"Till death do us part" or "For better, for worse" are some of the strong statements made as concerning marriage between couples then. But it seems like the trend has changed even as we see and experience increase in the number of divorce nowadays. Marriage is indeed sweet even life is spent together with the right partner, however, no matter the level of preparedness towards it, it didn't exempt each couples from the various challenges that may arise although may equip one for a better response and management towards it. Divorce i believe is on the increase nowadays because of lack of understanding of what marriage is, unmet expectations, immaturity, unresolved differences, pressures either internal or external, conception challenge, abuse etc.

The impact of divorce is far beyond the divorced parents only, it extends to the children affected by that separation. Family as known is the basic unit of the society which inturns culminate to a nation. However, threats on marriages like divorce affects the quality of life the family involved both parents and siblings will live thereafter. For example, divorce can be a dent on the families involved both nuclear and extended. Also, there maybe stagmatisation or trauma involved especially on the part of the children. I will like to say that both parents and children involved will be negatively impacted by divorce though to varying degrees.

Therefore, I won't like to set a dichotomy between what the parents and what the children may face as a result of divorce because I believe the alarming rate of divorce nowadays should be a matter of serious concern and a major threat to national peace and unity if viewed holistically. Let just imagine what becomes of such children later in life or what becomes of the life of the seperated parents sooner or later. Both the mental stress the divorced parents can developed and the trauma the children from such home may face can be abated if we go back to the drawing line by retracing our steps to where we got it wrong as individuals and as a families.

I believe a major panacea to the issue of divorce is the proper understanding of what love is and restoring the virtues of tolerance, patience, love, fidelity, good morals and such like which is fast eroding now in this contemporary time. Divorce is a choice and we can have more happy and blissful marriages/families as so desired by couples. If we ever in our widest imagination consider the risk-benefit of what divorce is or can facilitate, i believe we will definitely go for not experiencing it as it takes divine intervention and alot of rehabilitation for such affected parents either parents or children to believe and find love again or appreciate family life again.

In all, both parents and children are negatively impacted alike as regards divorce which i believe should be greatly discouraged even as we go back to the drawing board and retrace our steps from where we may have missed it. Thanks so much for reading even as comments and contributions are welcomed.

Everyone definitely loses out when divorce occurs. Unfortunately, children are more affected in my opinion, and the younger they are, the greater the trauma of having to deal with it.
