For my response essay, I plan to give a full explanation for the reasoning behind my preliminary essay. In my preliminary essay I mentioned how unfortunate divorce can be and how it can be prevented, avoided and obstructed. With such a strong topic, this should be fairly easy because I have a lot of information dealing with divorce and its affect on the family. Since my parents divorced, and I have first-hand experience with it I am going to tell my personal story and how I was affected as the oldest child dealing with my parents messy split. I want to end the paper with signs of hope that divorce can be prevented. I have quite a bit of useful facts, statistics and research that I plan on using to give my audience the happy ending I want to finish my essay with.
Throughout the essay I want to give a background history of why statistics show that Christian marriages tend to last longer than people of other religious affiliations. I want to be very clear that I am not trying to write a paper to persuade readers into Christianity, because that is not my motive at all. I just would like to make the point that generally speaking, couples who base their marriage from a Christian foundation and that are trying to live the marriage according to God’s plan, will indeed be successful. The media can be very deceiving when it comes to love, divorce and marriage. Many times, divorce occurs in movies just because the couple could not seem to be with one another any more, which is not a proper reason for divorce at all and it is implied that the couple gave the marriage no effort to work things out between one another. I want to remind people that what we see and hear from television is not at all the way real life operates. True love does exist but it requires a lot of hard work that is not shown on television and movies. People get so wrapped up in what is supposed to be love, but television is never accurate when trying to depict true love. Directors always create movies where the main characters end up divorcing but magically, everything seems to work out for the better in the end. In movies now, divorce occurs simply because a couple cannot work things out and fall out of love with each other. That is no reason for divorce and I want my response essay to prove that fighting through tough times in marriage is definitely possible and doable if people are willing to work for it. Love can be a difficult process but it has been created and is still possible even today where divorce and infidelity reside. Ultimately, this paper will be a deeper, more in-depth response to my preliminary essay discussing how divorce is portrayed to not be a big issue in movies, how it can be prevented in real life, and I will give proof that it can be done. Even if statistics show that Christian marriages have a longer time-span than other marriages, I want to use that as my argument for why these people are happier in their marriages than others.
