It was really hard for me to divorce my husband after 17 years. We were married civily because I was a new convert and he was not a member, but was open to the church & was attending with me every Sunday. I also fasted & prayed…

"It's Better to Have Loved and Lost"

Salli's Divorce Support BlogSometimes I wonder if people who haven't been divorced feel that those of us who have been somehow didn't make the correct choice in a marriage partner the first time around. I wonder if they believe we didn't follow the spirit when we were choosing our mate, or that we were not wise, or that we weren't living worthily at the time.Personally, I was as deserving and striving for what is right, as any young woman can be at that stage in life. When my temple worthy…See More

Divorced? Keep Your Temple Recommend Shiny!

I hope all of you reading this blog have a temple recommend; if not, please devote your energies to becoming temple worthy and getting yourself to the temple. The temple is a place of peace and revelation--and you can't have enough of either of those in this life, as far as I'm concerned! When I was newly divorced, I remember a particular interview I had with my bishop. He was sympathetic, helpful and, with his encouragement, painted a future for me that was bright and exciting. I will always…See More

Relax, LDS Divorced Parents

I was reading an entry in my journal the other day written during my former divorce days. I felt a keen responsibility to my children to set a good example, as I wrote:"So many thoughts, so many areas of concern. I never anticipated that someday I would be a single parent in a home where the full burden of setting a good example to my kids, of living the gospel, would be on my shoulders alone. I so much want to set a pattern they can follow."I want them to see me in church, paying my tithing,…See More

Nelda Asay commented on Salli's blog post 'Divorce and the Single Adult Program'

What I am finding difficult is the lack of programs for singles in the over 50 and 60 age group. I may be 60 but I'm still "young" and would love to be able to mingle with others in my situation. I find that there are more and more…

Saints of the Latter-days

Ken and I hosted the awesome Single Adults in our ward last Monday night for FHE--I gave the lesson. I chose to discuss Benjamin De Hoyos April conference talk entitled: Called to Be Saints. In his address, Elder De Hoyos makes a rather amazing assertion when he points out that the church bears the Savior's name, Jesus Christ, as it should, but that the…See More

Divorce and the Single Adult Program

LDS Divorce Support When I was newly single, I recall when I first realized I was eligible to attend Single Adult activities--it was not a pleasant feeling! I felt I was taking a step backwards in the church, having gone from a married-with-children status, to what I regarded as an inferior position as a single/divorced sister. I viewed the Single Adult Program as a consellation prize intended to formally categorize me in my new, demoted…See More
