16- In the modern world today the rate of divorce is rising dramatically in
most societies.
In your opinion what are the most important reasons for getting divorced?
Use specific reasons to support your opinion.
Marriage is known to be a lifetime commitment towards love and caring among
people. However, most marriages these days seem to be failing due to the
increasing number of problems with the modern world.
Why do people get married? Well it is a known tradition in
humanity that a
woman and man will come together and live their lives as one. The most
important element that seems to have disappeared is love not just any love, but
true, deep-feeling love. To keep a relationship clear, the love itself should be
clear, not artificially placed. If there is no well-defined understanding of love,
then it should obviously not be a marriage. In some traditions, they have what is
known as an arranged marriage. This is the process where
love is somewhat
“forced” to exist between two people.
Disloyalty is another reason leading to divorce. Nowadays adultery is one of the
most popular reasons for most divorces and it usually has the worst outcome as
well. These include
physical and verbal fights, splitting of a family including
children, lawsuits, and much more.
Financial problems can also end a good marriage. This cause leads to fights on
spending
too much money, making a bad investment, and purchasing useless
things. Being stingy can also be another bad reason. No
matter what the reason
is, the causes of failing marriages are practically endless,
Unexpected health deterioration is still another problem. In the Modern world
women or men would rather get a new life than stay with
a husband that will
sooner or later die. Physical illness is pretty bad as well. If a man is impotent or
a woman is infertile, this means that they cannot conceive a child. Some
people
believe that the main reason for marriage is to have children, and if there is no
potential of having children, then why should they stay together?
Finally, I believe that the young people must change their attitudes towards
many
things such as love, life, loyalty and so on before they end up in divorce
themselves.
