Divorce

After reading Chapter 16 I learned a lot about divorce and some of the statistics that go along with it. One thing I learned was that there are long-term negative affects of divorce on children. I always knew this was somewhat true but the fact that it is proven is really crazy to me. It is just a reminder of how much we look up to our parents and the example they give to us. I know a lot of people that have had their parents get divorced and be just fine, until they get into a relationship. I think this is one of the biggest affects that people have when they have had a divorce in their family. A lot of times I see a lack of commitment and sometimes girls especially tend to always want to have a boyfriend for that security. These are all things that can really cause issues in their future relationships. It also makes me wonder if their parents would have stayed together if they would have the same issues. Would it be better to get divorced or stay together and fight all of the time? It is really a question to consider because both could have extremely negative affects. It makes me really want to me sure about the person I marry and be careful of how I treat my spouse in front of my children.
