"I love you" sounds so sweet and sincere at the wedding,however the end is not always so sweet.More and more people are rushing to marriage but find it not the thing they've expected.Family problems pile up and finally trigger the collapse of an incompatible marriage.Why more and more families are breaking?What are the reasons do you think?

I'm a Christian. And I believe that once I get married, I will never divorce. The point here is the principle of life which they take, and the background of their family. If the parents divorce, it become a life guideline for their children. So, the good way of life started from family. For all people in the world, I can only give one suggestion: "Do not get married if in the future there is probability of divorce!" If you ask: "How do we know the probability, we do not know future?" So I can only say: "How do you know that tomorrow is not raining?"... Prepare an umbrella from now then!!! Cheers!

We never know as time passes by whether the feeling will change uncontrollablely to a break-up point. Be aware and take good care of the relationship is my best advice and wish.

Marriage is not for sale...! Not like buying a cloths, when we like, we use it but when it worn out, we throw it away. "Break-up point" is one part of marriage, you can't avoid it although we always be aware and take a good care. All couple in the world will get it for sure. Good luck!

There a LOT of reasons why couples get divorce. Some maybe because of financial problems, others because of attitude problems. Others may also feel that they are not anymore happy being together. I do believe falling out of love to a person could happen. I'm not against about people getting divorces. If they don't want to be together again, so be it. They don't have to force themselves and could lead something awful. Everybody should just go or do the things where they could be happy and just live life to the fullest.

Yes,in some way,divorce may be a good choice for a couple who don't love each other any more.Life is too short to waste on people you dislike.But if the couple has children,things will be different.Responsiblity is something to be concerned.Anyway i wish every couple could take good care of their marriage.

divorce rate is getting higher because people these days are not dependant on anybody. They are self made and they can survive even if they are alone in the big world. They can always earn and take care of themselves rather than stay with person you cannot or donot want to stay with for whatever reason and torture yourself.

I guess no one would like divorce but sometimes it's really hard to manage a marriage well.

I think beacuse nowadays people are more free to decide on divorce. In the past in China, divorce is not deemed as a decent thing to do, always be prohibbied by the their parents, as it will greatly hurt the family repulations. Now people are getting much open, and divorce could be accepted if the two are not happy together. I think now people are tending to persue their own happiness, more focus on themselves, hard to bear the others for differences, that's also making the divorce rate higher.

I believe that one of the main reasons behind divorce is that it is so easily obtainable. Why work out problem when you know that you can just get a divorce? I've been married for almost 14 years now and my husband and I are still madly in love. Communication and honesty are some of the main keys to our marriage. If you go into marriage knowing that you will not alway agree 100%, it does make things a little easier. Another problem is how easy it is to get married. Pay a small fee, go in front of the justice of the peace, and....poof!!...you're married. Like it or not. As children, we are brought up with all these Disney fairytales that everything always works out and you don't really have to do much. It's not true in the real world. Just like everything else, marriage is hard work.

many people rush into a relationship and marry for the wrong reasons. lots of lonely people out there who can't handle being single. while other people get married because the woman gets pregnant and they are trying to be responsible and make it right, when it is really not the right thing to do. they marry anyone or just a friend, and find out that they are not happy after all. marriage is a big commitment and people should take it seriously. if they make sure it is with the right person, their marriage is most likely to work out better.

there could be any number of reasons of why the divorce rate is so high these days. One reason could be is that divorce has become socially acceptable to more people now. Another factor is that most people stayed in relationships in the past that today would be considered abusive, and the increased awareness of what constitues abuse and why leaving in not just ok, but desirable.
