Divorce, a common term which is becoming more prevalent in today’s society.

Divorce is
viewed as a dissolution of marriage, or is the process of terminating a marriage, or a material
union. There are no two marriages that are the same, and every marriage has its own strengths
and weaknesses which will differ from one another. I’m going to go on a limb and say that there
is no such thing as a perfect marriage. I will also stand by the fact that there are many different
factors which can ultimately lead to divorce. Reasons for divorce can again differ from
relationship to relationship and couple to couple.

Reasons for divorce, I think it’s safe to say one of the main factors is money. Financial strain can
make married couples become crazy in a sense due to the fact that money touches so many
aspects of their lives. Money issues can cause stress in so many different ways. In return stress
then has the tendency to shut down communication between them. A lack of communication can
also lead to breakdowns in trust, and the end result is often divorce. In order to have a healthy
marriage specifically with a financial aspect in mind, they must both have a clear understanding
and know what the financial expectations are.

Lack of intimacy within marriage has been known to break down overtime. It has become less
about physical contact and more about the transition into deeper love. Sex is still an essentail part
of every marriage. Intimacy involves paying attention to one another and showing the emotional
connection. The communication aspect of showing that you care and asking the questions is what
provides that connection which further builds into intimacy. When intimacy begins to diminish
each partner may feel rejected. In return from that can then cause another factor which is
infidelity.

Infidelity can stem from numerous different factors, some of which being money,
communication, and lack of intimacy. Infidelity can also start out as something smaller and more
casual such as a friendship with the opposite sex, but then slowly evolve into a emotional
connection, which ultimately leads to a physical connection. Infidelity can be the ultimate
downfall of many marriages but many marriages have attempted to work through the recovery.

Statistics in today’s society show that more than 40% of today’s marriages end in divorce. One
thing to mention is that the divorce rate has actually declined within the past decades. However,
the reasoning behind why it has declined it hard to pinpoint. It could be due to less people
wanting to get married, or more people waiting until later parts in their lives to take that step. In
my opinion I do not foresee a point in time where marriages stop. I personally think that there
will be less marriages over time, however, there will always be couples who choose to make that
life choice. Individuals want to have an emotional connection with others. As that connection
builds so does the likelihood of extending that connection. I think most individuals at some point
eventually want to share their life with someone else, and that is the reason why I do not think
marriage is a status that will no longer exist.
