One of the questions people face when going through a divorce, especially here in the Bible Belt, is which spouse is going to stay at the family’s church. In my own experience, one or both of the spouses stop attending the church they were attending pre-breakup. If a parent changes the church he or she attends, then a child can lose another institution in their life.
The Lutheran magazine reports that it doesn’t have to be this way. The article recommends parents put their emotions aside and put their children first. The article goes on to suggest that parents keep the church in mind when making separation or divorce agreements. They should try to keep that one thing stable for the children to increase their peace of mind.
The magazine states that the parents can attend different worship services or alternate involvement in church activities. I must confess that I’m not sure this would work in small rural churches, such as those that are common in Hattiesburg (and the rest of Mississippi).
