As we head into another decade of unrelentingly high divorce rates, could you give a reason (or theory) as to why people just can't stay married??? do you think there has been less emphasis on family structure in the past 20 years? If so, what do you think has contributed to the growing destruction of the family system?

Selfishness and unrealistic expectations, not destruction of family system. People are used to being pandered to and getting what they want. That sort of attitude just doesn't work when there's more than one person.

I believe family values have dropped. It seems that alot of people dont realize that it takes two to make a marriage work. Its not something that is handed to you on a silver platter. If both are not willing to work at it, it is bound to fail. There also seems to be a lack of communication , trust. With out these, how can a marriage survive?

The main reason is woman are gradually becoming less dependant on man for survival. The second is society is also changing. Single mothers or divorcees are more easily accepted by the society at large than any other time in Human history.Now man should realise that Keeping the family intact is his job also.Man has not grown out of his old established role. Many marriages are infatuation marriages and not love marriages.

When we believe the lie that divorce is a sin in itself, all our decisions are made upon a wrong foundation. If we want to make right decisions, we have to know the Truth. It is the Truth and ONLY the Truth that sets us free. Otherwise, we move in darkness and deception — not really knowing which direction is absolutely the right one. The needed questions: Is Divorce OK or right for me? Is divorce the answer? Is divorce a sin? @@"

I think its the ego of either person which comes in between the husband and wife and which leads to divorce......

Some people just can't get along and some people do it for the wrong reasons.

Well I think because in the old day divorce was not aloud, and they worked at their marriage. But now it is easyer to get divorced then work on the marriage.

I think partners become bored with one another and maybe are overwhelmed. The demands of the world and society are getting worse. Maybe for some, they got married for the wrong reasons and felt pressure to do so, because its "the right thing to do" according to society. That is my take on it.

There may be problems among couples with they dont have mutual understanding,in the development of theie child,etc.., but according to me when each of the spouse wants to succesful intheir life divorce case may not appearitself. but now world is going on the basis of currency only so each of the couple wants to make money if wife also going to work then who will care of child is the one of the main dispute ,next one is suspection comes in the behavior among the spouse,nest one is unsatisfied with their property wants to earn more.mis understand are some of the reason to increase the divorce
