do you believe the divorce rate is so high becauseâ€¦?

angel_64	I think due to the fact that divorce is so easy to get that know one takes there marital vows seriously.

Ellyn	I think it is because people are not taking their vows seriously. They are looking for someone to make them happy and are not trying to give their partner happiness in return.

imbrue001	absolutely You can't disobey gods rules and then expect him to bless your relationship.

?	true to many people are ready to bail out on a marriage at the first sign of trouble

wade	the divorce rate is high because the married rate is also high people jump into marriage thinking nothing can go wrong

?	that could be one thing but i think that there are really to many reasons to list. why do people do the things that they do? do gay people stay togther longer than straight people??? that is a good question!!! what would you say?

skip3800	that's a minor reason, its also because people are marrying to early they haven't enjoyed single life long enough which usually ends in divorce later, and people don't take marriage serious any more nor their vows, its to easy to get divorce than to try and work things out . its so that there is no such thing as family any more.

TEA	I believe that the divorce rate is high because its easier to get a divorce than to work at your marriage. People just rush into getting married and once the new has worn off are ready to leave.

Latino Heat 4ever	I think the divorce rate is so high now b/c couples give up too soon. They seem to think that when things go wrong, they need to turn to someone else for comfort rather than each other. They have to do what they did long ago....give it all you can to make it work. Take the good with the bad, the happy with the sad, stick up for each other when needed....THEY JUST CAN'T THROW IN THE TOWEL! And they should never stay together for the kids...it only makes it worse. But they should give it all their all to make it work. Or at least try to.

Someone Else	I really believe it is because "we" believe we are entitled to more than we have. We want everything immediately. Instant gratification. prettier wife, nicer husband, more money, bigger house...etc. Nothing is ever good enough.

Dawn	I don't think virginity plays a part in the divorce rate. I think today's society is a "throw-away society" and if something (in this case: marriage) doesn't work... people toss it out with yesterday's trash and look for the next best thing to replace it with. If people truly were in marriage "for better or for worse" they'd stick it out longer... but today's society has made it socially acceptable to divorce and exchange spouses at the drop of a hat.

sweetgranny06	its not because of a white wedding dress it's because lot of people cheats like my husband and abuse

Kdog	I'm going to divorce my wife because she cheated on me, lie to me, never did anything around the house. I had to go to work everyday and still come home and cook, cleaned, wash the clothes, and take care of our child. While she ran the streets and used that excuse that she is still young.

RED ROSE	there is no communication, the economic part.

just_cookie	marriage is alot of hard work. if it is not working according to how you thougt it would be, there is always an option right? the big ugly 'DIVORCE".

Kogetsu	no. one of the reasons that the divorce rate is so high is because it has become more social acceptable and more assessable. If you don't want to be with someone anymore than you can get a divorce without the huge amount of shame-ing etc that used to occur when a marriage didn't work out.

christine z	i think you are right to a certain degree. i agree that there are no morals left in this society. i also think that divorces are just so easy to get. they make it so easy to throw away a marriage. nobody believes in commitment any more. people should listen to their vows and take them seriously. outside of infidelity and abuse i think people should stick it out and battle through the rough spots.
