Marriage and Divorces have obviously been around for thousands and thousands of years. But only recently has divorce blossomed into what seems to be the "in" thing right now. My parents have split over a year ago now and i can honestly say it didn't bother me that much, my sister was devastated however. I know my grandparents got divorced and my other grandparents are still together, god bless. I also know that divorce wasn't accepted by many many familed if not all familys say a hundred or two years ago. Why do you think this was?
I personally think that women didn't marry because of love many many years ago, yes they loved their man to a certain extent but they didn't find THE ONE. Many women i believe used to marry for security, money and children, and to get away from their parents for independance and so they fit in. Now i believe this is still the case and marriage hasn't changed at all and that now divorce is an option and isn't frowned upon that more women realise what they have done, and even men realise and decide its the easier/the only option to take.
What do you think?

for me love is still there with peoples (men and women) even until today. But what makes the divorces thing happen is the respect matter in life was never be on the top of the list in some peoples out there. I say that most of the marriage today are based on the love they have. For me respect thing is most important in any relationship. This matter must go along with the love which we have towards our partner, then the marriage will last. I can't accept the words from a person who are saying that women did not really need a husband to live. I always back to the old tradition which a lady are safe when they are with their husband. But on the other hand, a husband himself need to respect their wife also then only the wife will feel that they are secure.

I agree! Women i think are complete when with a husband, or even now with a woman, not necesarily for security but for love, i think no person is complete without love in their life and everybody needs it, now woman are becoming successful and have more rights than they did many years ago i think they have more courage and stand up if they think something is wrong in their life which is what i think men don't like and argue against and result in marriage. I think men need to be the ones in charge and when women get the courage to stand up they don't like it!
