Marriage Is War: Divorced Women Share Their ‘Return From Battle’ Stories

Marriage Is War: Divorced Women Share Their ‘Return From Battle’ Stories — 1 of 7
1 / 7

Some divorced women—and even a few still married—have taken to calling marriage a war and themselves wounded soldiers.

She joked that it’s better to return alive but wounded than to come back in a coffin, adding, “God loves divorced people.” Others chimed in with their own bruising tales—some even recounted two failed marriages, while a few still married but yearning to leave joined the discussion.

It might help to focus on setting clear boundaries and regular check-ins in a marriage to prevent misunderstandings that feel like battlefield flare-ups.
