Most of us can agree that weddings start of with a good note where partners try their best to accomodate and understand one another. The relationship is blissful except for some snags along the way, resulting in arguments which rather common. Then again, the real test of marriage would be the test of time. In this test, a person's true colours are revealed and it might not be long before both parties realise that their spouse might not be as ideal as conceived previously.When emotions, disagreements reach a breaking point, a divorce could be the last straw.

But these are minor problems that exists in society which might not attribute to the alarming divorce rates that many countries are facing now.So who are the real culprits you may ask? Therefore, what threatens marriage would be :1) Higher cost of living due to rapid globalisation. Families find it difficult to support a child's education. It is estimated that a university education would require at least $50,000 and the numbers will continue to rise.It is thus not surprising that many would opt out of marriage when faced with such a financial burden or choose not to have children instead.

2)Greater focus of personal choices.
There is a greater number of individuals hoping to pursue their own goals rather than being tied down by family.So there may be a disparate opinions among couples on the distribution of family responsibilities such as : who should be looking after the child's welfare.

Solution: The current problems call for greater consultation among couples , to work out the disagreements and come to a consensus.Nowadays, it is common to find fathers taking up maternal roles , no more the women's obligations to raise children.Otherwise, it could be a shared responsibility between the couple.
