Sustainable family is considered as the best social foundation. Nowadays, divorce rate, however, is gradually increasing especially the divorce rate of the youth. Most of married couples are unable to maintain their relationship so they decide to get a divorce. There are three main causes to this increasing divorce such as life style, economic growth and equal gender. These issues have become a hot topic that is the major concern of many people. Therefore, they have found out the ways to improve one.
The first obviously cause in the rise in divorce rate is that the youth now have tended to live in their personal lifestyle. They love each other in the short time and get married quickly. Furthermore, they do not ask their parent’s opinion for advices while parents always have many life experiences. As a result, their love can be not enough strong to help them overcome the difficulties in marriage. Another reason for this issue is the faithlessness. As I mention above, many spouses get married easily without understanding well each other. Therefore, the felling of passion soon fade when they undergo together family life.
The second cause for rising in divorce rate is that economy is growing along with the social development. People want to improve their standard living so they try to earn much money. It is clearly that some of people have considerable pressures to earn money. For example, if a husband or wife get laid off from their job, stress can start to occur and this lead to arguments between spouses. When they argue too much, they will be tied and often want to divorce. Another thing is that young girls nowadays have tended to marry rich or powerful person without thinking that money or power does not exist permanently. They try many ways in order to make man become their property. They do not know exactly what the marriage foundation is. Therefore, it is also the reason to increase gradually the divorce rate.
Last but not least, the cause in the rise in divorce rate is gender equal. According to the UN, the country with the highest divorce rate in the world is the Maldives with 10.97 divorces per 1,000 inhabitants per year. This is followed by the Belarus with 4.63 and the United States wih 4.34 [1]. Most of the divorces are required by women. Because the main reason is that the equality between man and women in roles are much equal now. In the past, women just stay at home and do the entire home work and the husband was considered to be a bread-winner. Women had to depend on her husband’s money so it is difficult for them to divorce. However, this situation has changed nowadays. Women go out to work and man share household work. Therefore, women can earn money by themselves and they can put an end to an unhappy marriage which is impossible in the past. This is followed by noticeable speed in divorce rate.
Those causes are the major concern of many people as well as parents nowadays. They also find out the method to improve this situation in the best way. The classes before marriage are being noticed. People think that the youth should learn these classes so that they can know how to maintain the family as well as love of spouse and so on. Besides that parents should give their children the best advices so that their children can choose the happy family for themselves.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that the methods to improve divorce rate should be noticed, especially classes before marriage. Moreover, people should think carefully about marriage so that they can have a happy life with their partners especially the youth. If people are thoughtful in marriage, they will have a happy spouse life no matter what the difficulties are.
