Marriges are a little more tricky when it comes to relationship troubles. Not only is there the joint household thing, but there is also the legal binding that tends to complicate things.
So while it’s not easy to work out relationship troubles, it’s a good deal more difficult when the two people who need to get along are living in the same house, sleeping in the same bed. On a plus note, legally being bound together causes a bit more openess to the prospect of talking things out than those couples who are not bound by law.
Where it gets really tricky is when children are involved. No parents want to fight in front of the kids, and sometimes those fights are crucial when working out differences. Tempers flare, and those items which are bothering one partner or the other come spilling out. Obviously that is not the most effective means of working out the differences, but it is worlds more effective than keeping them bottled up inside.
Divorce rates are thankfully on a downturn at the time of this writing, unfortunately it isn’t due to the awakening conciousness of the world and people getting along. It has to do with the economy. Money troubles are a key point that married couples fight over. At this point in time money problems are at a peak, but due to said financial issues, couples are forced to stay together since living alone can be expensive, especially if one or both are out of work.
When the economy rolls back up the divorce rates will in turn increase once again, unless those couples can iron out the bumps in their relationships, and recapture the love they held for each other when they were first married.
