In America, there are many families going through divorce or being affected by divorce. There are several reasons as to why adults choose to divorce their spouse. Looking at the issue from a conflict theorists point of view, there are several contributing factors in both the male and female that go into a declining relationship. There are also many negative effects that divorce has on the family and their children because of those reasons. Bruce F. Dykeman, Marita p.

Divorce is a serious matter, whether it is proven to have affects on individuals or not, it is not something that people wish to endure. Bruce F. Dykeman, Marita p.
