The family division judge Mr. Coleridge is concerned about the number of marriages that do not succeed in the UK. In his opinion marriage is underrated these days and should be promoted, for the sake of British society. It is proven to be the most stable and enduring type of relationship. This is important to the adults, but even more when there are children involved. He understands that everyone should be able to make their own decisions about marriage and divorce, but he wants to warn people and inform them about the value of marriage in general. He would like to make couples understand that a good marriage may need a lot of work and effort from both partners, but is it all worth in the end.
I understand why this judge is worried about the many marriage breakdowns in the UK. In fact, in many countries this is an enormous problem. It seems that marriage itself has not changed, even though less people get married these days than 50 year ago, but people just deal with it in a different way. They do not respect marriage as much as before and simply divorce when it is not working out as perfectly as they had hoped. In my opinion couples should work a lot harder to make their marriage successful in stead of giving up everything when they are having a rough time. It is something we see in our entire society; people want everything to be easy and ready when they need it. But it does not work that way.
