离婚
一。美国离婚率很高有几个不同的原因。原因之一是美国是个“丢掉”社会——很多东西用一次就“丢掉”。纸杯、纸盘、罐头都是例子。因此，有人把“丢掉”的观念用在婚姻上。他们把不快乐的家庭看为正常或标准。朋友、同事、电影明星、演唱家、邻居和亲戚都离婚，所以他们认为离婚就是能够解决婚姻问题的好办法。错了！请爱你的配偶，高举他，祝福他，鼓励他、协助他。请你和配偶同甘共苦地培养你的家成为美满快乐的家庭。
二。中国离婚率越来越高有几个不同的原因
。中国妇女要求离婚的原因包括丈夫喝酒、赌博、对妻子和家人凶暴。又有人提出夫妻二人，因为工作的关系，所以必须分开住——也会使得婚姻失败。又有人说因为必须和父母住在一块儿，不能自立小家庭，所以他们没有办法维持家庭，就离婚。如果夫妻二位彼此相爱、服侍、鼓励、分享、体贴以及原谅，就能够避免离婚而拥有一个快乐美满的家庭。

3. Problems in the Home
There are several reasons for the high divorce rate in the United Sates. America is a “throw away” society; consequently some people carry this concept over into the home. Many people look to the wrong examples of what normal homes are. They see friends, neighbors, coworkers and movie stars divorce, so they assume that divorce is the answer to their problems as well. There are several causes of the increased divorce rate in China also. Because of their work situations, some couples cannot live together; instead, they live in different cities, causing frustration to each partner. Numerous couples cannot afford to move out of a parent’s house and live on their own, and so their home is stressed. Divorce can be avoided if each spouse will love, serve, encourage, share with, be thoughtful of and forgive each other.
