Divorce is not an option for many until they have carefully considered many other choices and finally decided that splitting up is the only choice. If you are not sure whether you should go for it, here are some questions that you must ask yourself before making a decision.
Do I need to opt for divorce or do I prefer a better marriage with my spouse?

Many people often consider divorce even though they are going through ordinary experiences, however, what they are going through might be difficult and are in fact relationship challenges that cannot be resolved. If what you are looking forward to is a change, divorce is a drastic step.
Can I deal with the unpleasant consequences of divorce?
Divorce brings with it many changes and a lot of grief since it is the loss of your dream of a happy family. Disappointment, rejection, loneliness and hurts can grab the soul when you are in this highly vulnerable situation. You should have the support of your friends and family who can help you practically and emotionally when required. This over everything and get prepared for the real life situation.
Do I still love my partner?
