What Leads To Divorce And The Consequences

In today’s society, divorce is more the norm than ever before. Forty percent of all marriages end in divorce. Divorce defined is the action or an instance of legally dissolving a marriage. Divorce itself is both a cause and an effect. Some of the causes of divorce include the lack of money, sexual indiscretion and the ease of getting a divorce. Further, the effects of a divorce seem insuperable when comparing the grief it causes on both parties. Some experts say if your marriage is shaky, a downturn in the economy will make it more likely that you will divorce.

The first significant cause of recent rise of divorce is that women completely change in roles. In the past, men have to earn money to afford the family expenses, whereas woman only do housework, and it is too difficult for most women to separate from their husbands. The equality between men and women in roles are very clear at the moment, thus women can work outside to earn money. Accordingly, the divorce rates recently rise.

Another cause is stress in modern living. Many people, who live in globalisation, have considerable pressures to earn money. It can be obviously seen that the stress has occurred since they are children when studying. Studying in celebrated universities mostly causes having a good opportunity to find a job or earn a lot of money. Consequently the stress occurs in their family, which leads to divorce. Nevertheless, the rates of unemployment trend to continually increase as a result the divorce rates can also rise.

The final cause is lack of communication. Owing to financial status in each family, many people are fairly busy. For this reason, they have inadequate time to talk to the problems with their partners, which produces the likelihood of divorce. As a consequence little problems can be expanded to probably become huge problems, resulting in divorce.

Firstly, the effects of recent rise in divorce rates are negative effects. Most couples normally have children when they get marriage. Children are more probably lead to social problems. When people divorce and break up the marriage, all of these savings are lost which results in an adverse economic impact on the couple and mainly their children. They will not have good opportunities to find a job due to shortage of education.

Secondly, on the other hand, another effect of rise in divorce rates are positive effects. People, who divorce by permission from their partners, want to have better quality of life, since they are unhappy with their spouses. Accordingly, they can work efficiently, which results from fine mental condition. They do not only have more free time to do many things, but also free from their spouses’ murmurs.

Nevertheless, there are the two different ways in effects, which are negative and positive effects. Some couples, which have no children, divorce by consent, therefore divorce should be good solution for couples to deal with this problem. On the other hand, some couples having children in their family should think wisely before they end their marriage in divorce, otherwise innocent children will become the victims of this situation.
