Marriage is not respected the way it used to be. Also people get married impulsively and for the wrong reasons.

It's a sad state of affairs.

dumb people that get married when they are 18 and relize when they are 24 they going in different ways.

Because everyone thinks that there is someone one better then the person they married.

I feel its a little of both, men want to waited on like mommy used to do and women have in a way gotten independent and wont do it. But instead on compromising& working things out it is way to easy to run

why? because they can, it is not frowned upon lik it was in the olden days. nowadays the first little row and they split. marrige is work, life is not a bed of roses and ppl just dont put in the effort anymore. I'm not saying there should be a complete ban on divorce, because some people do need it, i'm just saying marrige requires effort. my garandparents were married 60 years this year and still happy and i'd say they've had a few rows in that time.

Because society has made no fault divorce easy. No incentive today to make a marriage work. For women today, they have nothing to lose in divorce. No fear of losing the kids, house,car and bank account etc...Even get a check each month for the kids. They divorce without fear. But men fear it because everything they lose. If men got treated evenly in court women would think twice before filling.

Most couples as a rule just don't want to work at it plain and simple....... Yes the woman may be independent as you put it and the man may be spoiled by his mother to the point that the wife wants too wring the mother-in-laws neck..... gee where have i seen this scenario. But at least You have to work at it plain and simple. In order to stay together you have to be together and work together.

Life has chanced alot in the years women use to be dependant on men and to this day they still feel like they rule the rooster, instead of copromissiog couple just give up where I've been with my man for 21years not all happy but where would I be If I gave up those many years ago. Maybe not still getting into arguments. Wrong no matter where you are theres always someone better, stronger, nicer, uglyer, etc... These days its what you are willing to put into the relationship

I think the reason for the high divorce rate, is because people marry people, just to get married! Oh my sister got married first, I have to hurry or she'll have children before I do... I don't know what that's about.

People approach marriage like a fad now, something to be done, and not something to be thought about. It's hardly about love, or connection, it's about money, or something like just wanting to get hitched in Vegas to their best friend.

Plus people don't think of the long run, they say they love someone and think this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, and that's not the case. Most of the time they're young, and naive, not to say all people who marry young don't stay together that's not true, but the majority end up divorced.

well independent as we women are nowadays, in the end, we'll end up wanting to have someone. i used to think that i don't need a man, until a friend had me signed up at webdatedotcom and saw what i could have missed.

I think you're right.
too many women are too worried about ending up depending on love and getting hurt, and too many men are afraid to love. the sad thing is that no one ever believes in true love anymore and they're so ready to get into something serious instead of actually getting to know someone.

Because it is easy....I have been with my husband for 24 years and divorce just has never been an option. People just do not take marriage seriously, these days

Iram

I think men and women both have lost a sense of what rights are due to their spouses, and then when people forget to fulfill their roles, then things don't happen naturally.

Men forget to be kind to their wives, and take care of them in all aspects, and women forget to respect their husbands and begin to demand things without having patience.

Another thing is that when people get themselves invovled in many relationships before marriage, they always have different expectations of their spouses, and neither start fresh. If a person only begins to get to know their spouse after marriage, both can start with a clean slate, and build up each others trust, and good nature. :)

I think we forget our morals and values now that many places don't hold much value to men or women! :( Sadly

I think that it is because it is more excepted these days. Religion plays a smaller and smaller role in family life, so that restriction is not as strong as it used to be. Back in the day, a people were too afraid of what other people might think to get a divorce. That is also a part of our society that no longer exists. Plus, it is very easy to get a divorce compared to fifty or so years ago.

missxoxo

because people hate each other more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

kurticus1024

I think its that people have more options. People having options and choices and using them is sometimes a good thing that can lead to a better life sometimes. 100 years ago when women were mostly the property of men, noody had many options, especially women. Now peolpe have to be at least mostly nice to each other while they are married or they won't be for long.

Paul

The divorce rate is so high these days because of money issues

mdbuchanan2000

well your right women dont need men to survive but the reason thier are so many divorcees is becasue people are basically selfish and care more about themselves than they do about thier spouse .

therandman

Because divorce is easier than commitment.
Society has accepted divorces. It no longer has a stigma.
Because people don't want to accept that their actions have consequences.
Passing the blame.
Feminism.
Liberalism - the attack on morals (whether religious or not)
Gay Rights
Jerry Springer & Maury type shows.
Desparate Housewives and similar shows.
The Bachelor & similar shows.
Hollywood's attack on marriages. Shows like Will & Grace. What ever happened to The Cosby Show & Family Ties?

i think some people are like that not all. i think nowadays, more people are realizing they don't have to be in a loveless relationship..they're unhappy, and want to be happy again..which is good and bad.

annawysteria2000

unrealistic expectations from both parties

sclady62001p

you answered your own question you are so right

babygirl

I think people just don't care anymore. People give up to easy,because so many people out there don't want to be faithful. People just don't have the respect for themselves or other people.

21Nights

Wow good point. But I think it is because people rush into relationships and the magical notion of "marriage" when in reality monogamy is hard for anyone! So take it slow and make she is the one ...now and forever!!!

amosunknown

I think that has a lot to do with it. that and dr. spock taught us to raise selfish children. We live in a self gratification kinda society, if it isnt instant, or we cant see the immediate reward we dont work at something.

Its sad, but its a cycle that starts with the parents and just keeps on going. Between half assed parenting and kids growing up without fathers or in split homes, they repeat the same mistakes. That and our sense of morals has changed, it used to be that you did things because it was a godly christian way to do them, or because thats what your mother always told you was the right thing, now you just do whatever feels right and makes you happy.

I also think people wait too long to get married, and start dating too young. You sample that much of the spread for that long of a time and you're bound to have a gluttons appetite. That and the longer you live on your own with your own thoughts and goals, the harder it is to care about the needs and desires of another person. It all comes down to selfish self centeredness.

Stay At Home Mom

People have no values nowadays.
