Divorce : A failure of perseverance ?

  Many people come to marriage with the expectations that their lives will be better than life alone. Most of the time those expectations are unrealistic and not met in the relationship. These unmet expectations will turn to feelings of anger and hate towards the other partner. In fact, according to a data it was mentioned that the divorce rate occurs between the two to five years of marriage.

However, at the end of the semester, she informed me that she didn't have the financial means to

The place of fathers in our societies

Today I would like to talk about the importance of having a father in the process of raising children. Many people claim that there no harm in raising children without their fathers. In some instances, I can understand because some fathers have been abusive and did not provide at all for their family, so it makes sense in this situation to support this claim. Living without a father can create both emotional and physical needs in the children behavior. Fathers represent confidence in the house a person to who the children can look for comfort and protection. Living without him could increase behavioral problems in the children attitude.  My nephew dad’s in the process of divorcing his partner went to France to work.  I was living with them because the University I was attending was not too far from the place. No one at home could calm my nephew when he was doing not the right things. He was consistently sad or mad or rebellious at everyone. Luckily his father came back to take and go
