Quote by Spencer W. Kimball
Every divorce is the result of selfishness on the part of one or the other or both parties to a marriage contract. Someone is thinking of self comforts, conveniences, freedoms, luxuries, or ease. Sometimes the ceaseless pin pricking of an unhappy, discontented, and selfish spouse can finally add up to serious physical violence. Sometimes people are goaded to the point where they erringly feel justified in doing the things that are so wrong. Nothing of course justifies sin.
Summary
This quote suggests that every divorce is ultimately rooted in selfishness from either one or both individuals involved in the marriage. It implies that one or both parties prioritize their own desires, comforts, or conveniences over the well-being and commitment of the marriage. The quote also highlights that persistent negativity and selfish behavior from a spouse may escalate into acts of violence or justify wrongful actions, but ultimately emphasizes that such justifications cannot excuse sin.
