GEORGE TOWN: Ali (not his real name) achieved most of his goals at a young age – he had a successful career and eventually got married and had two children.
As the sole breadwinner of the family, he also bought a house and two cars, one for himself and another for his wife.
“My family survived on a single income for years, but my financial struggles during the movement control order finally put a strain on our marriage,” Ali said.Universiti Sains Malaysia sociologist Prof Intan Hashimah Mohd Hashim said failure to manage financial issues and conflicts between couples were among the factors contributing to divorce.
“According to the family stress theory, domestic tension can be caused by financial causes and changes in social and family dynamics , which may lead to a poor quality relationship, resulting in a separation.“Financial problems such as poverty, unemployment, inflation and an economic downturn can lead to spouses feeling burdened and stressed out,” she added.Six-year-old Caroline is now staying with her grandparents after her father and mother, both young professionals, separated two years ago.
She advised couples to create a resilient relationship that could survive disruptive life situations.
