Summary
Research indicates that the top reasons people marry are for lifelong commitment, public acknowledgment, legal or financial security, religious beliefs, and providing security for children. However, when parents divorce, the well-being and security of their children can be deeply impacted.

According to the CDC's National Vital Statistics Report of 2002, 50% of first marriages and 60% of remarriages end in divorce. Despite these stats, marriage remains a key milestone for many, driven by the human desire for nurturing and security. The allure of unconditional love and companionship continues to draw people toward marriage.
Marriage, however, is more than just a celebration or a honeymoon. It involves building a family and raising children, providing them with essential shelter, education, and love. If a marriage breaks down, children are inevitably affected, with their emotional and psychological well-being at stake. Parents should consider the potential impact of divorce on their children when navigating marital struggles.
Research has extensively examined how divorce affects children. They often feel emotionally shaken by the breakup, fearing the loss of stability and familiarity. This may include losing contact with extended family or changing school routines.
Children, naturally attached to their parents, fear abandonment. The prospect of losing one parent can lead to a deep-seated fear of losing the other. This sense of potential isolation is terrifying for a child.
Beyond parental attachment, children may fear losing connections with friends, pets, siblings, and neighbors. Changing surroundings can provoke anxiety, potentially leading to depression, withdrawal, aggressive behavior, or classroom disruptions.
Academically, children from divorced families face significant challenges. They drop out of school at twice the rate of those from intact families, with lower graduation rates and poorer performance in reading, spelling, and math.
Furthermore, children of divorced parents are more prone to delinquency by age 15, independent of when the divorce occurred. Parental divorce, coupled with living in a single-parent household, can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts, while drug use is lowest among children not impacted by parental divorce.
Even when tensions are evident at home, children can be shocked by their parents' decision to divorce. Accepting the ensuing changes may take time. To support their children, parents should be patient, gradually introduce new routines, and continually reassure them of their love.
Long after the wedding celebration fades, many marriages fail to endure, placing children's security and well-being at serious risk. Despite joyful beginnings, the end of a marriage can leave lasting emotional scars on the children involved.
