Divorce is NOT the solution

When two people exchange vows and promise to be there for one another for better or for worst, in times of bliss and troubles, they promise each other total commitment no matter what situation the future may open out in the future. Once the vows have been exchanged, they cannot be broken. But nowadays, that seem to be not important anymore. They are just words said in front of the church but obviously it’s not followed.

The divorce rates worldwide are increasing. 50% of all married couples end up in divorce. If Philippines legalized divorce, for sure same rate will also happen. Half of the married couples in the Philippines will probably end up in divorce also.  Family is a basic unit of a happy and healthy society, if family keeps of getting divorced, then the whole country will certainly be affected.

The young generations today are quick to marry and that’s probably the reason why they are also quick to divorce. Most of the marriages fail because the couples feel that they are no longer good to live together or cannot run a family together. But remember, divorce breaks family. It is especially bad if there are children involved. Imagine yourself growing up without either a mother or father, it’s very hard.  They can be teased in school and whenever there are discussions about family, they will not be able to relate because they grew up without one parent. Both the mother and the father are important in raising children.

If a married couple are having problems with their relationship, divorce is NOT the solution; in fact, it will just give rise to another set of problems. For example, the very obvious problem of what will happen to your children? What will happen to their future? They will surely be heavily involved.

Marriage does not have to end in divorce. It is not the solution to the problems and instead it will just make things worst or complicated. One should not make decisions that will just make him or her regret. We all know that there’s no such thing as perfect relationship and that’s why all relationships have ups and downs but it doesn’t necessarily have to end in divorce. Maybe just a simple talk or communication can already solve the problem. The reason for most troubles and fights are misunderstanding because of the lack of communication of the two parties. By not having time to talk to each other, they will just begin to build walls which will eventually keep them apart in the future.

Divorce should be avoided by all married couples. It will just ruin the family relationship. If one parent did something wrong, the other one should know how to forgive. One reason why couples end up in a divorce is because they do not know how to forgive and give him or her another chance. Maybe through the forgiveness, they could still save their relationship and try it again. All married couples should always learn to try other solutions to their problems and not just yell “Divorce” when they’re mad or when they feel they can’t take it anymore. Divorce is just NOT the solution.
