(2007) and others. Psychosomatic disorders as a consequence of crisis states after
divorce were considered by D. B. Aniskin (1999), I. H. Malkina-Pykh (2003),
P. K. Anokhin (1958), A. B. Smulevych (2003), L. F. Verstelle (1998), V. D.

I. K. Matskevych noted that life and processes occurring in society are not

through psychological factors [2]. That is, exactly psychological factors (do not
exclude the social ones) affect the strength of the marriage.
Research results. Numerous difficulties that arise for the family and threaten its
life, by the strength and long-term effects of its influence are divided into acute and
chronic. E. H. Eidemiller, I. V. Dobriakov, I. M. Nikolska (2007) noted that the
influence of complex life situations on the family affects various spheres of its life and

members without allowing them to meet their needs, call the state of internal stress and
discomfort, are a source of somatic, neuro-psychiatric and behavioral disorders, and

marry for the second time and remain alone.
Loneliness, according to N. V. Shytova, is one of the complex psychological
problems of a modern person. The period of socio-economic changes in society is
accompanied by processes of mutual alienation and entails an increase in the number
of lonely people [7].
