Contrary to what men think, women in the American society try their best to save their marriages. The fault lies in the very nature of the average American husband that, leads to divorce.
Adultery: The Betrayal
Statistically, the American husband is more prone to having extra marital violations in comparison to the American wife. No amount of love can ever compensate the pain and anguish the wife has suffered in order to accept the betrayal. No mother likes to see her child grow up and be parented by just one partner. Most mothers swallow their agony and move on with the marriage, only to be deceived once too often and find themselves in the same predicament. Many succumb to the first adventure but don’t afterwards.
Divorce solves the problem of the extra marital adventures of the spouse and adultery becomes the ground for divorce.
Non Functioning Relationships
Most American couples are unable to resolve their issues due the break down of communications. We live fairly fast and highly active lives, which are quite demanding and pressure oriented. Many couples don’t have the time to sit together and understand each other. This also makes it hard for one spouse to compromise with an issue that the other spouse has a problem with. The lack of time means that we can’t devote as much time to marriage as we should. As the norm of the day and age we live in we accept this but, when a serious issue arises couples are unable to communicate and brush away the problem.
Domestic Violence and Cruel Treatment
Pressure taken at work finds an outlet at home. Many husbands abuse their wives with cruel treatment. Habitual alcoholism could be attributed to be as a cause or the main reason behind domestic violence. A number of wives also find themselves forced to perform acts in bed that they don’t really desire or appreciate. All these flaws affect the relationship of the couple as a consequence the wife seeks a divorce.
Root Cause
There are many grounds for divorce such as desertion, adultery, cruel treatment, imprisonment, habitual alcoholism. The root cause behind women seeking divorce is victimization, alienation and the lack of respect from their husbands. The accommodating and respectful husband wouldn’t give his wife the chance to seek a divorce.
