Briefly describe what you believe is a major domestic problem confronting the United States - socially, economically or in health care. Indicate how you think this problem should be resolved.
Divorce, a seven letter word, shatters the dreams of two married people. It is what is done to dissolute a marital relationship. One of the major social issues in our society is the increase in the divorce rate. The divorce ratio is higher today than compared to rates just fifteen years ago. Divorce is like an epidemic in our society that is spreading rapidly. If the couple have children, they are the ones that get most affected by a divorce.
It all starts off from small misunderstandings turning into larger disputes. A couple begins to have arguments and then their children also start to get involved. Children see all the arguments and the fights their parents have; this has a psychological effect on a child if he/she is very young. When the two parents separate, the children begin to wonder where the other parent is. They are always asking for the parent that they don't often get to see. The perfect family picture is ruined.
In 2012, the divorce percentage increased to about 46%. This expresses the fact that almost half of married couples were divorced by 2012. Divorce has different causes, ranging from stress to financial reasons. If the children have witnessed their parents getting divorced, they will most likely turn to the negative side; which is either by dropping out of school or even doing drugs. This is because after their parent's separation, they are not given much attention. Divorces don't only end in separation; they continue to future problems such as custody fights or kidnapping threats by a parent.
Marriage is a commitment for a lifetime. It shouldn't be taken very lightly. A couple should always think before they make the vows. They should not only consider them as words that are just uttered but also an agreement to the promises they make. Even if a couple has problems, they should not make a big deal out of certain matters, and solve it with patience. They should handle them softly and compromise with each other's decisions. There are marriage workshops and counseling that can be considered to ease the problems of a couple. To decrease or self-righteous the divorce rate, our society needs to be supportive and caring. Marriage is an ideal for life, but divorce is an unpleasant reality in our society.
