Some commons reason of divorce 1. Getting married very young 2. Differences between partners' background or interests 3. Economic or emotional reasons 4. Lack of communication In many cases, it's due to the ongoing combination of these reasons. I really like the idea of a 30 day cooling- off period for couples wanting to be separated by the Chinese government. It gives them to set aside some time to think seriously about their whole-life decision instead of impetuous for a moment and then feel sorry for the rest of their life

Unfortunately, my parents divorced when I was 9, at that moment I was upset and felt lethargic. It was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. A few days ago, I’ve seen the news that Korean famous footballer divorced even though he has a daughter, which made me upset again. As far as I know, he’s ex-wife was stay-at-home mom, she might have struggled in different countries

Thanks Georgie and Phil for once more an interesting topic. I'm glad that at least in Europe, and I guess in other countries in the world, governments don't intervene in private decisions like divorce or any other private matters. I think that we people might make mistakes when we choose our partners, but it's better that we decide what to do, when things don't work out.

4:39 what's the difference between non and just not? Or are they the same?

[@bbclearningenglish]

👍 Good question. 'non' is a prefix, which we can attach to some words to mean 'not'. It can't be used on its own though!

[@sfvfdfaaads]

Here is the comment from that country mentioned in this video. We do have the cooling-off period, which originally aimed to curtail the high divorce rate but culminated in failure. people complain that they are gonna wait a longer time for a divorce after the relationship breaks up and things will get worse if the reason for divorce is home violence. because the suffer would possibly suffer more threats and abuse if their partner is reluctant to agree to the divorce. the fact is nothing can be done to avoid this situation at this period.

Jeremy had a stay-at-home mum, but she changed her mind about it. Luckily for Jeremy's mum, the Jedi Order intervened and let Jeremy join the Jedi because that was Jeremy's dream job. That solved the unresolvable problem for Jeremy's mum, as she could then do whatever she wanted invariably! However, Jeremy discovered he didn't like the Jedi anymore after working for them for a few weeks. Jeremy then got mad at the Jedi for not letting him leave the Order. The Senate then intervened and gave Jeremy and the Jedi a one-month cooling-off period to decide what to do.

These days, I wonder if many people actually love their partners. In my country, one in three couples gets divorced, cheating is common, and some even keep a “death note” diary, recording their partner’s decline. I imagine that some people think less about “I deeply love this person, so I’ll marry them” and more like “I’ll marry them because we’re getting along right now,” or “I should get married soon to have kids at the right age.” For me, marriage shouldn’t be the ultimate goal, and it’s better to stay single than to marry with regrets. But I know many people still feel that marriage and children make the perfect life.

[@더일구칠오]

Some people regard marriage as business. For example, the more they get old, the more they want economic security of partner and there is little purity

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 👍 Your writing is excellent.

What would come about when couples are about adult or even middle of 18 might be in between 17 in some terms how early alliance is good whether toxic? It's reliable to be knotted in 18s whether get married in 30s is legally good or personally satisfying, please BBC i wish for clarity and wanna precise reply!

[@bbclearningenglish]

We're sorry but we didn't understand the question. 😊 Could you rephrase it slightly?

[@MuhammadRamzan-iz1sl]

@@bbclearningenglish sorry for incoherence I wanted to go prompt reply but if you didn't get my point then I pardon, actually my question was about wedding in early 18s what are the pros and cons of early alliance ( wedding, marriage) also explain the late marriage between two people, I mean in 30s.

Hello this video is level b

Why are you saving marriage system?Nowadays it is very common among couples of India(I am from Kerala- southern part)..under the patriarchy women have less voice so educated women being apart from this system..Those who have social and economical stability dont afraid of emotional control of society .Divorce is better than live without harmony..(Forgive me for my writing faults )

[@indiegente99]

Mostly because of the lack of money.

[@ricardoruaa]

maybe, but depend on the context too

[@farhiayusuf2424]

I think the divorce rate in my country is rasing day by day. There are a lot of young couples divorcing in the first or second year of their marriage. There are also a lot of old couples that divorce . In my opinion. The cause of these are . Arranged marriage . Financial crisis . Cheating in marriage. . In-laws problems . Expecting the wives to do every household chores. . Trying to control their patner . No getting attention, love, and care they thought they would get before marriage. . Bring a third person and entertaining between them. . Marrying multiple wives. Others.

The world has been reduced to a global village and what goes on in one part of the world affects other parts of the world too. However, living together and being childless are more in vogue in the West. No offence, but I think you are mistaken about the condition in the West. But, if it is as you say it is, " Thank God" for making the youth come to their senses.🤷🙏
