I had an appraiser come by earlier this week to check out the house as part of refinancing our mortgage. Sometime next week, I’ll find out what she thinks my house is worth. My family and I live in the same house in which I grew up and, whatever number she comes up with, I know it will be wrong. A home is so much more than the dollar value of an upgraded bathroom and a new stove.

The Value of a Home

Someone I know is getting a divorce. I suspect that most of us, these days, can make that claim most of the time. The percentage of marriages that end in divorce within 10 years ranges from about 1 in 4 to almost half, depending on the age of the bride. There are many reasons why couples split — abuse, dishonesty, and infidelity are common — but I’m not so interested in whether or not a particular reason is valid or sufficient. I’m more interested in why those reasons exist in the first place, especially when there are kids involved.
