Reasons for divorce

It doesn’t mean that couples need big reasons for divorce. Even the smallest reason can break up one relationship. Money can be a problem in one marriage, going out with friends and not having time for the family can be another problem. Not having a good job or not earning a good salary can also be a good reason for divorce. Lack of communication causes conflicts too. The worst reason for divorce is violence. Many women in the world face violence by their husband. Not all of them are brave to ask for a divorce. They stay in a marriage to protect their children from suffering.

Psychological effects on a child of divorced parents

The psychological effects on children depend on the years’ stage when the divorce happens. Sooner or after, divorce has bad effects on the physical health of children. Children of divorced parents are prone to injury rates, they have an increased risk of asthma. They have emotional and behaviour problems and differences between children who live in intact families.  At the time of separation of the parents, their children have school problems, don’t have friends, they are angry and loneliness. Some of them fall into depression. The other one stay hoping that things will get better and they will be family again.

Personal opinion

My personal opinion about this topic is that choosing a partner to spend all life with him/her is not a joke. Is a serious decision and couple should think twice. After getting married, every problem in marriage has a solution. Divorce is not a solution for problems in marriage!
