Life As a Single Mother Is Hard, Don’t Leave Your Marriage

Married woman, before you exit your marriage, you should know that those women telling you to divorce your husband are unhappy, bitter and angry. They want to ruin your life. Unless it is a case of physical abuse, don’t listen to them. Life as a single mother is HARD.

Don’t Divorce Your Husband: The Brutal Truth About Life As A Single Mother

To the married woman standing at the edge of the abyss, holding divorce papers and listening to the voices of ‘friends’ encouraging you to leave: Stop. Do not take that step.

Before you exit your marriage and walk away from the commitment you made, you need to understand the true motives of the people cheering you on. Those women—the ones who tell you to ‘put yourself first,’ to ‘find your independence,’ and to ‘demand more’—are often unhappy, bitter, and angry. They are seeking company in their misery. They want to ruin your life so their own struggles with divorce and single motherhood feel less isolating. Don’t let their bitterness dictate your future. Unless your marriage involves physical abuse, you must turn a deaf ear to their corrosive counsel.

The truth is stark: Life as a single mother is brutally hard.

It is not the glamorous, independent life portrayed on television or social media. It is a life defined by exhaustion, financial strain, and crushing loneliness. You become the sole provider, the sole emotional rock, and the sole disciplinarian. You lose your financial safety net and your shared parenting duties. Every breakdown in the home, every fever at midnight, every bill, every school concert—it all falls on your shoulders alone. The man who takes your hand after the divorce often vanishes when he realizes the immense work involved in raising another man’s child.

This isn’t an attack on single mothers; it is a warning to married women. I have seen countless women look back with profound regret, realizing too late that the grass was not greener, but simply harder to mow. The problems you face in your marriage—communication issues, frustration, disappointment—are problems you can work on together. The problems you face as a single mother—poverty, exhaustion, and isolation—are problems you will face alone.

Do not trade a difficult marriage for a devastating divorce. Do not choose loneliness over the complex stability of a two-parent household. Choose the hard work of commitment. Choose to fight for your marriage, for your children, and for the life you already built. Don’t let bitter voices or temporary unhappiness destroy the foundation of your family. The cost of ‘freedom’ is often far too high.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
