Is it Really Till’ Death Do Us Part:FGCU: Randye Brindle
Nowadays it seems that divorce is a common action taking place in America. When a couple gets married they have a 50% chance of getting divorced in 2009. This rate keeps rising over the years. When people get married now everyone wonders if they will stay together, many years ago once you got married you were married for life. As I mentioned 50% of people get divorced if it is their first married, your second marriage is a 67% rate of getting divorced. If you get married for a third time then your chance of getting divorced goes up to 74%. These statistics are very shocking; it shows that marriage isn’t taken as literally and seriously as it used to be. Another factor to this is age when you get married, the older you are your risk of getting divorced goes down, ages from 20 to 24 have the highest percentage of getting divorced, which is ironic because those are they ages many people are starting to think about marriage.
Another issue with divorce is there maybe children involved in the family. Statistics show that those couples that have children have a little less percentage of getting divorced then these without children. I’m guessing this is so because the couple with children know that if they get divorced then if doesn’t just affect the couple it affect the children dramatically, so they may try to work it out a little more.
Is it better to stuck it out when it isn’t going to change? Although I think that couples should try to make it work, and not look for the easy way out. When a problem comes up because it is guaranteed to happen then the couple should look at it and a challenge, and find ways to fix it rather than act defeated. When something comes up in the marriage the first answer should never be divorce. With this being said I don’t think a family is considered a happy functional family when the couple is fighting constantly. In some cases divorce is necessary because some people change and it doesn’t work out, but it takes time and patience to be involved in a marriage and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. People should go into it and know what they are getting into.
