“I don't have a father, you don't have a mother. » This is a famous quote from the movie “The Parent Trap”. Have you ever thought your child would say something like that? This would be a very horrible situation for you. However, this situation occurs frequently and divorce rates continue to increase today. According to a forthcoming article in the Journal of Economic Perspectives (Ampersand), the annual divorce rate in 1860 was close to 0%. In the 2000s, the annual rate was close to 20%. So what is the reason why so many people are getting divorced today? There are many reasons to divorce, in particular; Changes in the role of women in society, personality difference with spouses and lack of communication are the most common causes of divorce. First of all, the change in the role of women in society is in my opinion the clearest cause. In the past, women spent most of their time at home cleaning, taking care of their children and their husbands. Meanwhile, “the men put on their suits and head to the office.” (Thuong, 1) Because of these roles, women had to depend on men for everything. However, women have now reached the same position as men. “Women who have achieved great reputations in government, business, sports or the media have become a familiar sight today. » (National Resource Center) Due to these circumstances, women do not want to be tied to their husbands and homes. They want to live freely and do what they want. Second, another reason for this problem is personality difference with spouses. Before marriage, everyone really does their best to agree with their partner because their lovers are not completely bound by law with them. After marriage, on the other hand, it is certain that their lovers are completely linked. As a result, they demand more and expect too much from their wife or husband. They forget that people are all different. When my mother had the first argument with my father since marriage, she was initially very upset. However, she thought: "He is just an independent person." » After that, she was able to understand my father and my father also tried to understand my mother. This is an exemplary solution for not understanding the difference in personality with spouses. King Solomon noted, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens his friend.” » (Proverbs 27:17, NLT) Like this quote, it is important to make efforts to reduce differences..
