I was wondering what you all think about divorce today. What country do you think has the highest divorce rate and why??? As for me I am on my 2nd marriage I never thought that I would be married more then once but who does. I will not get into it to much buy my 1st husband abused me and after I "woke up" I left. Things happen and I understand that but to me ir just seems that people are getting divorced and have not even been married that long. Marriage is no walk in the park and it takes work are people willing to work on it anymore or is it just me????? Share your thoughts with me or I am the only one out there that feels this way????

in other countries ive heard almost all of the kids have divorced parents. but here in philippines divorce is not yet legalized bcos of being a christian nation. but how i wish that divorce will be legalized here soon so that people could get out of marriage easily if things start to get miserable...

No, divorce is being normal step for the couple after their differences. For me divorce is the cause of broken marriage, because if divorce is not applicable in such country the couple are trying to solve their differences. Also both man/woman are taking advantage of this divorce which very high effect to their children if any - if say so the process is on and on from parents to their children. I don't like divorce and it is not applicable to couple whose trust and love would be thier foundation.... see you around

it is sad to see a marriage end in divorce but it does happen. It is just too easy to end a marriage instead of doing what it takes to keep the marriage together. When things are looking grim in a marriage, divorce is usually an easy out.

this is a sad reality for me. because of too many divorces it seems like family values are almost gone. it\s just so easy for them to have no endurance in a relationship. i know these people have their valid reasons but some may just do it for really invalid reasons.

Well, can't give stats on highest divorce rated country, since this is increasing in all continents. well in india i would say, there are 2 kinds, one who just rush into marriage and get out with same speed and others who come out even after 10 yrs. wife beating is prominent here too. mostly in the lower middle class families where divorce is not possible or women just live for the sake of kids and poor financial support. I have seen many ladies who suffer silently for the sake of kids and family honour. wife torturing is there even in affluent families, but there women suffer more for honour, they don't want to lose the status...hahhaha.....middle class ladies who are fairly financially independent don't mind walking out even with children. divorce is happening every where, remarriages are very common these days. even though people are getting divorced, they believe in the institution of marriage and strive hard to work out for a ever lasting relationship. people in villages or tribals don't go for paper divorce, they just get separated in front of the village head by returning their symbol of marriage called the "mangalsutra" a chain with a unique community dollar, consisting of a cross or a image of the hindu god , or goddesses. thus very simple indeed....

To my mind ,Europeans tend to get more divoce than any other continents'people .On one hand ,they can afford the cost of seperating with their spouses .On the other hand ,Europeans seem less emotional .Many couples slum their marriges for the sake of their children .It seems that Europeans don't care about it much .They just do whatever they go for .No offence .just my opinion .

First of all, good that you "woke up" and left him. NO one deserves an abusive realtionship. About the great rate of divorces throuout the world, that's because today women are not dependend on their husband income anymore, and they don't have yo be afaraid to move on if this is the case. On the other hand, there is less commitment to stay in a non-working relationship. No willingness to work it out, to talk , communicate, check what's wrong and fix it. Everyone has a great time at the beginning, but once kids are coming, it's tough. I wish for you to find the right one (hope you already did) and find a way to stick together "to good and to bad).

As a divorcee I can say absolutely I wanted it to work but unfortunately it did not and well let us just say I am much happier now. Did I go through much as divorcee, absolutely but would not have hung on just for convenience. Anyways congrats to you on you second marriage. I have been living with my boyfriend now going on 5 years, we never speak about marriage and we like it that way. Will we ever marry maybe, who knows and I do not believe I would say no, but am so happy that we just do not go down that route. I never though I would marry and be divorce, I really do not think any of us think of that at the time. So we just have to learn on how to try and move on there after. Take care and best wishes to you.

i belive that divorce is good when a relationship is not healthy, i think that people must first love ourselves an love others but when there is some sort of abuse is better separated from the person, and if later if we find there another person and want to share with her is also valid.
