Challenges in relationships are part of the journey, but there’s always a way to move forward. My own marriage had significant hurdles, but with the right help, my wife and I overcame them and grew stronger. With effort and cooperation, solutions can be found. Keep your hope—solutions are within reach.

Unfortunately, my parents divorced when I was 9, at that moment I was upset and felt lethargic. It was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had.
A few days ago, I’ve seen the news that Korean famous footballer divorced even though he has a daughter, which made me upset again.

As far as I know, he’s ex-wife was stay-at-home mom, she might have struggled in different countries

[tammytsang]

As a. Stay - at- home mom, I like to stick to my routines and clean up the house almost every day.

Some commons reason of divorce
1. Getting married very young
2. Differences between partners' background or interests
3. Economic or emotional reasons
4. Lack of communication
In many cases, it's due to the ongoing combination of these reasons.
I really like the idea of a 30 day cooling- off period for couples wanting to be separated by the Chinese government. It gives them to set aside some time to think seriously about their whole-life decision instead of impetuous for a moment and then feel sorry for the rest of their life

I have been married for 20 years. I remember a few years ago at English class divorce was the topic. As probably I was the only student who was married the teacher asked me what was important in a relationship to not fail, that day my answer was: maybe having bad memory could be good for this. I think the teacher is still laughing at 😂😂😂

[milly]

Thanks Georgie and Phil for once more an interesting topic. I'm glad that at least in Europe, and I guess in other countries in the world, governments don't intervene in private decisions like divorce or any other private matters. I think that we people might make mistakes when we choose our partners, but it's better that we decide what to do, when things don't work out.

[hamnayousuf]

good rule china..sometimes some distance makes one realise the importance of their partner

[mahed]

The tastes and attitudes of human beings during the process of life change a lot, so whenever they can not find something in common between eachother they try other ways and find someone else, so in this case the chance of having not only a long lasting relationship with your friends but also with your wife or husband can be 50_50 percentage successful.That's why divorce is something normal in human being relationship.

Useful vocab to speak on this topic! Thank you

there's no need to envy or get jealous when you see couples getting engage and are "happily" married on social media, because 5-10 years from now they will end up getting separated and divorced anyway.

Jeremy had a stay-at-home mum, but she changed her mind about it. Luckily for Jeremy's mum, the Jedi Order intervened and let Jeremy join the Jedi because that was Jeremy's dream job. That solved the unresolvable problem for Jeremy's mum, as she could then do whatever she wanted invariably! However, Jeremy discovered he didn't like the Jedi anymore after working for them for a few weeks. Jeremy then got mad at the Jedi for not letting him leave the Order. The Senate then intervened and gave Jeremy and the Jedi a one-month cooling-off period to decide what to do.

These days, I wonder if many people actually love their partners.
In my country, one in three couples gets divorced, cheating is common, and some even keep a “death note” diary, recording their partner’s decline.

I imagine that some people think less about “I deeply love this person, so I’ll marry them” and more like “I’ll marry them because we’re getting along right now, ” or “I should get married soon to have kids at the right age.”

For me, marriage shouldn’t be the ultimate goal, and it’s better to stay single than to marry with regrets. But I know many people still feel that marriage and children make the perfect life.

Why are you saving marriage system?Nowadays it is very common among couples of India(I am from Kerala- southern part)..under the patriarchy women have less voice so educated women being apart from this system..Those who have social and economical stability dont afraid of emotional control of society .Divorce is better than live without harmony..(Forgive me for my writing faults )
