Broken Marriages and Divorce: When Winning is Losing

Watching a couple at the People's Court, one of the prime time programs in the US televisions weakened the dispositions of the couple. From the look of an audience, the law will always favor the weak, especially the woman. Sometimes, the man is on the winning side.

It hurts to lose someone you love but the court will decide who's been favored to get most of the properties in the most argued alimony.

Well, the US culture will still show what's happening in the marriage life or its citizens. There are shows that have similar there, like the formidable Judge Judy and other copycats that continue to catch my attention as I watch it on cable television.

Truly, reality shows, like programs showing what is going on inside the court can teach us a thing or two: never get married, don't commit crimes and stay single.

Divorce is the most reasonable way to end a rocky marriage. Progressive nations. like the United States of America, allows married couple to separate ways due to reasons that they will argue in court. Although, children are affected, it's either the two are on the losing side as always.

Broken marriage means separation and division of the properties as well. The responsibility for the children, if ever they sired several, will be judged by the court as to whom the children custody will be given.

As if marriages in countries promoting divorce as like changing dirty clothes that can be tossed away in the washing machine for washing.

Now let's take a look at the outset of divorce status across the world.

When almost all the countries in the world embrace the laws on divorce, the Philippines is left behind not to adhere it although annulment is permitted by the church here.

Irreconcilable differences is the main reason why divorce proceedings will be started once one of the couple will file complaints at the local court.

As the statistics show, I've read that the divorce rate and marriages both decline for the last five years in the US, UK, Japan, South Africa and the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, the most reason cited here in the country is domestic violence that forced married women to separate from their husbands. The clincher of it all is the addiction of most husbands to alcohol and drugs.

So don't be surprised that abandoned children litter on the streets and wait at the orphanage or social welfare shelters waiting for an adoption to foster parents who can raise them as productive and educated individuals.

Why is divorce declining nowadays?

Possible reasons can be:

1. Sons and daughters of divorced parents don't like to experience such painful episode in their lives.
2. Staying single will never give you problems such as divorce.
3. Marriage has gone corrupt and it is now a legal thing, especially in countries advocating divorce.

It makes us sad to hear news on divorce that happened to our friends overseas. In some cases, it's time to reduce because some persons are so intolerable. It's better to stay single rather than be with that person for life.

Marriage is a very good option for reasons that you can procreate;have responsibility; have a a long-life partner and what you can call home.

Divorce is the last option when marriage went sour.

It's rather winning or losing at the end.

It's your choice. My choice.

It's a free world anyway.

"Sometimes in divorce, bystanders jump in and judge, escalating the conflict, as if divorce is some kind of spectator sport. But the "judgment" for each divorce belongs only to the two people divorcing. Each divorce -- just like each marriage -- is unique, with its own set of challenges and toxins. We are each responsible for maintaining our own health. Divorce is difficult. Wouldn't it be nice if bystanders would offer support instead of condemnation? That is especially helpful to the children."
