7. Problems of a Modern Family A ”typical” family, used to consist of mother, father and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in family life. Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage in every three now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is not more tolerant than it used to be of unmarried people, unmarried couples and single parents. Another change has been caused by the fact that people are living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death, of their parents. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people lives there are many households which consist of only one person or one person and a child.

In general each generation is keen to become independent of parents in establishing its own family unit, and this fact can lead to social as well as geographical differences within the larger family group.

8. Family in crisis Many families suffer from a number of current life stresses. Crises means the breakdown of old patterns and the possibility of new patterns development. The outcome of crisis is not necessarily positive. The mobilization of hope and the restoration of control over the situation are very important in this case. About half of all marriages are in the end in divorce. These numbers are very high, as they are in many other industrialized countries. The number of divorces has grown steadily for many years. Now, however, it has stopped growing and during the past five years the number of divorces has even been decreasing. Children also suffer during a divorce. Nevertheless most people think that living with one parent is better for children then living with two parents who are unhappy with one another and fight most of the life. Today an average household contains only two or three people. Many families suffer from a number of current life stresses.

9. Family in crisis Family in crisis Unlike their parents many single adults today are waiting longer to get married. Some men and women marry and start their family life later because they want to graduate from the university or college others want to become more established in their chosen profession. Couples are also waiting longer before they have children. Some couples today decide not to have any children at all. Teenagers often consider their father old fashioned. As for the father, he usually does his best to give his children a better education, a better background, a better chance than he had himself. His parents’ role is finished when they have brought their children to the end of formal education. After their graduation the children often try to achieve complete independence leaving the maternal home and sometimes even the native town. The mother is not usually expected to play any part in her daughter’s marriage, beyond possibility being, an honored ­ guest at the wedding.

10. Why So Many One-Child Families Over half of Russian urban families have only one child. Many people put it down to the birth of a child worsening housing and economic conditions. But the latest investigation have shown that the higher the income of a family, the fewer children it has. Over half of Russian urban families have only one child. Many people put it down to the birth of a child worsening housing and economic conditions. But the latest investigation have shown that the higher the income of a family, the fewer children it has. The country demographic policy should combine cash allowances, a paid maternity leave, an expanded network of child-care centres, improved working conditions for women, privileges for large families, better housing conditions, and many other measures. However it is clear that the problem cannot be solved by economic measures alone. We need a shift in the psychology of people who prefer to have one child.

11. A lot of happy families based exclusively on mutual interests and respects.Among these couples there are childless as well but it does not form vacuum in the family because each of them is selfvaluable and interesting to the others. As for the question of children- to have or not to have -each family should decide it for itself, jointly. Then even the thought or divorce wont arise. So, whom to marry? Only the one whose way of thinking is close to yours, a man who is your friend, who respect an arid personality in you.
