How To Decrease Divorce Rates

Why Marry If You're Bound To Get Divorced?
Forbes

I personally do not believe that there are "set in stone" reasons behind getting a divorce. People can get divorced for a million different reasons. Some of them being extremely ridiculous such as their partner simply getting on their nerves because of something small like, forgetting to put the toilet seat down. However, the "reasons" can vary from small to large. While there are not set in stone reasons behind divorce there are still the typical commonly discussed reasons such as: emotional/physical/mental abuse, loss of feelings, cheating spouses, occurrence of a tragic event and of course many more.

So many people are divorcing now-a-days because everyone is jumping straight into marriage right after high school. This makes it so you never actually get to spend time 100% with yourself. Your brain isn’t fully developed until you are 25 so you don’t truly even know who you are, yet alone know who you want to spend your entire life with. Most, but not all marriages that happen right after high school result in people realizing they want to experience life alone as they get into their adult ages. I believe once they realize all the things they can no longer do they begin to resent their partners which regularly winds up in a messy divorce.

While it may just be a matter of opinion, but many people are divorcing because of how early everyone is getting married. Marriage should not be something that is rushed, if you are going to spend your entire life with somebody you need to know everything important about that person. Are they clean/dirty? What do they eat? Do they want a family? Where do they prefer to live? Things like these are normally written off without thought but are soon learned to be extremely important. I believe that if people were to wait until they graduate college or are financially stable and able to fend for themselves first: divorce rates would decrease immensely.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
