Here is an interesting take on curbing rising divorce rates. The Malaysian state government and the Family and Community Development Council are offering troubled married couples who are on the brink of the divorce a free honeymoon to patch their marriage.
According to The Star, a newspaper in Malaysia, a pilot program that gave couples a free three-day, two-night honeymoon package with a cost of up to $440 yielded surprising results.
Many couples resolved their problems, The Star said. The state is now planning a full implementation that will offer a second honeymoon to “couples whose marital problems continued to persist despite they having gone through the counseling process.”
State officials claim that much of the marital problems stem from a lack of communication between husband and wife. The high divorce rate is especially seen in young couples, but the divorce rate is also on the rise for marriages that have lasted for 20 years and longer.
“We hope through this package couples will treasure their marital ties and avoid separation or divorce,” a state official quoted by the newspaper said.
