Divorce Cause and Effect

Recently, divorces have become a common thing in modern society. In the USA, there are 46 523 divorces per week. They are likely to happen in families where a wife is more educated than her husband. From ancient times, people treated families as valuable and important units of society. However, there are more and more divorces nowadays. It became difficult for people to maintain good relationships, and they choose divorce as the easiest way to solve all kinds of family problems. The interesting fact is that divorces happen more often in educated and cashed-up families. Poor or less educated families are more stable. There are three reasons why divorces occur; they are changing women’s roles in society, the stress in family life, and the lack of communication between married partners.

First of all, during the last decades, the role of a woman in society has changed incredibly. Earlier, a woman was sitting at home, cooking for her husband, and taking care about children. The role of a man was to earn money and provide a comfortable life for his family. Although, recently the situation has altered as women work now, occupy managerial positions, own companies while men sit at home and care about children. Certainly, such dramatic changes in roles have been reflected in the relationship in couples. Women are more independent now than some decades ago, they are not going to obey and tolerate their husbands.

Secondly, stress in families is caused by the rising of living standards in the society. The higher prices are the more money people need to earn. Food, living conditions, and education are becoming more and more expensive. Women are trying to earn enough money for living, and if they cannot, they blame husbands on the failure to make provisions for family. Surely, it causes a lot of stress for both partners, they start to quarrel and finally, break up.

In addition, both women and men work a lot nowadays; weariness and bile seem to be the common things for people in a marriage, and this affects the communication in a married couple. They do not communicate too much, they are not interested in each other’s businesses, and they become indifferent to each other’s lives. Women start to work and completely forget about their family missions to be careful mothers and fond wives. They are ready to sacrifice their family and develop the career; it causes a great deal of divorces.

The effects of divorces are dramatic. Firstly, children who are brought up in single-parent families behave rebelliously in social life, because they do not receive enough attention from the parents. Such children are too rude with people, they do not listen to parents and teachers, and they are very difficult to control. Moreover, some of these children start to take drugs without thinking of effects. Also, nowadays, orphanage centers are coming up very fast, because people do not think of families and children seriously. Giving a birth to a child does not make some people feel responsible to him/her life. If a couple cannot live together and divorce, a child suffers from it the most. Women do not have someone to be faithful to, they live in a reckless manner, and this causes a lot of diseases and decadence.

To sum up, we see how much divorces affect the society and morality, and this situation is worsening every year. The obligation of the population is to prevent such a state of affairs by any possible ways. We cannot allow our family values to be ruined and the society to lapse.

  • Present stage of civilization gave women power which is called now women empowerment. They can move at large now. But how to live with an empowered woman yet to teach.

    • I'm so sorry that we're making life complicated for men. XD Well, you can start learning it by listening to her needs...  

  • Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, these women are really the worst... I'm totally against all these divorces. Women should obey their husbands keep their mouths shut. LOL Back to the middle ages.  *rolling-eyes* 

  • If I have to summarise this post -

    It seems to reflect on one of the cause of divorce as women empowerment. As women are growing professionally it's leading to fending off from family. Rightly pointed that one of the reason is growth or expansion of horizon a women achieves when she steps out. However, if we equally(men and women) take responsibility and be answerable to our actions we can decrease the rate of divorces. Most of the time, it's the blame game for not fulfilling respective familial duties which leads to an argument eventually leading to divorces.
