For thousands of years to this day, the best way to officially be someone's partner is through marriage. People have been practicing marriage for a long time. It is the best act to celebrate the love of a couple until death separates them. However, people cannot keep their marriage vows forever. This situation leads to the phenomenon called divorce, which unfortunately is becoming more common than ever and is bringing drastically new effects to the lives of the people involved. Some causes of divorce vary from couple to couple, but the most frequent ones tend to be the changing role of women in society, lack of communication and lack of trust in the relationship. A significant cause that leads to divorce is the change in the way of life of women. roles. In the past, women depended only on their husbands' earnings. In the meantime they had to take care of most of the housework. In other words, men were responsible for providing financially while women took care of the family. Nowadays, equality between women and men is less of an issue. Women can have a job, can earn their own money and are able to finance the cost of living. Meanwhile, men can do the same housework that women focused on, such as caring for children, washing, cleaning, and cooking. Furthermore, another major cause that contributes to divorce is lack of communication. Communication is very important, especially in relationships like marriage. Imagine a football or baseball game; It is important for the players on the team to have effective communication with each other if they want to successfully execute their plays. If they communicate correctly they can win games, the same way we can solve our problems in our relationships. Sum...... half of the sheet......b. October 22, 2014.
