Divorce seems to be the modern trend in relationships today. The whole world seems to have gotten on the bandwagon which is continuously being driven by divorces in show business.
The sanctity of marriage is being compromised and it has become a market for divorce-driven entities such as divorce lawyers.
Many people think that getting a divorce is the only way to get out of an unhappy relationship.
But as the great philosopher Aristotle has told us, "There is always a third option." For people who think that getting a divorce is equivalent to being happy, think again.
A recent study which was headed by Ms. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago revealed that divorced people are not necessarily happier.
Another more astounding fact which was revealed by the study is that 2/3 of the people who were unhappy with their marriages eventually said that they were happy in their marriages five years after.
Her team also found out that the majority of happily married couples had experienced extended periods of unhappiness in their relationships.
The difference is that they stayed with the relationship and found solutions to their problems.
Marriage is intended to bind the souls of two people together. It loses its sanctity in the whole context of divorce.
There are more ways than one to avoid divorce. Listed below are some useful tips that one can employ in attempting to save his/her marriage.
-Conversation is salvation
Most conflicts elevate to fights because of the lack of communication. Some couples only talk about errands and tasks.
Keeping an open line of communication will keep the openness in the marriage and prevent hidden feelings which can spur serious emotional injuries.
-No relationship is perfect
The basic principles of economics tell us that whenever we stick with something, we are always missing out on something.
Divorces are usually driven by infidelity and third-party incidences. Remember that no relationship is perfect.
Trouble between spouses is no excuse for infidelity, rather it should strengthen their relationship
-Seek help
If all else fails and you have tried to resolve the problem between the two of you, seek help.
There are professional marriage counselors who can help couples get back on the right track. There's no harm in asking for help.
Bear in mind that divorce has its repercussions, including huge financial setbacks. More importantly, it desecrates marriage and fully ends relationships.
In the end, if there's more than enough love to go around inside a home, divorce will never be a reality.
