“I have no father, you have no mother”. This is a famous quote from the movie "The Parent Trap." Did you ever think your child would say something like that? That would be a really terrible situation for you. However, this situation occurs often and today divorce rates are continuously increasing. According to a forthcoming article published in The Journal of Economic Perspectives (Ampersand), the annual divorce rate in 1860 was close to 0%. In the 2000s, however, the annual rate was close to 20%. So what is the reason why so many people are divorced today? There are many reasons for divorce, especially; changes in women's roles in society, personality differences with spouses and lack of communication are the most common causes of divorce. First of all, in my opinion, the changing role of women in society is the clearest cause. In the past, women spent most of their time at home doing housework, taking care of their children and husband. Meanwhile, “the men put on their clothes and headed to the office.” (Thuong, 1) Because of these roles, women had to depend on men for everything. However, now women have reached the same position as men. “Women who have achieved great reputations in government, business, sports or the media have become a familiar sight today.” (National Resource Center) Because of these circumstances, women do not want to be tied to their husband and home. They want a free life and do what they want. Secondly, another reason for this problem is the personality difference with spouses. Before marriage, everyone really tries their best to agree with their partner because their lovers are not completely tied to them by law. After marriage, however, it is certain that their lovers will be completely tied. Therefore, they demand more things and expect too much from their wife or husband. They overlook that people are all different. When my mother first argued with my father after the wedding, she was very upset at first. However, he thought, “He is just an independent person.” After that he was able to understand my father and my father also tried to understand my mother. This is an exemplary solution whereby one cannot understand the difference in personality between spouses. King Solomon observed: “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” (Proverbs 27:17, NLT) Like this quote, it is important to try to narrow the differences.
