In the failure of marriage, most couples nowadays prefer to have a divorce or annulment. For them, separation is a lot easier than forcing a relationship to work. However, the consequences of divorce appear to have greater impacts on children and not just on the couple. The custody of the children is usually brought into court settlements to determine which party, whether the mother’s or the father’s, qualifies for custody. In this regard, lawyers require help from mental health experts who would
Marriage is A Choice When a couple decides to sign the divorce papers, they should consider the consequences that may affect their children afterwards. Having parents who stayed married has impacted my life tremendously, and I will forever be grateful to live my life with parents who did not give up on each other, no matter what life threw at them. Marriage is the union of two people who are willing to vow to spend the rest of their lives together, but sometimes things do not always go as planned
Divorce is the legal or religious dissolution of marriage by agreement between the members of a couple or for violation of any of the rights or obligations of marriage. Historically, the decision to divorce was frowned upon by society because for many, marriage was a union that should last a lifetime.

I married him because I loved him. I divorced him because I love myself more. Divorce is such an ugly thing. It’s pretty simple right?

Marriage is a topic that throws me off. As a child, I always wanted that Cinderella story to find my Prince Charming. I grew up listening to my parents fight on a daily basis over finical issues, unhappiness, and parenting aspects. My parents were married; they were married for 22 years until my mom finally left my father.
