Couples Divorce Fight People Find Relationship Problems End

When people are in relationships, it is natural that they might get into fights. In the U.S., there are a lot of places where couples can go to find help if their relationship is not going well. "Marriage counselors" are people who have been trained to help married couples work out problems. They meet with couples to try and find out what is causing problems in their relationship, and to try and solve those problems through talking together. Churches are another place where couples can get help. Some couples may talk to their "priest" or "pastor" - the person who leads the church - to ask for advice and help.

Even with this help, there is a high divorce rate in the U.S. today. "Divorce" is when a husband and wife decide to stop being married. Some say that that fifty percent of new marriages in the United States end in divorce. Research shows that more than half of the divorces in America are "filed for," or asked for, by women.

While divorce might end a relationship that has problems, it causes problems, too. A couple that can't can agree may go to "divorce court" to settle arguments about how to divide their money and which parent gets the children. In divorce court, the judge makes the decision and each side must do what the judge tells them to do.
