"Married But Alone - Are You Going Through An Invisible Divorce?"

Saw this interesting subject in Her World at the newspaperstand and I decided to buy the magz to read about it.

I find this article very meaningful as it reflects the current trend of marriage.

1) Too Busy To Love
This is talking about couples living together and share the bills but lead separate lives, cohabiting more like a passionless housemates than loving life partners.

2) Together for Practically's sake
Couples now prefer a more pragmatic solution when things are falling apart as a divorce can be expensive. By staying together, they not only share the living costs, they also keep the money that could have gone to the lawyers. This also spares the children the trauma of seeing the parents split up. When the relationship is diminished to just mere shared assets and little affection, it is easy for a third party to come into the picture and affect the relationship.

My Thoughts
It is really not easy to keep a marriage alive and loving. Just a slight mistake or carelessness could cause your marriage to fail. Women tend to spend more time with their new-borns and neglect their husbands. When the wives want to spend time with their husbands, it was already too late as their husbands had already found "someone" to share their unhappiness and the "someone" was always by their side. Staying together is just a responsibility.

I HATE this word RESPONSIBILITY. I find it difficult and meaningless as marriage is for years and not a few days only. But it is really really very difficult to make decisions as women tend to be emotional and would always think for their children. They do not want their children to grow up in a broken family. BUT the children will grow up and have their own family, then what would happen to us, women?
