Technique Analysis – Practicing Enthymemes

WATCO: Getting divorced on future relationships?

Claim: Getting a divorce does not improve your chance at having fulfilling future relationships because getting a divorce does not help you learn to overcome problems and obstacles.

Implicit Assumption: Whatever does not help you learn to overcome problems and obstacles also does not improve your chance at having fulfilling future relationships.

Audience: Couples who are considering getting a divorce

Sometimes divorce is the best option, but more often than not people could work through their struggles if they showed more dedication and put in more effort. Many people get divorced because they have differences that seem insurmountable. Divorce is a very short-sighted fix to this problem, as the two people involved do not learn how to overcome their differences. Chances are that the next relationship they enter into will confront them with differences as well. Studies have shown that people who work through their trials (even though this is very difficult sometimes) are much happier five years later than people who have chosen to get a divorce.
