Not a lot of people these days would care to save marriage. Most would just rather opt for divorce. These days, it seems to be the fashionable choice. Can't reconcile your differences? File for divorce! Been fighting all of a sudden? File for divorce. It's becoming like the answer to all marriage problems, the way back to paradise, and the only way out of problems. It's like everybody believes that after divorce, you'd have a painless, stress-free life.

But in reality, it can't. A divorce can't save a marriage - it ends it, a divorce can't solve problems - it gives you more problems. If you look into it, it's processes and its effects on your life and the lives of the people around you, you might end up wanting to undo it.

First, let's take the financial stand point.

Getting a divorce means losing a source of income. If, before your divorce, your household was living on two incomes, just think how it'd affect you know that you only have your income to live on. You think you won't be affected financially if your partner isn't working? Think again. If you're a man, you'd have financial responsibility over your wife. If not, you would have to live with the perk of having someone stay at home and take care of household responsibilities. You might have to hire a help, slashing a significant amount from your budget. And the worst part? Your conjugal assets will be divided between you two, subtracting a big amount from you.

Besides, just think about all the money you'd have to spend to get a divorce! The process of filing for a divorce itself is horribly expensive. Simply imagining the cost of petitioning and processing one could get anyone dizzy. Lawyers charge at an hourly basis, and divorce lawyers charge staggering amounts-higher and higher, it seems, each year. The amount of time you'd have to spend in the courtroom discussing how to divide your assets with lawyers may just give you smaller and smaller assets to actually separate from each other. The bulk of it all may just go to paying for your legal fees. How ironic is that?

People don't realize how much a divorce can thwart their standard of living. Unless you're a multi-millionaire, a divorce could create a devastating dent in your financial lives. And how could that affect your lives? It could mean having to sell the car, the house, and getting a lower-standard life. You might have to rent 'cause of the suddenly expensive mortgage that you can no longer pay. You might have to buy less expensive food. You might have to give up certain hobbies to cut the costs.
