Is Walking Away From Marriage Easier Today?

Is Walking Away From Marriage Easier Today?

Almost 50 percent of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce or separation. Let’s Understand Why

Deciding to end your marriage, without question is the most heart-breaking decision a couple could face.

Marriage does not necessarily keep two people tied together, it’s the love and friendship between them. Walking out of a relationship that you thought would end a lifetime and were willing to do anything to make it work is difficult but staying in an unhappy marriage could be worse.

There’s an increasing number of divorces all around the globe which was unheard of in the past centuries. Our parents and grandparents were united through marriages and they managed to be a happy throughout their lifetimes
