Why Marriages End In Divorce
Why do some marriages end in divorce? Section B There are many reasons why marriages end in divorces. The reasons are because of cheating, affairs, finance stresses, violence, unfaithfulness, lying, lack of trust or disagreements. If a couple was in a financial trouble then the man or the women may not want to live with them any more or may feel he or she is not trying to find or work or just being plain lazy and may not want to live without needs and wants. They might not want to suffer anymore and may want a divorce. The reason may be affairs because he or she might have been lying all that time and been having an affiar with some one else. That in one way showing that one of the couples if not good enough. The law can only separate people but you are breaking promises and leaving someone in a lurch (hole) like for example if the man leaves the women then the women's life wont be the same again and she may have to look after kids and look after money by her self. By having a divorce not only are you breaking gods promise but you are breaking to your family and friends. Also you are showing other people you are weak at marriage. You need legal requirements such as vows, witnesses and a register.

Christian and Muslim attitudes to Divorce Explain the attitudes towards divorce and remarriage in Christianity and Islam.
Christian and Muslim attitudes to Divorce A) Explain the attitudes towards divorce and remarriage in Christianity and Islam. In the Catholic Church once you are divorced you cannot be remarried, they believe that marriage is for life, so to remarry would be adultery, due to this in the Roman Catholic Church you may have an annulment, which is a declaration that the marriage never took place properly. It isn't a divorce, but only a cancellation of the marriage. However this can only take place if the couple have never had sex. If there is a Roman Catholic couple, which have both been baptized, marriage (a sacrament) can never be broken accept for * Lack of consent (forced marriage) * Lack of judgement (not fully knowing what marriage is about) * Inability to carry out marriage duties (mentally ill) * Lack of intention (impotence, the partner not wanting children) The day a couple get married is very important to Christians because they are about to start a new life with someone they think is very special. When they get married they take a vow at the ceremony to be together "till death do us part." Many Christians don't agree with divorce, they think that a couple, once married should spend the rest of their lives together because they made a vow in front of their God. Christians believe that divorce is not what God wants and should be avoided, however some
Discuss psychological insight into differences in relationships between Western and non-Western cultures (24m 1000w).
Jennifer Turner 13A Discuss psychological insight into differences in relationships between Western and non-Western cultures (24m 1000w) Most of the research on interpersonal attraction has been carried out in Western societies, especially the United Kingdom and United States. This limitation is very important as it argues that the behaviour and communication need to be understood within the context in which they occur, and this context considerably differs from one culture to another. Therefore we can readily accept that there are large differences in interpersonal relationships between cultures. Its quite easy to assume that what is true in our own culture about interpersonal attraction is likely to be true in other cultures as well. However, the factors influencing whether someone is seen as physically attractive can sometimes be by the current standards of the social group, which are considered sub-cultures. Anderson et al. studied the preference of female body size in 54 cultures. They divided these cultures the extent of the food supply ad the preferences for different body sizes were divided into heavy body, moderate body and slender body. Findings showed that in areas where there was a very unreliable food supply the male population preferred the heavy body size by 71% and in areas where food was very reliable the male population preferred the slender body by 40%.

Use a questionnaire on your findings (24) b) Discuss the causes of marital breakdown (21) c) "The Christian marriage vows are irrelevant today" Comment (15) Explore the views of young people on a marriage related issue. Use a questionnaire for your findings (24) I used a marriage questionnaire to question five teenage girls and five teenage boys on divorce. The results, which I obtained, were surprising to me and the answers from both sexes were extremely similar. I was surprised that 100% of the people I asked believed that marriage was a worthwhile step in a relationship. At such a young age, I felt that males would be likely to despise the idea of settling down faithfully to one girl but everyone of them agreed that spending their lives with the one person they loved was the best way. Each girl also agreed to marriage, which was what I had predicted, as the commercial wedding in magazines is a dream, which girls have. I asked the question "what are your thoughts on divorce?" to which I received, yet again, similar answers to. Both male and female agreed that divorce is wrong but should be acceptable in very extreme cases. The marriage vows: "to have and to hold from this day forward; for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; till death do
Explain how rituals and values connected with Christian marriage ceremonies might influence the differing ways that couples approach marriage and breakdown
Explain how rituals and values connected with Christian marriage ceremonies might influence the differing ways that couples approach marriage and breakdown Often in the Christian church people attend marriage preparation classes so they can go through what they would have to do in church. This is often useful because it can help to stop people suddenly deciding to run away because of pressure or stress. I think many of the vows connected with are often daunting because of the way they are said or written and this can put couples off getting married. For example 'till death do us part' could be seen as daunting because even if they want to leave each other they cannot because of these vows they took. So marriage classes can be useful to the way couples approach marriage. The rituals and values that are associated with marriage could influence the way couples think about marriage, as they will think of it as something special and will prepare for it very well because they want it to go perfect. Also the fact that the ring is supposed to be an unbroken circle of love between the couple, this can also make them change their attitude towards the break up of their marriage this is because the ring also reminds them of their vows which they are supposed to stick by until they die. If a person gets married in a registry office, then it will affect how seriously they perceive
Why divorce rate has increased
Why divorce rate has increased Until the 1960s, divorce has been a relatively rare phenomenon. Certainly there have always been some couples who have considered divorce an option. But fundamental changes in our society in the last few decades have changed divorce from being rare to routine. During the 1970s, the divorce rate doubled (and the number of divorces tripled from 400,000 in 1962 to 1.2 million in 1981).(2) The increase in the divorce rate came not from older couples but from the baby boom generation. One sociologist calculated that while men and women in their twenties comprised only about 20 percent of the population, they contributed 60 percent of the growth in the divorce rate in the 1960s and early 1970s.(3) This increase was due to at least two major factors: attitude and opportunity. The baby boom generation's attitude toward such issues as fidelity, chastity, and commitment were strikingly different from their parents'. Their parents would stay in a marriage in order to make it work. Baby boomers, however, were less committed to the ideal of marriage and quite willing to end what they felt was a bad marriage and move on with their lives. While their parents might keep a marriage going "for the sake of the kids," the baby boom generation as a whole was much less concerned about such issues. Economic opportunities also seem to be a significant factor in
Why do many marriages in Wales end in divorce and why do some Christian churches oppose divorce?
Divorce Why do many marriages in Wales end in divorce and why do some Christian churches oppose divorce? Why do some marriages in Wales end in divorce? It could be for a number of reasons. Adultery, working long hours, financial difficulties, children, a partner suffers an illness or maybe the couple just got married to young. However, the most important and most worrying fact of all is that one in three marrages now end in divorce. Family life in the UK is changing. One of the most important changes in the past 30 years has been the growth in single parent (or lone parent) families. This is partly due to more children now being born outside marriage. There used to be two basic types of family that society and the Christian church considered ideal- the nuclear family and the extended family. A nuclear family consists of parents and family. An extended family is where three or more generations live together or as close neighbours. In reality, families can have very different structures e.g. single parent families and reconstituted families (where divorcees remarry or find new partners) Divorce is often a complicated and messy process, and throws up many pitfalls. Such thorny issues as whether to sell your home, which parent will look after your children, and how it will affect any loans you may have, will all have to be resolved. If, as in the vast majority of
Explain the Teaching of the Catholic Church regarding Marriage, Divorce and Annulment
Explain the Teaching of the Catholic Church regarding Marriage, Divorce and Annulment In the eyes of Roman Catholics, marriage is seen as an ideal- a complete commitment between two people for the rest of their lives. Although Catholics do not expect their married lives to be endlessly happy and free from troubles, they are determined that marriage should be given a chance to work with both couples making an active contribution to the union. The start of every marriage should be love, and therefore a couple need to be attracted to each other in order for their marriage to last, and in order for this to happen the couple must find each others personality attractive and the couple must respect and value each other whilst holding a deep affection for one another. Marriage in the eyes of God is highly important, with Jesus performing the miracle at the wedding of Cana, to produce more wine so that the couple were not embarrassed. The fact that Jesus performed this miracle demonstrated that Jesus wished the couple to enjoy their wedding day, and so marriage is highly important. However, it must be noted that not all marriages are free from hardship, and through a number of reasons a couple may decide to end their marriage legally and in the eyes of God, however the Catholic church has various guidelines about how this can and cannot happen, which is the subject of this essay.
The roles of men and women within the Christian family.
Topic 6 - Religion and Human relationships. The roles of men and women within the Christian family. There are various different views about the authority of a man or a woman in a Christian family; some say that the male is the more important and that the female is his helper, some believe that both men and women are equal, and that the responsibilities are shared between them. Certainly in everyday life men and women are equal theoretically, but in practice men are better at things women are not, women are better at things men are not so good at, men are naturally stronger and more able in most cases, for instance. The view that 'men are better than women', is accepted very widely by most men, simply because it comes naturally, some have been taught , by the bible, that women were created as mans helper, Eve was created to be 'Adam's helper'. This view was much more strongly upheld until the time of the suffragettes, when women were accepted more into society and allowed to do things previously out of their reach. The bible gives another example of women being worse than men, with that of Eve being tempted by the snake in the Garden of Eden, indicating that she was the worse person. This story shows that women are 'weaker than men' and should not have the responsibilities men have. The bible gives one more expressive view on the matter, in Peter 3:1 where it says
