It is reported that More than half of marriages in the developed countries ends up in Divorce. What contribute to this disturbing phenomenon? Interestingly the conservative countries have a lower score on this. Do you feel that there is lot of resentment there?

I feel the main cause for divorce is lack of communication, before and during the marriage. People tend to rush into things or get married for the wrong reasons, to the wrong people. It's really sad. I only want to get married one time, so I'm not even going to say "yes" unless I know that's the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.

communication plays a vital role here.But it need not help always. especially when you feel the other person is not committed.

A divorce is so easy to get. People marry knowing that if it doesn't work, divorce is an option. Also marriage is work and it takes two people working on the marriage for the marriage to be successful.

i agree with u the very easy laws of getting divorce force most of them to get seperate. they dont cope up with their spouses and hv very low patience.as i think is behind divorce. they dont want to adjust.

Divorce happen when the husband and wife doesn't have good relationship anymore because they lose love for each other. If they are losing communication, it is they are anymore interested to be together forever.

Divorce now is more than before maybe this is because that there is no love like the past and every one is busy by his life so that there is no communication or interests that make people understand each other every one now is searching how to get money to live and doesn't think in thier family or kids or how to be happy with eachother this is our new fast life.

I believe that cheating and not being able to get alon are the major causes for divorce. Everybody does not get along all the time. If it's not ment to be it won't be nomatter what people want to try.

I do not have any ststistics to support my opinion here, however i feel the basic reason for any divorce is the incompatability either physical or psychological. While one may be able to judge the former compatability during your courtship or dating days the latter is an intricate phenomenon that varies from relationship to relationship. The attitude and approach of a living in couples and married people differs. The freedom and security comeds into picture here. After marriage many a time couples take many things for granted and that slowly leads to repulsion. The woman who used to be attractive and aggressive in physical relationships slowly becomes passive or more family and children oriented leaving enough scope for the husband to flirt.On the other hand once married men take their spouse for granted and the result is same. communication ,mutual understanding , genuine love and compassion makes a family bonded for each other for life.

must have been cheating, miscommunication, mistrust and disrespect. i think all of this causes the wife and the husband to divorce themselves into their marriage!

For me the major cause of divorce is lack of trust to each other. Without these, any relationship will led to divorce. Loyalty and honesty also contributes to this, if these factors are not present then it will be goodbye for the couple.

divorce is not a solution in my view. if there is no love so marriage is useless relationship. for divorce is too many causes now days. maif cause is affaire, if there is no love, not mutual understanding, faith, respect, & too many words are may be caused for a vivorce. main theme is that every words r need in a marriage life. if these words r not in his right way or in accurate percentage then divorce word comes in a life........ & they have to divirce is right decession.

Most often is monetary in nature where each party suffers more of their financial as they live together due high standards with low income rates. This forces them to fight most often.

Major cause of divorce is growing intolerence towards other people be it spouce, children parents. People carelessly choose a partner because they know that they have a remedy in divorce if the marriage dosent work out. So

The main causes of divorce are refusal to adapt and let one's spouse be who they are, and no ability to compromise. Marriage is a merger, not a takeover. Neither one gets their way all the time .. in fact, it has to move from MY way to OUR way.
