Divorce

The increasing rate of divorce has become one of the very popular topics discussed in modern days. What exactly have caused such phenomenon?

Firstly, one of the reasons could be incompatibility. Even at this new millennium, some marriages are still pre-arranged and hence, those couples have little or no chance at all to get to know each other better before they go through the wedding ceremony. This will eventually cause much unhappiness between the couple after marriage since they are not accustomed to what each other does! In the end, divorce will surely be seen as the best solution.

Secondly, I will say that communication between couples is vital too. Nowadays, more and more women are entering the workforce. As a result, the spouses have lesser time to spend with each other. Mostly, this will in turn weaken their relationship bonds and gradually, their need to depend on each other spiritually will be totally lost. As such, feelings for each other are often expected to be lost somehow as well. Once again, divorce will take place.


Lastly, different expectations between couples also affect their relationship directly, since changing roles in the family is rather common in present days. (The spouses split and share the jobs that are previously deemed as the work of the other party equally) Women are expected to look after both the family's discipline as well as work, and Men are supposed to manage not only their work, but household chores too! Due to the fact that maybe both are unable to fit the different expectations between each other, a strain in their relationships will eventually lead to a divorce as an ending.


Although there are also some other reasons for couples to divorce each other, I only emphasize on these three as I felt that they are of much more significance than the other reasons.
