Teenagers in Hong Kong may daydream about getting married one day. Yet few of them consider the fact that many marriages end in divorce.
More and more young couples decide to part ways over relatively trivial matters. I believe the problem lies in a lack of education about marital problems and how to resolve them.
It is high time that schools began teaching students about the importance of marriage. The more information adolescents absorb now, the less likely they will be to make hasty decisions later. Divorce is not uncommon in Hong Kong, so the younger generation should learn how to evaluate matters before they take the leap.
Building and sustaining a relationship is not easy. Teachers and parents should share their experiences with youngsters who will benefit from the process.
