Why do divorces occur in new generations?

hi ajithlal because this generation is brought up to think every thing must be instant even in relationships. instant romance, instant learning to know each other,instant perfection. they give up at once on a marriage if the mate does some little thing that bugs them like leaving their dirty socks on the floor instead of putting them in the hamper. We older people just said to the erring hubby, dear please don't just throw them on the floor, put them in the hamper. we did not get a divorce over that. it was not significant . we loved our mates as they were. we did not expect perfection as we knew we were not perfect either.We did not expect super man or superwoman and we loved each other unconditionally. this is not being done in modern marriages. its shape up or ship out which should be left to the armed forces not in marriages. So they need to reread the marriage vows and realize thats the key to a good marriage, for better or worse. However in cases of spousal abuse yes get ou t of the marriage as soon as you can, wife abusers just get worse and worse, do not wait until he kills you.

I don't think there were less relationship problems long ago as you might suggest. What I see is the same type of basic problems in relationships stemming from financial troubles, infidelity,, poor communication between the partners. In past generations the issues were there, but parents made the decisions to stay together and/or keep the underlying issues at bay in fravor of holding the family together, or at least the illusion of family together. What exactly do you mean by "old generations"? How far back are you suggesting these marital issues are "less"? Divorce on the rise, yes, I do agree with you on that one; take a look at what was, and is, considered "acceptable" in society or with different cultures. Perhaps there are more divorces and relationship problems because it is more acceptable now to not only address any re-curring issues in a marriage, but the tolerance for negative behaviors in the marriage, has become less, as in many cases it should. This is a very complex and good discussion to place.

Perhaps today the youngs have different marriage concepts than before. And it seems they pay attention to their own feelings rather than others. And therefore it seems they are not as serious to the relationship as the old people. When there is argument, they don't know how to give in because they just care about themselves. Perhaps this is why the divorces is much more common to the new generations. I love China

Because most of the newly married are couple are not prepare to face the challenge of the new life they enter. Nowadays, we heard alot of marriage that in early age of their marriage they realize they are mean to each other so they decided for divorce. I am also a newly married and it seems that our marriage will turn into the same path. I am praying it will not happen to me.

Before divorces were the last way to end a relationship now in this generation it seems to be the very first solution for a couple who seem to end their relationship. They have to value the sacred bond which we call marriage nowadays and to respect the relationship more than anything else.

their heart become corrupted by impetuous reality...

there are a lot of relationship problems because there are so many forms of distractions! I mean, a couple nowadays is more exposed to a greater risk of being away from each other than people from say 50 years ago. Its like everyone who has dated before always end up, mostly with their first loves, now.. people have more than 2 partners before finally settling down. I guess this is more about the environment, the time, and the developing culture. Its like 20 years ago, you'd be ashamed that your parents have separated... now, its like 1 in every 5 kids does not even have a married parents! The more we accept this culture, the more we are prone to having broken relationships because the thinking is almost always becoming like we can easily find another partner, and it is even harder to rebuild trust, and the relationship, hard to work on the differences than to find a new guy, or girlfriend!

I want to say that it is monetary problems. I do believe that has a lot to do with it, but I am not sure what made people divorce say 40 years ago. I think that people are getting married to fast now or for all the wrong reasons. They aren't communicating correctly and possibly aren't willing to try. I think a lot of people maybe get married because of a child on the way, and though this is a noble thing, it's still better to know who you are marrying then to just marry for the sake of the baby. After all if it doesn't work out it can scar the child more then if they never knew their mother or their father.

I think there are numerous factors for this kind of difference in generations: 1) The main thing is that divorce is no longer taboo. People are not as ashamed to admit that they are divorced. 2) Also, I think that a lot of kids nowadays are not willing to work as hard in marriage anymore- if it doesn't go the way they imagine, they get a divorce and move on. 3) Then there is also the idea that people no longer stay in marriages that they are unhappy in because we no longer believe in sweeping domestic problems under the rug. That's just my opinion.

No patience in both husband and wife and no understanding between both. Small family is also the reason the behind this. Faith is also loosing in between both.

I think before people were more simple and honest and they were taking more responsibility and were believed more that love is just once in the life.. but nowadays people are not that much honest, used to lie and hurt each other. their ego is also a reason. life should started on honesty, when somebody start the life base on lie, so that breaks of life , from starting is not straight and by time, will break...
