Marriage is a choice. Whether man or woman, you choose if to get entangled.

I think the issue of high divorce rate isn’t only due to women fighting for equal rights and don’t want to be treated as slaves.

Many factors contribute to high divorce rate.
And yes, more women file for divorce.

But in the end, you’ll say, ‘unequal rights and been treated as a slaves,’ is the cause of why most women can’t stay in marriage.

When in truth, it’s not just that.

Why not talk about, the fact that more women are cheating today like never before?

Why not talk about the high number of unmarried single mothers?

Aren’t there more women in the professional spheres today than many years ago?

Ain’t there more daughters in school than many years ago?

Ain’t there more women in the political arena, even in the White House than many years ego?

More women are doing well professionally than they are in their marriages today. That should cause you to take a moment to delve deeper into this issue.

Going back to been treated poorly in marriage…….

You got a divorce from a man who treats you like a slave, that’s cool.
My question is, why did you marry such a man in the first place?

Did you just wake up one day and find yourself in the marriage?

Every woman in the comment supports your piece. And I do too. To a large degree.

Women deserves to be treated equally. Not because they’re women, but because they’re humans. Everyone deserves egalitarianism.

In marriage, a wife isn’t a slave. She’s an equal partner. We all know this. It’s common sense.
And a man who doesn’t know or practice this needs re-education.

In essence, what am trying to say is that the increased rate of divorce isn’t only due to women been treated unequally and treated like slaves in their marriages.

There’s more to it.
This issue of inequality and being treated as slave is just what women bring up to silence men’s voice.

So no one can speak about the many issues women of today have that’s contributed to the high rate of divorce we’re seeing today.

Your piece my friend only showed a little piece of one side of the coin.
