Why divorce rate gets higher and higher?

November 23, 2009 7:46am CST
When the couples argued together,the most topics said" Let's divorced if you agree." What happened on the couples? When they married, they falled in love each other, argument is normal for couple in their lives, why don't they calm down to talk and understand each other? Love is bridge of marriage, if love lost, the last result should be divorce? Many younger couples divorced, because they think they are younger, they can find their love again, and they can have more choices, so it causes divorce rate gets higher and higher. How about your opinion on divorce rate? The couplds don't consider their children, maybe divorce will release them, but it will bring deep hurt for their children.

I think it can cause by two side, from the inside and outside effect. From inside, this must be they still don't know each other well, or can't understand each other. They forget that they swear to life together and it should be forever not just for awhile. From outside, these effect can also influence the inside part. Many problem that happen in the couple and prefer to choose divorce are because the life demands, whether problem in work, home, business, start an affair or anything else. These have to be the most problem in our life, and it will effect our character and couple relationship. If one of these problem happen in your life, then you should think calmly and wisely and don't give the bad effect to your couple, but it would be better if you share with him/her. By share your problem to people that you may trust than your feeling will be fresh than before. By facing the problem together will stronger our relatiosnhip.

Couples need to believe each other, which is most important for one family too.If the family lost the trust, the love will go fast. If misunderstand caused, the one need to translate to another one.

I think children is one of the most important factors for divorce. My dad and mom quarreled for the whold life, and mom always say to us, I would had divorced with him if I had not given birth to you. Nowerdays, many couples decide not to have a baby, which make their divorce more difficult. Mom insisting me to give birth to a baby quickly after my wedding this September, but we prefer free life for a while. However, it is not necessarily the same, those who has children will prefer divorce easier today than before, maybe because people today are more fragile and more freely, not restricted by the old thought. Anyway, in the old days, divorce is kind of humiliation.

Divorce for some couples is a really extrication, I saw some husband beat their wife, it's so rude and brutal for a man to beat woman, I can't abide this. If my husband beat me often in the future, I will consider divorce with him. I saw some husband are very lazy, and play girls,look for inamorato,which I can't accept absolutely,however some woman want to keep, save and continue their marriage for chilrend, especially for Chinese people most consider the initial factors for children, so these womans can accept the husband's soul and love betray, it's misery for these woman, who can't find any happiness from their life, but they always accept and save marraige. Why not change the attitude, maybe it's equal for children. If a family have more arguement,flight,which will affect the children's spirit, and affect their children's growing up too.

Its probably because of financial problems. Usually a woman gets married to a rich guy and steal all his money. I also think that woman who divorce young are people who married too early not thinking of what they will do. Marrying at 18. Are you serious}??? Ofcourse their love wont last forever.

This is a reason to cause the divorce too. when they are so younger, they don't know what the happiness is, the woman think rich is than other things, when she is rich, she will realize she isn't happy,and she require to get more.Then she gets greedy, and ask divorce to get her happiness.

I think the reason for the divorce rate is getting higher is because there are no jobs as well as no money and that on its own causes arguements all the time without any other problems that come along.Other reasons are that some people are working alot of hours to be able to pay all the bills and never get to see their partners so they argue when they do see each other.People also get married too quick as well as too young and do not know what the other person is truely like until they have lived with them for a while.

This is one reason cause divorced. It also depend on what person is, I saw some one couples, though they don't have money to pay the bills, but they can tried to their best work together to support life, though they are not rich, but they are happy too. Sometimes, money isn't a good thing for some families.

It simply means more and more people are getting way above what is customary. Many are becoming more independent and wanted to enjoy life even after marriage. They realized that married will bind them with their happiness and sometimes they seek even more happiness outside marriage. Its a sad fact really that all of us have to face. Also, younger couple are immaturely unprepared about the sanctity of marriage these days. And since divorce is legal in some countries, some would think that its like buying a pair of shoes and when one doesn't like it anymore, one can easily throw it in the garbage.

In my own opinion, divorce rates gets higher and higher because the couples these days gets married immediately when they are in the height of falling in love. I think time is a great test to a relationship. The longer you are in a relationship, the more you know each other, the more you can tell if you realy can live with that person your lifetime. Unlike, when you get married immediately, you are still blinded by your infatuations and the tendency is each of the partner shows only the best of him/her to each other. And then, as time goes by, you'll soon discover that you cannot take your partner's weaknesses resulting to a divorce. I think the point is, couples should not take for granted the decision whether to get married or not.

In fact, when they fall in love, they can accept their weakness and defect,because it's the height of falling love, but when they married, through the time pass by, they knew more each other, and they can't accept the partners defects. Eg. The husband don't like to clean and tidy the room, and throw the rubbish on the floow, throw his clothes all over the room, however the wife like the cleaning room, she should clean and tidy for husband everyday, as the time gone, she can't accept his defects any more, then they argue even fight, which cause the family broken eventually.

Its our lifestyle and new media culture which is responsible for all this. New culture and media represented love is like to find a Mr/Miss 100% perfect partner for us and this generation (whom i also belong) is not ready to compromise on anything in relations. This is a universal fact that no body in this world is 100% perfect so when we fall in love we have to accept its lose points also. Now when couples get married and start living together they start finding the lose ends about each other and they are not ready to accept any of them as they were expecting in their minds a Mr/miss 100%. If we love someone we have accept it fully and unconditionally that's what love is. Now in today's world nobody is ready to compromise on anything even on tiny matters they prefer their own views and always expect that the other partner loves him so he will never say no to me. Then they get heart broken and want to go for someone else, in hunt of another Mr perfect but he never exist in reality so this circle keeps rolling on.

They jump into marriage without really thinking about what all is involved. Like its a game that ends. They dont go into it with they attitude of it lasting for life. They dont have a strong relationship. They need to love each other as they do themselves. Its just a lot of work. The job that never ends.

I felt the same too in our modern society. People rush to marriage in a moment of passion. Right after they have their own children, they started to discover each other's weakness, and began to hate each other. No matter how soothing they try to compromise to each other. At the end, they just couldn't be compatible anymore. The same consequence for my friend's marriage. How sad!

When the couples get married, they are younger, the wife is pretty too. When the years passed, the husband think his wife not young and pretty, he started to look for another girl to marry, this is a bad society phenomena, if the wife love her husband, divorce is not fair for the wife. Because she spent her young times to her husband, but get the bad result. What happened? Is wrong for the wife?

Recently I was surprised to see a large number of divoces happening in Pakistna. I was under the impression its not happening here. But meeting with few ladies changed my idea. Sometimes the couples are not talking when they dont feel like, or when one of the member is too busy with him/herself that they dont want to notice the love of the other. Its easier to say that you will find love again but in practical its really difficult.

hi,bettydeng! I think it because people's minds have changed and they cherish happiness of their own more than before. of course everyone has rihgt to pursue his or her own happiness,but I just doubt that whether end a unhappy marriage is a guarentee way to begin a happy marriage. I mean the world we are living in is definitely not perfect,and it is impossibe for our spouses and marriage to be perfect.so I think a marrige enter into a hard time,the couple should first consider what they can do to better the situation,rather than how to end it as soon as possible.if the family can remain stable,it is very helpful for the growing of the children. well,have a nice day!

I agree you, the people's life improved much, and the people's minds changed so much, when the times of my parents, they married together was not they fallen in love each other, even they only met one time to marry, it's incredible. But now people require much things, eg. happpiness,fortune, house etc. In my personal opinion, happiness is important than fortune, if the marriage can't keep longer, I need to consider the chirldren's growing up.

Hi, You are right, divorce is really a deep hurt for children but parents do not bother them when they decide to divorce. in fact love is very essential to live a happy married life. And both must be honest with each other. The end of love results in divorce.

i think that people change when their responsibilities becomes a burden on dem so their mutual understanding gets reduced and they try to run away from their reponsibilities and find a simplest way to solve it. which is nothing other than divorce......

For this reason, I thik if the couples don't have children, it's a easiest way to resolve, however if they have their children, they need to consider their responsibility and burden first, it will be fair for their children.

I think there are a number of reasons contributing to divorce these days. Firstly, I have seen sooooo many people getting married young- I predict they will get a divorce in the years to comebecause they jumped into marriage before letting out all thier youthful energy. Plus with all the financial stuff we have today, its really easy for couples to get caught up in money.

Some couples don't have goal after marriage, if a family don't have a goal, it will fail.

I think the reason divorce rate is higher is because people lack commitment in our day and age. The moment things get hard, they give up. Where as in the past when marriages got hard, they worked on it and through it together. But there isn't enough commitment to each other to work through the hard issues.

For me, getting married is not proof of a true love. They were just lack of contentment. That was the real thing. People do really change but I don't accept it when it comes to love. Just a comment of what I think!

I dn't think divorce is a good way to solve problems. But when couples can't stay together anymore after many efforts, divorce might be the best way to release eache other. Just like my mom and dad, they have problems with each other and they are not happy, which makes us unhappy too. It's so frustrated that I can't help nothing when looking my mom unhappy. She always complains abt how my dad treated her, how hard she is, etc. And she doesn't want a civorce. All those problems between them are breaking us dowm.
