non-negotiables and on your deal breakers before saying “I Do”. Otherwise, your newfound vision can create division if it’s not in alignment.
“2) Even if you believe you heard from God, there’s no need to rush to the altar. Take your time and enjoy the process of courtship, or you’ll find yourself getting to know each other after you’re already married.
“3) Before getting married, make sure your priorities are compatible and don’t ignore core value differences. While marriage takes compromise, there are some things that can’t be compromised. Eventually, either you’ll try to be someone you’re not, or you’ll try to change the other person into someone they’re not and it won’t work.
“4) Marriage takes work. Don’t underestimate the amount of work that it takes to build a strong marriage. Go to marriage seminars together before getting married, learn what it really takes, and make sure you’re both willing to put in the work together. If you don’t grow together you’re gonna grow apart.
“5) Hindsight is 20/20. We may not be able to change the past, but what we can do is make the best of our current situation and of the future, out of love and respect for ourselves and for our son. Life doesn’t always work out exactly how we planned, but God can still get the glory from our story.
“We truly believe all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. God can still make something Good out of our situation. We are both proud of the life we built together over the past 13 years. And through this marriage the most wonderful miracle was born, Jacob Victorious Bell. And for that we will always be grateful.
“So here’s to new seasons, fresh starts, and new normals. 👐🏽 (Btw, no need to choose sides. You can love us both equally!! 😂)”
