When two people fall in love and want to live forever with each other, they get married. However, sometimes, life after marriage is not like they imagine. They have many problems, so they don’t want to maintain this relationship. That is called divorce.

Some people think that getting married with rich people is a wonderful opportunity to change their lives. It is not too difficult to see a young woman who gets married with a rich man who is even older than her parents to have a way to come to the U.S. I don’t object to a person wanting to have more money, but I think getting married because of this is not a smart option. Another wrong reason to get married is running out of time. In Vietnam, if a person is older than thirty years old and still single, the others think that something is wrong with him or her. Because of this, many single people feel nervous and scared. They want to get married with others although they don’t fall in love with them because they are running out of time and getting older. Also, in some cases, women get married because they are pregnant before marriage. It makes the others think that they are not good women, so people don’t want their sons to get married with them. Thus, these women want to get married with anyone as soon as possible. In short, these reasons are not right to get married, and they do not really love each other, so these marriages may not last. That is why the divorce rate increases in
There are two major types of marriages in the world, arranged and love marriages. An arranged marriage is when a partner for one of the individuals is chosen by their family, and no love is usually involved. A love marriage on the other hand is when two individuals choose to marry each other because of the love they share for each other. A successful marriage is when both individuals can love, care, trust, and are happy with each other even through the ups and downs.

Former President Ronald Reagan’s no-fault divorce bill, which was signed in the year 1969, was one of the reasons why the divorce rate increased. Back then, in order to proceed with a divorce one must present the spouses wrong-doing. Today, because of the no-fault divorce, gives the spouse the opportunity to depart from marriage for no reason at all.
The biggest theme of The Great Divorce is salvation; more specifically, ensuring one’s immortal soul reaches Heaven and not Hell through the exercising correct moral choices in life and the practice of forgiving others and seeking forgiveness for your own sins. For Lewis, Heaven and Hell are not metaphoric or ideas, they are real places. In the book, Lewis develops this by having other related themes that affect salvation like, vanity vs. pride, love, the value of ideologies, faith vs. skepticism, jealousy, anger, and forgiveness.
Marriage is a tie that people try to hold onto forever by putting in the effort to change themselves to have a balance in the relationship and to satisfy each other but eventually, that tie breaks, and only you are left to think about what could've been. Marriage is a dead end filled with nothing but yourself at the end, wrapped in a blanket of comfort and support that tricks you into thinking it going to be great forever.

People want to get married because they are ready to take the relationship to a higher level of responsibility and commitment. The satirical argument made throughout the video is that one’s freedom is being compromised and ties, especially with the family are ruined once marriage gets in the picture. The video satirically highlights how individuals will not want to marry because of the huge commitments and responsibilities involved. This is ironic because, when it is decided that the goal of a relationship is marriage, it shows that the couple is ready to commit and love each other unconditionally.
The conflict theory’s focus on divorce inspects the imbalance and power dynamics that are held within a society that can trickle down to individuals and their marital relationships. A society that is constantly in a state of battling and oppressing for distribution of limited resources plays a role in each and every divorce. Divorces are offered at a costly price, and the distributions of the assets between the two can often cause even more strife among couples feeling deeply saddened and/or resentful. Unrealistic expectations as well as underlying unresolved issues in individuals also play a role in divorces. America’s divorce rate averages about forty to fifty percent and subsequent marriages have even higher rates of separation.
