Marriage, like other social instructions, is showing the strains of modern life. While more Americans are getting married today than ever before, the divorce(离婚) rate is also on the rise (one divorce for every three marriages last year). Why should this be so, and what can we do to change this?
|
For most women, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the supermarket are easy to shop and cook. Household appliances(电器) like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do. Released from the housework, many wives have found jobs outside the home.
|
Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not a habit for parents to live with their married children. For example, the parents retire to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, go wherever their jobs or their interests take them.
|
Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up “bachelor(单身)” apartment. This is the time of women’s liberation(解放).
|
But all this freedom has had an unforeseen effect on marriage. Men and women, no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance, find it harder to accept the responsibilities or the misunderstandings of married life. When happiness becomes less, many couples decide to stop their marriage through divorce.
