Is It God’s Good Plan to Crush and Grieve You?

Living in a difficult or dying marriage is hard. Going through a divorce feels like torture, as if one's heart is being suffocated in their chest. Confusion, fear, anxiety, and worry take up each waking (and sometimes sleeping) hour of the day. Dying, many days, seems preferable to living. But God loves his people so much, he's not only given them the information in the Bible, of where our marital problems are coming from and how to address them, but he also put Jesus through the same and even worse experiences in order to give us an example to follow along with the power and desire to keep going, while being crushed and grieved in our marriages.
