It seems that a wave of challenges is facing Syrian families at the present time. While families seek to build a happy shared life, reality often imposes itself harshly. The economic crisis and declining living standards cast dark shadows over many families. Unemployment and high cost of living exhaust husbands and wives, often leading to family breakdown and the collapse of marital bonds.
The tragedy of family separations worsened over the past year, with the divorce rate reaching 37% of registered marriages, according to official statistics. Behind these shocking numbers are painful human stories and tragedies that are hard to describe. There are families breaking apart due to displacement and asylum, where the wife is forced to search for a livelihood and raise children alone after the disappearance or forced migration of the husband.
And there are those whose dreams collapse under the weight of poverty and deprivation, with love and harmony turning into daily disagreements and problems around managing livelihoods.
Tragic moments that portend the dissolution of families and the collapse of the social fabric, at a time when the country is witnessing its worst economic and humanitarian crises.
Even when the two partners decide to confront the challenges surrounding their relationship, the pressures of life and daily worries rob them of joy and happiness.
