After reading about Middle Adulthood I truly believe that midlife crisis can exist in middle aged adults. Midlife crisis may begin to occur when major changes happen during this period of time. What I mean by this is major physical changes in both men and women that show their aging more and more. Or a divorce happens where our textbook uses the example of, “A 40-year old man who divorces his wife, trades in his Ford Taurus station wagon for a red Saab convertible and marries a much younger woman makes a greater impression than a happily married man who remains with his spouse (and Taurus) through middle adulthood.” (Feldman, 2015, p.379). Contributing factors od divorce in the middle adult years are as follows. A couple may spend less time together in middle aged years than in earlier years. Another reason is that they are more concerned with their own happiness. Which makes a spouse believe that divorcing will bring them their lost happiness. (Feldman, 2015, p.384). Another reason for divorce is that romantic, passionate feelings may fade over time…In some marriages the lack of excitement and boredom leads to marital dissatisfaction. (Feldman, 2015, p.384). Finally, the biggest reason for divorce is infidelity which is when a spouse engages in sexual activity with a person outside of the marriage. (Feldman, 2015, p.384). These are the most common contributing factors of divorce in the middle-aged years. There are a few ways to prevent divorce after 25 years of marriage. Holding realistic expectations where couples understand that there will be things that couples may not like about each other but are still accepting of it. They remain to focus on the positive such as thinking about things that they like mostly about their partner which help accept the things that bother them. Compromising which simply means the couple understands that they are not going to win every single argument that they get into. And the last thing is avoiding suffering in silence which is when something bothers a partner they let their partner know instead of keeping silent. It allows them to speak about the problem in a calm way together. (Feldman, 2015, p.384). Although divorce rates are rising in the United States if these factors were taken in seriously I feel that the divorce rate would be much lower. However, if one is truly unhappy they should get the situation handled after trying whatever it takes to save the marriage. IN 9-10 LINES, WHAT DO YOU AGREE ON THIS PAGE OR HOW WOULD COMMENT?
