As a social psychology student, I will be interested in studying the consequence of divorce on children, spouse, adults and the society at large. It is interesting to note that as a product of a divorced parent, I can not over emphasis the tremor and emotional distress that I went through living with three different women and calling each of them “mother” over a period of fourteen years and the detrimental influence on my life as an adult. Moreover, it is alarming to note that the rate of divorce has been on a steady increase in the past ten years in the United States. However, it will be interesting to investigate the following questions:

1. What are the contributing factors that encourage the growth of divorce rate as a social behavior within our society?
2. Who are the major victims in every divorce situation?
3. How has the society contributed to the growth of this ugly trend?
4. Why is it a social problem that needs to be addressed?

In conducting this research I hope to throw more light into the seriousness of the issue and make possible suggestions on how couples can survive the challenges of marriage together, over coming conflicts thus creating a happy family and a healthy society.
