Whats Happening...

Various reasons ranging from complaints about infidelity, mistreatment and neglect, to even the over-performance of household chores by a spouse, there appears to be a disturbing presence of divorce cases.

When considered on a global scale, it would appear that more people are having difficulties remaining married, even though beautiful wedding ceremonies are put on display on a regular basis.


Interesting Case Study

One Nigerian case of divorce was particularly disturbing.

A husband had expressed his uncertainty about the paternity of a child that was delivered by his wife and alas, it had been the woman who filed for a divorce after the husband had said that he saw his wife with a former lover.

The husband had said expressed that the baby delivered by his wife did not bear a resemblance to him.

Also present at the court hearing was the man with whom the wife was said to have been having an affair and after confirming that he had indeed been having extra-marital relations with her as suspected, he went on to dare the woman's husband to harm her for having an affair with him.

The woman had filed for the divorce from her husband on the claim that he had threatened to stab her with a pair of scissors.

Moved by the depth of the case, the judge decried the moral decline which caused spouses to become chronically unfaithful to their partners, showing little remorse when confronted.

An Important Issue

It appears, really, as if people get married without fully understanding the expectations of their spouses, as well as the responsibilities required to sustain a life-long relationship with another human being.

Since the causes of divorce usually circle around emotional dissatisfaction, infidelity, ineffective communication and sometimes material inadequacy, as was among the complaints of the divorce-seeking wife in this case, then it will do a lot of good for couples and intending couples to deliberately evaluate each other's desires, and then agree on ways to achieve happiness together in marriage.

It is known that people can at times experience variances in preferences at any given time, thus leading to a disagreement, but when communicated and handled with cautiously, minding the other, it does not always have to result in marital catastrophe.
