Why do you think the divorce rate is so high?

the rate in west is lot more than east and i think its coz the westerners dont give it much importance in the east u r really bound together for ur life in the west thats not the concept and besides whats ther left in the marriage when u r already having babies together and doing every damn thing that u r not supposed to do before it, in short theres no spice left in those marriages

The people have changed. The natural order of life is getting more corrupt every day. Society makes people think marriage isnt a good thing, it holds you down, its usless why get married when you can have a girlfriend, in a mindframe like this who could stay married? the ones who have some kind of moral thats who.

I think that divorce is so common because there are very few people who are willing to try and make it work. Maybe it could also be because people who have children and then get divorced, then thier children grow up and make the smae mistake they kearned from thier parents and get divorced too. The visous cycle is what I call it. It can happen with any thing. In my family it's not divorce because my mom was never married, but it sure did take me a long time to figure out what a healthy relationship was.

I think, personally, that divorce should be a last resort action. That is just me. I think that the divorce rate is so high because people don't see anything wrong with it. They get married without real commitment to a lifetime event because they know that if it isn't working, they can get out of it easily enough. I think couples need to take the time to make marriage work. I'm not saying that all marriages will work but if you take the time, many more would. I also think that couples need to look upon marriage as something that is permanent rather than something that is easily undone. Marriage should be a commitment. Of course, in cases where there is violence or abuse, then divorce may be the best solution. I'm not saying that it shouldn't be used at all. Just as a last resort.

A lot people marry at an early age, wherein they are not yet emotionally, financially, spiritually or mentally ready and because of this it usually results in divorce.

On my opinion, Financial is the most factor to get couple divorce

Infidelity on the part of the couples and lack of compassion couple with no open-mindedness between the couples has been the main causes of divorce.

Because men are from Mars and women are from Venus.

Not very much in Catholic countries like ours where divorce is not very easily allowed by the Church. And if it does, it is very expensive to have one so couples severe their ties by mutual separation though they cannot contract another marriage. Well, societies who do not give much value to the spirituality of marriage oboviously have higher rate of divorce which consequently resulted to more broken families and juvenile deliquents resulting from the absence of parental guidance. Societies where divorce is easily provided according to noted sociologist will have higher tendency to collapse as the basic unit, the family, is weakened. What strengthens the family are the values that are shared by the family. But how those values can be propagated and perpetuated in a short-lived family? Divorce is the culprit. Its benefits is overshadowed by its tremendous negative effects.

I don't know but isn't it so that in american marriage text it reads that one must go into marriage unadvisely, lightly or wantonly? Maybe this signifies the real problem that most couples go into marraige unprepared and not aware of the fact that marriage can be not only full of joy but also very complicated. Marriage is not only about love and romance but also about working together as a team and that is something you should be aware of before you get married.

I don't believe in devorce myself. People just aren't committed these days. When things get tough, they only think of themselves and how they feel and if it don;t feel right to them, then they think its time to book it. Pretty sad if you ask me

I seriously believe that marriages don't last, because one person in the relationship/marriage can't commet to their partner. There is a lack of trust, and too much lust.

I think it all boils down to couples not being able to understand each other. I have been married for almost 4 years now and as I looked back, those petty disagreements or arguments that we've had would have resulted to divorce if my husband and I doesnt talk about the problem and iron it out as it comes.

I guess most of the couples nowadays marry because they just want to and did not think of what might happen in the future. They just married because that person are good looking or good in bed or simply because of security. People should think twice or thrice before getting married. They should be a hundred percent sure of what they're entering because if they already have a child it would affect the well being of the child. I think for divorced couple they just think of what will make them happy without considerung the feeling of their children. They alwasy say that they will understand when they get old. But the emotional effects will still be there even when they're adults.
