It makes us wonder if making divorce a legal destroys the family institution as a unit. It is our general understanding that the purpose of marriage is to build a social institution, the basic core of us as a society.
Divorce ruins everything, right? That is an easy realization if you are outside the marriage in question. If we put ourselves on troubled couples’ shoes, we realize that there are emotions involved. Each has the ideal relationship that goes on after marriage. You dream of him as your one and only husband for the rest of your life. Buy a big house with white picket fences and have two children.
All of a sudden everything falls apart. You realized you don’t know your partner as well as you thought you did. Who knows what’s going through his/her head? Misunderstanding became arguments, suddenly you are hurting each other and it came to a point where you can’t take it anymore. Couples should understand that after divorce the family unit has not been ruined totally. Your children still has their father or mother but they are not together during dinner time. Parents can still have interaction through school events. Now you consider the event more important than creating drama between the two of you. You have your friends and he/she has his/her own now. The unit is there but considers it different from before. Through time issues will pass. A new unit family unit has been build; one where the future of the children are more important.
