Marriages are known to be a lifetime commitment towards love & caring among
people. However most marriages these days seem to be failing due to the increasing
number of problems with the modern world. When these marriages end, the effects can
be devastating.
Why do people get married? Well it is a known tradition in humanity that a
woman and man will come together and live their lives as one. The most important
element that seems to have disappeared is love. Not just any love, but true, deep feeling
love. To keep a relationship clear, the love itself should be clear, not artificially placed. If
there is no well defined understanding of love, then is should obviously not be a
marriage. In some traditions, they have what is known as an arranged marriage. This is
the process where love is somewhat "forced" to exist between 2 people.
The usual process goes like this: two people meet, find out if they are compatible
or not, then engage themselves for marriage. This is a typical procedure but why should
they rush into it if they are not aware of the affects that would arise if the marriage were
to break apart? The causes of failing marriages can range from a small dispute over a $10
credit card bill to a serious case of adultery.
Sometimes everything could be on the right track until someone has to cause a
slight problem. These problems accumulate and can make a disaster of what was
supposed to be a lifetime commitment. A husband's hormones may have been a little too
active with his secretary at work, that one night at the office, he has sex with her. A wife
can equally commit this form of adultery. Adultery is one of the most popular reasons for
most divorces to occur, and it usually has the worst outcome as well. These include
physical and verbal fights, splitting of family including children, law suites, and much
more.
