MARITAL RELATIONS DURING THE WAR IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article is devoted to marital relations during the period of full-scale war in Ukraine, which are experiencing significant changes and facing unprecedented challenges, including physical separation, financial difficulties and psycho-emotional stress. Millions of Ukrainians have left abroad or moved within the country, and many men and women have gone to defend the state. This leads to long-distance relationships, which require additional efforts to maintain communication and trust. A significant negative surge for the family was actually brought by old problems, which were to some extent unresolved, but ultimately brought far from thoughtless consequences. Relationships in young families, which have not yet been fully tested by time, by the life trials of ordinary ordinary life, are especially difficult. This has an extremely negative impact on families with minors or young children, who, due to circumstances, have to be participants in all the negativity of the war atmosphere heard or seen with their own eyes from the media, or directly in the family itself. Constant stress, anxiety for loved ones, losses and uncertainty about the future negatively affect the psychological state of both partners, which can cause conflicts and quarrels. Due to mobilization or forced emigration of one of the partners, the other takes on new responsibilities, which leads to a redistribution of traditional family roles and the need for adaptation. The departure of many Ukrainians abroad complicates the legal aspects of marital and family relations, in particular divorce procedures, determining child custody and property disputes. It is necessary to understand that these are far from all the aspects that, one way or another, bring coldness to the family in relations, disappointment in the future.
