THE DIVORCE RATE

THE DIVORCE RATE

It is believed that divorce rates are slowly decreasing. Compared to the year 1990 to 2016 where divorced rates reached then at approximately seventy percent to now where divorce rates are lower. I can only assume that the feminist move from 1970 took a big role when women were accepted in the work force. With that they started to acquire rights, so women started gaining a place in society with the new modern life. Women started to work and did not to stay at home creating a better future. Women started to share equally the house work and all duties performed by women. Women and men are older when they get married on this days. Therefore it has been proven that age takes a big role in getting married because the older the couples are the more stable, prepared and more mature. The less chance of divorcing they have. The top reason that marriages end up in divorce can be attributed to lack of education and also that the couples are too young.

These are just some ideas of people that are married need to accomplish in order to have a successful marriage. Researchers call them “tasks”.

-          Separate emotionally from the family you grew up in; not to the point of estrangement, but enough so that your identity is separate from that of your parents and siblings.

-          Build togetherness based on a shared intimacy and identity, while at the same time set boundaries to protect each partner's autonomy.

-           Establish a rich and pleasurable sexual relationship and protect it from the intrusions of the workplace and family obligations.

-          For couples with children, embrace the daunting roles of parenthood and absorb the impact of a baby's entrance into the marriage.

-          Learn to continue the work of protecting the privacy of you and your spouse as a couple. Confront and master the inevitable crises of life.

-          Maintain the strength of the marital bond in the face of adversity. The marriage should be a safe haven in which partners are able to express their differences, anger and conflict.

-          Use humor and laughter to keep things in perspective and to avoid boredom and isolation. Nurture and comfort each other, satisfying each partner's needs for dependency and offering continuing encouragement and support.

-          Keep alive the early romantic, idealized images of falling in love, while facing the sober realities of the changes wrought by time.

In conclusion the more educated people are the less chance of divorce. Also the older you are the better results of matureness for the marriage.
