DIVORCE: It Starts From Sleeping Apart

DIVORCE: It Starts From Sleeping Apart

Divorce (or the dissolution of marriage) is the termination of a marital union, the canceling of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage and the dissolving of the bonds of matrimony between married couples.[1] According to ultimate reference suite 2012, divorce is the act by which a valid marriage is dissolved, usually freeing the parties to remarry. In regions in which ancient religious authority still predominates, divorce may be difficult and rare, especially when, as among Roman Catholics and Hindus, the religious tradition views marriage as indissoluble.[2] To me DIV-ORCE is a combination of two root words, DIVide and fORCE… simply put, divorce means divide by force. Mathematically:

Divorce: 2 word = 1

Div: - from DIVide

orce: - from fORCE

Altogether divorce = divide by force

But actually divorce doesn’t happen just like that, it happens gradually which could be averted or curb if and when early diagnosis is available, the absence of which could be terminal to the life of the marriage.

DIVORCE BY INSTALLMENT is what I called what people know as separation. Separation in law is a mutual agreement by a husband and a wife to discontinue living together. A legal separation does not dissolve the marriage contract but merely adjusts the couple's obligations under it in the light of their desire to live separately. Practically, however, separation is often a prelude to divorce. Such agreements usually contain provisions on the care and support of children if there is any.

But I see Separation as when the signs of divorce are popping up, but the couples decided to do nothing as team to stop it, but are hoping something does for them… may be an act of God! And sincerely separation doesn’t start in the lawyer’s office, it stat when couples decide to have separate rooms. No matter the reason it has the seed of someone craving privacy from the other!

What are the signs of divorce? One over ruling all others is Breakdown in meaningful, successful, quality communication. Many things can lead to this but when there is began the gradual, steady o unsteady decline in the quality of what is being communicated, then that is a time bomb… a disaster waiting to happen!

Watch out you might be going down there!
