2. Many marriages end in divorce, often because love has failed. What are the causes of this failure?
Couples get married to live happily ever after with their partners for the rest of their lives. Nevertheless, in reality there aren't only bright sides of marriage and I believe that's why the quote 'marriage is real' exists. When couples get married, a whole new life stars. Even if they have known each other for a long time, living together makes a difference. Therefore, lack of consideration and too much fantasies may lead to frequent fights making them both tired. Which I think is the main cause of marriage failure.
To begin with, different values on marriage may lead to divorce. And this may happen more often in nowadays since people's attitudes have changed throughout time. Traditionally, women took full responsible on housework. But in modern society, as many women have their own careers they do not like nor have time to take complete care on household chores. Thus, if there is a husband who wants his wife to quit her job while she doesn't would make a trouble. Because this is a major factor that couples should make an agreement on, since it is a part of the future of their marriage. Hence, when a couple do not yield nor make an agreement on these issues, it may be hard to continue their relationship.
Secondly unrealistic dreams on marriage could be the cause of failures. Couples might have thought marriage only full of passion and pleasure due to the happy ending romance movies. However in reality as people enter marriage they face various difficulties. There could be money problems and they may argue often over minor things forming a feeling of distance from their fantasies. Also, when their dreams are too big, they feel a sense that their marriage is unhappy unlike others and end the marriage rather than trying to overcome the obstacles.
Nowadays divorce is accepted to the society and people than before. Therefore in my opinion, it is preferable to separate with each other rather than living with the person that does not fit anymore which only have troubles when they spend time with.
Hi. I am Christina Woo from you class!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I have enjoyed reading your writing. Your opinion about marriage and divorce was realistic.
Your idea was clear, but it would have been more complete if you mentioned about the body part in the introduction.
As it has intro, body, and conclusion, the organization seems good.
I agreed with the second paragraph where you mentioned about the role of women in the past and in the modern society. Reading your writing made me think about the topic more deeply.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hi! I am Minjeong Lee from your class!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your essay. I agree on two of points you mentioned in the passage. Your idea is realistic, and fits a lot of examples of marriage I know.
I also liked your essay that your essay carries the introduction part, body part, and the conclusion part.
However, I think it would be greater essay if you conclude your ideas on body part in the conclusion passage. Anyway, I really liked reading yours!
Thank you for sharing your essay.
