Today, relationships are an average part of our lives all around us. We have relationships with our family, our colleagues, and even our neighbors. We rely on these relationships for many different aspects in our lives in order to make sure that our world is kept spinning. One relationship that affects individuals’ lives for “better or for worse” is that of their marriage. Today, in the United States there are two stipulations for a marriage: either it is blossoming and staying strong, or it is headed for divorce. However, do you actually understand what divorce actually is?

Divorce is the separation of a couple in a few aspects: socially, emotionally, and legally. When a couple is going through a divorce they are wanting to part ways from their relationship and with each other. Today, 1 in 3 married relationships within the United States comes face to face with divorce. Yet, how is this occurring? Many couples begin their relationships as their old selves who want to invest their time and commitment into another individual, and a relationship. However, as we all know our lives and schedules can become hectic, which impact us physically and emotionally. Over time, individuals easily make emotional or professional changes that not only impacts their lives, but also that of their spouse as well.
