CNN.com recently reported that studies found going through a divorce does permanent damage to your health. Though those who remarried showed some improvement, they still exhibited more long-lasting mental and physical deficits than men and women who are married once and remain married.
Linda Waite, a sociologist at the University of Chicago said in the article,
“Losing a marriage or becoming widowed or divorced is extremely stressful,” Waite said. “It’s financially, sometimes, ruinous. It’s socially extremely difficult. What’s interesting is if people have done this and remarried, we still see, in their health, the scars or marks — the damage that was done by this event.
Divorced people “have more chronic conditions, more mobility limitations, rate their health as poorer than people like them in age, race, gender, education who’ve been married once and are still married,” Waite said. (read the rest of the article)
We have all seen the toll divorce takes on the lives of the couple and their children, relatives and friends. Though the study deals with the physical results, it does not even begin to measure the emotional, mental, or spiritual effects.
