The Truths And Myths Of Divorce

According to the National Health Statistics Report, nearly half of all first marriages end in divorce (Casey et al. 2012). As this rate has drastically increased since the mid-20th century, divorce has begun to create many setbacks for society in terms of the economy, crimes rates, mental health capacity, and academic achievements. While initially divorce was seen as an issue for families individually, society as a whole is increasingly subject to facing the repercussions.

Divorce is viewed differently by many people. Sometimes this is due to experiences, what others have said, or looking at studies that are not always accurate. However, not everyone can have the same views about marriage ending in divorce. In the article, “No Easy Answers: Why the Popular View of Divorce Is Wrong” by Constance Ahrons she shows her view on divorce. Ahrons believes that divorce does not have long-lasting damaging effects on children (65). Divorce can affect children in the family but the way the decisions are made is what will change the way the kids are influenced.

Marriage is a life long religious sacrament recognized by God between two people who love each other. This amalgamation is a representation of an unspoken eternity of love and commitment. All too often the pressures of marriage prove to be too tedious resulting in a devastating marital collapse and ultimately a bitter divorce. Over a million children have seen their parents divorce every year since 1972 (London). Events that transpire during the separation process create a nocuous environment for the children involved. Divorce is controversial because it negates the vows that are held to a high regard in Gods name. The opposition of divorce stems from the detrimental effects the separation can have on a child’s mental state, emotional stability

Over the past decades, the divorce rate has increased tremendously. Sadly, society today has made it seem like divorce is a normal thing. There are many consequences to making such a big decision that does not only affect the couple, but also could affect the whole family. The effects of having a divorce could include financial loss, children suffering, and be emotionally unstable.

Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany on June 12, 1929. In 1942 her family went into hiding in a secret annex in Amsterdam, above the factory store where her father had worked. At that time, Hitler had oppressed the Jews and had forced many of them into concentration camps. To avoid being separated and imprisoned, Anne’s family chose to go into hiding for almost twenty-five months. Anne was only thirteen when they moved into the annex, and began their terrifying stay. Because of her ability to write, and her dedication to her diary, we have learned a great deal about Anne and her life.

By definition, divorce is to break the marriage contract between oneself and one’s spouse by a judicial declaration dissolving a marriage in whole or in part. This is a result of tension which is a mental or emotional strain of a relationship between individuals. When going through the process of divorce, most of children’s opinions are left out of the process. This causes a great deal of tension for the children. Many children become very stressed during this process because they do not want their parents to separate (“The Truth About Children and Divorce”). The tension of divorce negatively affects children’s everyday life because the parents are not taking the child’s opinions into consideration leaving the children feeling left out and rejected.

Divorce has become very popular in the United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, on average 50% of marriages result in a failed marriage. This percentage has been at it’s all time high. Not many couples have sustained a successful marriage in present days. Divorces have been around for a long time, and unfortunately kids have always been affected the most according to their age.

In society today, divorce is more the custom than it has ever been before. There are countless causes for divorce as there are people who split-up. There are numerous dynamics that subsidize to divorce, such as financial issues, substance abuse by a partner, irresponsibility of one or both parties, sexual carelessness, the effortlessness of receiving a divorce, and several other reasons. Divorce is the result of a marriage that is confronted with complications that appear undefeatable, an incapability to cooperate, relationships growing at a distance, material misuse, a religious conviction that forgives annulment, authorized simplicity of obtaining a divorce, the cheapness of receiving a divorce and additional influences. Divorce destroys not only a marriage, but families and children involved too. Divorce causes further problems in the future for families and children. The effect of divorce can even lead to additional physical and mental abuse, rebellious children, and even health problems.

This paper looks at divorce from different perspectives of thought. By using personal experience, critical thinking and Christian integration I am able to evaluate the implications of divorce. Marriage is a vow intended to be kept, and when a couple decides to separate it detaches from God’s perfect will for their lives. From a sociological standpoint divorce can effect kids, government policies and communities. Divorce does not only effect the couple but people outside of it. The rate of separation is so prevalent that society accepts this as a social norm. The goal of my paper is to prove that divorcing is not beneficial for long-term happiness or mental health. Identifying the solutions through a struggling marriage by epistemological thought and psychology will ultimately decline the rate of divorce. The concept of divorce can be understood through reason, empirical investigation and revelation. By reason, one can assume that divorce will not lead to happiness but to loneliness and uncertainty. This paper will further explore empirical investigation which has assessed that divorce will not guarantee true satisfaction or contentment. Through the testimonies of many, their experience has led to a revelation of truth in their lives, and the true meaning of marriage.

Imagine a teenage boy, completely happy with a good life and a family that he is close to. He has his own place in the family and a set daily routine that has been in place for over a decade. Now imagine something ripping that family apart. His daily life became anything but routine. Everything changed: his living arrangements, his family’s financial situation, and his security. In America, we call that divorce. According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, “One out of every two marriages today ends in divorce and many divorcing families include children.” “Only 42 percent of children aged 14 to 18 live in a “first marriage” family and intact two-parent married

The marriage institution has been facing one of the greatest challenges in the recent past. The number of divorce families is increasing daily. People are currently taking marriage lightly not realizing the consequences such decisions have on their family, more so, on their children. Divorce is the dissolution of marriage. In the past, people respected marriage institutions and divorce was a rare happening. The United Nations Demographic Yearbook records that Russia has the highest number of divorce rates in the world recording 5 divorces per 1000 people. Belarus follows closely with 3.8 divorces per 1000 people. According to the United States Census bureau, 50% of all marriages in the country end up in a divorce. The American for Divorce reform states that couples aged from 20 -24 register the highest percentage of divorce rates. They register 36.6% women with men registering 38.8%. The age group of under 20 closely follows with divorced women at 27.6% and men 11.7%. An interesting statistics points out that childless couples have higher rates of divorce when compared to couples with children. Sociologists argue that childlessness leads to weariness and loneliness and thus a contributing factor to divorce in the country. Statistics show that at least 66% of all divorced cases are childless (American for Divorce Reform, 2014).

In conclusion due to changes in roles of both women and men divorce is on the rise, and is leaving a huge negative on the ones we love most our children. Divorce

‘Divorce’ the term is made from a Latin phrase ‘divortium’ that means to turn aside or to separate. The act of matrimonial clause act 1857 give the right to people for separation by the way of divorce, but at that time that right is limited only for the men as we were living in a patriarchal society thus we can see the men domination on society by this example. But after the coming of the act of private member’s bill 1923 which also gives the equal right to the women to get divorce. The revolution had taken place soon and in 1937 the law changed and include insanity, drunkenness and desertion as a valid ground for divorce. In 1969 divorce reform act came and it was said as the key stone on this revolution because it give the right to spouses to get divorce after they had been aside by 2 or 5 years.
