The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
This research aims to explore and highlight the effects of problems between legally married men and women to their teenage children. According to The Free Dictionary by Farlex, “the man and woman who are legally married to one another are thereby given by law specific rights and duties resulting from that relationship. Under common law, when a man and woman marry, they became a single person in the eyes of the law” and in the researchers’ opinion, in the eyes of their children also. Parents have a large role in the overall well-being of their children and we seek to find out how vulnerable these teenage children are to the negative changes in their parents relationship with each other.
Statement of the Problem
As Filipinos, family has always been a very important aspect in our lives. It is what shaped us and continues to shape us into who we are and who we are going to be. We rely on them in times of loneliness and doubt. A family is something that will always be with us until the end, but what happens when the base of the family breaks? Will the whole family relationship crumble down? How much will it affect the children? Problematic marriages are more present in the Philippines than we think and the researchers aim to find out how negatively it can affect the children; the future leaders of our country.
Objectives of the Study
