Park So Yeon/p.52 initial draft/Summer 56

Q. Cause and effectMany marriages end in divorce, often because love has failed. What are the causes of failure?

             There is a rising number of couples getting a divorce. People who had once loved each other with all their heart and thought it would be okay to build a future with the other get a divorce. Even though they loved each other in the past, they end up getting a divorce because they lack understanding for each other.

             I believe that the key to a successful marriage is the understanding between the couple. If they fail to understand each other's thoughts or behavior, they will end up being unhappy. In other words, if the two can understand each other, their marriage will be a happy one. Of course, if two people with completely different backgrounds meet, with no doubt there will be differences. If they talk to each other about the differences, they will be able to reach a consensus and solve the problem. However, if they refuse to talk to each other and think that they are right and the other is wrong, they will never be able to understand each other and they will always fight. For instance, let's assume there is an ordinary couple, John and Mary. John was raised in a family where his mother did all the household chores. Mary, on the other hand, grew up in a family where everyone in the family was responsible for the chores. When John and Mary got married, they fought because John wouldn't do the dishes or clean the house. In order to become a happy couple again, what do you think they should do? They should talk to each other and reach an understanding that they grew up in different households. Then, they could find a way to solve it.

             In conclusion, I believe that many couples end up having a divorce because they don't understand each other and they don't try to understand each other.

  1. You began with a nice intro.
    Your topic sentence was clear and had direct supporting details which makes the reader easy to follow.
    My only suggestion is to elaborate more on your conclusion and make a restatement of your thesis statement.
    Good luck!

  2. I feel sorry for circumstances nowadays... I am a person who don't believe that love or marriage is something beautiful that should last forever. But I think maintaining marital relationship is better off than breaking up. As aforementioned in your essay, I firmly believe that personality difference is the factor that cannot be overlooked when it comes to talk about love and marriage. It's the most important and decisive factor, which stands above other factors like economical status, educational level, etc. The best solution might be to find some ways to narrow down the personality gap between couples... but sadly I must admit that it would be virtually impossible.
