Initially, it was young people getting married in haste and getting divorced within a few years. Now the older couples have also caught up with the trend. Statistics reveal that the probability of divorce has increased among couple married for over 25 years or more. It leaves us with just one question: How can these couple who have stayed together through the happy and hard times of life for so many years suddenly find it difficult to live with each other? Life after Divorce We completely understand your situation. Life after divorce is never going to be the same. But, at least, it does not mean the end of the road. Having said that, let us analyse now the ways in which life is bound to change after divorce. Changing Religious Attitudes Attitudes towards divorce keep changing as society progresses. Today, divorce is not a rare phenomenon but a common incidence. The institution of marriage is no longer considered sacred and a bond tying down people. The perceptions of marriage have changed and, consequently, religious attitudes towards divorce have also been forced to change. Should You Keep Tolerating a Bad Marriage for the Sake of the Family? The most complicated problem to judge while thinking about ending a marital relationship is children. All parents love their children as much as they love each other. Hence, it is their welfare that first comes to their mind while discussing a break up. Growth of Divorce Rates Divorce rates are growing by leaps and bounds. This trend is not unique to UK alone which has earned the distinction of being termed the ‘divorce capital of Europe.’ Across continents, nations are witnessing a sudden spurt in marital breakdowns. Impulsive Divorce The last few decades had been an era of divorces. People first rushed headlong into marriage. If things failed to work out, they rushed out of it. Such couples who divorced impulsively failed to realise that marriage is synonymous with hard work. Both the marital partners have to put in extreme effort to sustain it through the years. Divorce and Children It is becoming commonplace to be divorced, with hundreds of marriages falling apart everyday. However, despite its increasing acceptability and a rise in leaps and bounds of people divorcing, it is painful and an emotionally draining experience. Even if the marriage had been terrible and the best thing was to break away, a divorce seems to loom over divorcees like a sense of failure and the emotional wounds take time to heal. How to Break the News to Your Small Children That You are Divorcing When a family stays together, they build a lot of hopes, dreams, and plans. To a child, his or her family becomes the most important aspect in the world. The family home becomes a protective nest that shields the child in tough times. Therefore, when the family falls apart, the child’s entire world falls apart. Divorce can be a tough time for children. Coping with the After-effects of Divorce After divorce, a mental churning takes place and you tend to go through many types of feelings. You may by turn feel angry, dejected, depressed, hurt, guilt-conscious, pitiful and anxious or uncertain about your future. This is because divorce is something that introduces profound changes in your life. Life with a Single Parent My mother divorced my father, an army man, when I was 12. Even today, after two long decades, I know not, why they had divorced. It was a distressing period and the only positive recollection I have, was the stoic handling of the situation by my mother. She never spoke about the divorce and made every effort to come to terms with reality. Dynamics of Single Motherhood Single motherhood - a bane or a boon is a question that is difficult to answer!

Many happily married couples are divorcing on the grounds of spousal ‘cyber infidelity’, a trend that’s been gaining ground over the last decade. Having an ‘online affair’ is often called a ‘safe affair’ for it rarely leads to a physical intimacy. The Unpleasantness of Divorce Divorce is often perceived as the end of misery and unhappiness.
