In most homes, under the cover of nightfall sometimes the pressure is too heavy with the daily frustrations of life.

As the English adage goes: "All that glitters is not always gold.” Even wealthy families have their own challenges. I am not drawing the conclusion but there is a time when it is inevitable for a couple to divorce.

Often, married women will persevere and withstand the ‘marriage hardships’ encountered for the sake of their marriage or children, unlike their counterparts.

Martha Mutamba, 46, has been married for 20 years. She says marriage is a union and a union is always between two people. "When someone feels that his/her spouse is useless, the attention goes somewhere else, and if not properly checked might result to divorce.”

There are awful habits hidden during courtship but exposed after the wedding. Some cannot be tolerated, for instance adultery, acute drunkenness , where one graduates with the rank of Daily Drinking Officer (D.D.O), and many others which are perhaps more severe.

Some couples have turned their homes into war zones—husbands turning their wives into boxing bags.

Jean Marie Habimana, 50, a businessman says that today, lots of young girls rush into marriage because of money—but after a few years they regret.

In most cases, divorce is the solution.
Divorce is a social act that has befallen the world today.

It has a lot of evil trends it leaves behind, and in some cases children born to such marriages feel deprived of either motherly or fatherly care. It brings about humiliation in public, especially when the A-Z details of the divorce are public information.

For senior bachelors, spinsters and prospective fiancées, behind every successful man there is a woman. But it’s not a venture worth rushing for without requesting the Almighty God to find your better half.

Communication is very important in a relationship. The man for instance, should make sure that his wife knows what he is doing at all times, and on the other hand the wife should not have any secrets.
