Marriage and Divorce

I just found out that one more of my friends is added into the divorce list. Marriage is quite different now compare to our parents and grandparents period. Last time, it will bring shame and embarrassment to the family if anyone of the family members is divorced. Neighbours, friends, colleagues, society will pre-judged a divorce with negative view points. It's sentence to death without a trial. I have heard that children of single mothers were not spare too. They were teased in school and look down upon. However, in some cases, a divorce is the only way out from a broken marriage. Abusive husband was the main reason. These women were very brave to walk out of this kind of marriage for the safety of the children and their own. They were even braver to single-handed brought up their children.

Nowadays, society is more open and acceptable to divorce. Women and men alike, tends to choose divorce when the marriage fails. I don't mean one should divorce when husband and wife quarrel. All marriages have quarrels and difference. But when understanding, co-existance, tolerance, love, trust, dissappeared, there's no point staying in a marriage. Yes, children will be the victim but in some cases, it is unavoidable.

We are living in a society where men and women are more knowledgeable on their personal rights and fulfilment. When we are in love, we get married. When we have differences, we seek marriage counselling. When all atempts fail, divorce is the only solution. In fact, it's not the end of the world when once divorce. We can still find love as long as we open our eyes and heart.
