How to Write a Problem-Solution Essay

The problem-solution essay aims to find out the causes of the problem situation, try to determine its further development, and identify possible solutions.

The problematic situation is not described only in the form of a set of numbers, judgments, and facts, but is presented in an essay as a certain barrier that real people with their strengths and weaknesses, characters, worldviews, and values are trying to solve.

There are three ways to structure a problem-solution essay:

Chronological. Using this method, the writer describes events, phenomena, and life situations in their time sequence.

Logical. The author of the essay narrates based on the logic of causal relationships. There is no strict temporal sequence in such an essay; the main thing is the logic of the study.

The mixed or free way of narration. Such a structure of the essay is the most popular in the periodical press, it is multifaceted and combines the elements of chronological and logical structure.

Making the best of your marriage

Not all marriages end in divorces, most couples often cannot find a common point of view where they can agree with each other, which in turn would eventually lead to a divorce if the couple cannot agree without delay . Divorce is a problem shared by the parents as well as their child or children as well. Divorce can be prevented or solved by (1) proper communication with each other (which includes children too); (2) thinking positively of the marriage (so far); (3) and if the divorce has already been through, insist on working with each other for the benefit of the child or children.

Doherty states in his book, Take back your marriage: sticking together in a world that pulls us apart, that couples who are in the brink of their marriage should at least visit a couple therapist either once a month or a week to talk about the issues that come about in the marraige. He also recommends to keep the lines open, do not shut out the other, avoid saying ‘No’ to the other person. By replying  a ‘No’ will give a tone of aggressiveness intimidating the other party. It is better to keep the child or children notified of the impending separation, but also recommended that the child be a part of therapy or family talks since the child will play a big part in the bond of the couple.

Desrochers’ article in the National Association of School Psychologists,  A Parent’s Guide for supporting children, suggests that divorces can be saved owing  to the child living with either spouse and being provided by both parties. As long as the husband or wife would think positively of the marriage, the couple will not look forward to any kind of conflict between them during the course of positive outlook would eventually not result in divorce or separation as long as the couple view it as an opportunity to strengthen the bond with each other, the children as well as the whole family.

If the divorce has already been gone through, the couple must insist on working with each other for the benefit of the child or children says Kruk, a Psychology PhD specializing in child and family policies.  Children will always have the right to live a normal life with two parents or one parent, but in the case of divorces, the couple is encouraged to provide for the child or children together as it does not only help the children with cope up with the parents’ divorce but also make the couple warm up to each other in terms of providing for the child even though they are not together anymore . The couple may not be together in wedlock anymore, but they could still be friends as far as the child support goes.

Not all marriages turn out to be failures, divorces can still be saved. The couple can and may prevent a divorce from happening as long as they would listen to each other and keep their relationship healthy. There were three probable solutions on how a divorce can be prevented and saved. Not all marriages turn into shambles, the couple will be all right if they can find the time to take preventive measures, have a healthy communication with the children, keeping the marriage lively and keep personal distances from each other but not to the point of keeping secrets that are not meant to be kept from one another.

Outline: Problem Solution Essay

Problem: Divorce

Thesis Statement:

Divorce is a problem shared by the parents as well as their child/children as well. Divorce can be prevented/solved by (1) proper communication with each other (which includes children too); (2) thinking positively of the marriage (so far); (3) and if the divorce has already been through, insist on working with each other for the benefit of the child/children.

Solution #1: Proper communication

A couple may suggest attending a therapist so that the couple may sort things out without having to conflict with each other. Keep the lines open, do not say 'No' with each other and often ask the children what their say in these matters

Solution #2: Think of the marriage positively (so far)

The marriage will survive as long as both partners understand that there will not be a problem or any hindrances that will come-out of the marriage. A positive marriage will eventually result in a healthy relationship with each other and also with the children.

Solution #3: if the divorce has already been through, insist on working with each other for the benefit of the child/children.

The marriage may have ended but for the better or worse, the couple will eventually talk out some issues regarding the possession of items, bank accounts as well as guardianship over the child/ children. The couple may like it or not, but they have the responsibility of bringing up the child and it's the child's responsibility to cope with the divorce of his or her parents.
