Relationship Breakdown
In England and Wales about 150,000 marriages each year end in divorce.
For earlier generations the role of women in marriage was clearly defined and
each knew what was expected of them. If each partner lived up to those expectations,
there was a reasonably good chance that the marriage would last. But on-going
development of technology, the expanding role of woman in society and increasing
life expectancy have brought about a significant change in these traditional
roles. Today marriages depend more on communication, intimacy, negotiation and
understanding.
Many marriages go through a bad patch. If you are experiencing difficulties
with your own marriage, it's a good idea to obtain professional advice.
