Conslusion

It is obvious that divorce has its shortcomings, as it is clear it has a negative impact on the economic well-being of a family. It can also influence negatively the partners’ emotional and psychological well-being, although in many cases escaping from the constant clashes is a relief for ex-spouses. The effect of divorce on children can be negative as well as positive. It fully depends on the situation the parents were in and whether by getting a divorce they try to escape minor problems they don’t want to deal with or if the couple is experiencing major problems that truly have no solution other than divorce. It is questionable whether divorce boosts one’s self-esteem and encourages self-growth, as some examples prove it and others prove the opposite. It is clear that in cases of verbal or physical abuse divorce can be the only way out. And it seems that in families where both spouses feel unhappy, divorce can be the only reasonable solution.

Personal View

To me, the whole idea of proving that divorce is morally wrong does not really stand. Firstly, you can’t really debate a motion of something being “morally wrong”, as both words have a subjective modal meaning attached to them. Should marriage be preserved at all costs? I really doubt it, especially the “all costs” part. I have to agree that some people can be too hectic about getting a divorce, undermining the negative impact it may have on the children and the spouses themselves. If the problems the couple is going through can be solved, they definitely need to give it another try. But in real life, most people don’t get divorced because of minor issues. In cases of domestic violence and even spouses being unhappy with their marriage, a divorce is often the only option. In such situations, it has more positive effects: the children don’t feel the pressure of their parents’ constant conflict, and the spouses themselves get a chance of leading a happier life.
