Understanding Stress in Marital Life: A Survey Review
A recent survey conducted by Agoora, through its portal "Divorce Lawyer Consultation Plaza," targeted married women who feel stressed in their daily lives with their husbands. The study aimed to identify specific behaviors and situations that contribute to their stress and how this stress may affect their intentions regarding divorce.
Survey Overview
The survey had an objective to shed light on the relationship between daily stressors in married life and the inclination toward divorce. We gathered responses from 200 married women aged between 20s and 50s from July 28 to July 30, 2025, via a web-based questionnaire.
Key Findings:
1.
Lack of Communication: An overwhelming 35% of respondents reported that the absence of gratitude and apologies (like "thank you" or "I’m sorry") is a significant source of stress.
2.
Self-Centered Behavior: Following closely were the feelings of stress originating from their husbands’ self-centered actions, such as prioritizing their own needs (32%) and excessive use of smartphones or watching TV after returning home (31%).
3.
Generational Differences: The survey highlighted differences in stress factors among various age groups. Women in their 30s and 40s expressed a desire for equitable relationships, while those in their 50s had complaints about the practical aspects of their relationships, like financial differences and lifestyle habits.
Stress Factors by Generation
The survey observed notable trends regarding stress causes among different age groups:
- - 20s: This group reported lower levels of dissatisfaction, potentially due to shorter marriages and less experience in identifying sources of stress.
- - 30s & 40s: Women in these generations demonstrated a clear pattern of discontent regarding emotional neglect and inequitable dynamics in their relationships.
- - 50s: In contrast, older respondents stressed more about practical issues in their daily lives, including financial disparities and differing social circles.
Most Significant Stressors
When the respondents were asked to identify their most significant source of stress, three primary areas emerged:
- - Lack of Attention: Not feeling that their husbands were engaged or concerned.
- - Unhappiness: Incidents of husbands displaying bad moods or being uncommunicative.
- - Controlling Behavior: Experiences of verbal abuse or condescending remarks were also marked as troublesome.
Potential Divorce Intentions
The survey further explored if these stressors influenced thoughts about divorce. Alarmingly, 36.5% of respondents indicated that they either considered divorce strongly (13%) or thought it was a possibility (23.5%). Analysis by age revealed a peak in divorce considerations among women in their 30s; this inclination waned among older generations.
Conclusion
The study highlighted critical insights into how daily behaviors, such as neglect or lack of communication, can lead to increased stress in marital relationships. For many women, these accumulated frustrations contribute significantly to their feelings of isolation and dissatisfaction, potentially culminating in considerations of divorce.
In situations where improvement seems unlikely, contemplating divorce may be essential. Preparing for such a significant step requires thoughtful consideration of financial stability, housing, and the well-being of children involved.
Women feeling overwhelmed by their situation are encouraged to seek guidance from lawyers specializing in divorce issues.
