Does it have to do anything with the switched roles of men and women ?

I believe it's because it's not the sacred cow it used to be. If your not happy in a relationship you move on, whether you made that life long commitment, or not.

So many women work outside the house nowdays. So its easier to become dissatisfied and to find a guy to cheat with. So many people get married for the wrong reasons, and in today's world, divorce is ok and normal. People marry hoping to change their partner, and when they can't they divorce and do it again. Marriage isn't sacred anymore. People used to stay married just because divorce was a dirty title noone wanted to be labelled with. Women don't have to depend on men as much as decades past have. I know many older marriages that stayed together because of finances, not because of love and commitment. Alot of those marriages from decades past, the woman stayed because there were no choices. Guys have to work harder nowdays to make a relationship work, and they don't know how. Too many of us women were raised in broken homes and didn't have the role model of a happy working marriage to learn from. So its alot of trial and rror. Alot of miscommunication. And nowdays, people don't want mediocre. Its all or nothing. So if it gets hard, here come the divorce proceedings. I think it takes commited people to stay married nowdays, kinda like it takes a committed person to stay a virgin till marriage. Its so easy to give up, and so hard to keep the marriage working correctly. So basically, yeah, women working outside the home has contributed to the divorce rate. Some positively (getting away from abusive men, taking care of themselves, not feeling trapped), some negatively (higher female infidelity, kids raised by daycare, less interest in kids' schooling, more selfishness in both partners).

It's because two many people won't work at their relationship. They think it's easier to walk away then to work at it. Marriage is a 24 hour job you have to work at it. You take the good with the bad. Their are times when divorce is better. A lot of marriages could be saved if the two just sat down and talked things out. Communication is very important, but some how that has been left out in a lot of relationships.

Many think it's easier to walk away,instead of working through the problems that arise. Many decide they enjoy being single instead,so they can go out or have sex with others. Getting with a married person is appealing to many, not caring who gets hurt. Some men or women are becoming selfish only caring about what they desire and want,not their spouses.Many view the vows as til we don't want to be together anymore instead of til death do us part. Cheating is happening more often,by men and women. Now it is easier to meet others of the opposite sex because of the net, instead of close to home. Read on here and other sites of a spouse finding out or losing a mate because of meeting someone online.Also physical abuse is causing some of it. It isn't the marriage it's the people not committing to each other for life.
Marriage is sacred. It is meant to last til death. Having God and spirituality in a marriage strengthens it.

I feel between the husband and wife one should have own definition of relationship, understanding and morals.. No hard and fast rules to follow between the two as long as the things makes one feel good... True love can bring good feeling for once partner and if one can maintain that for whole life.. i don't see any problem keeping together the relationship... I feel we have too many strict belief on morality, infidelity, cultural issues over the understanding, being human to feel on something good..

It has more to do with men not accepting women's shift of role.They are far stereotypical compared to women even now.On the surface they want their wives to be brilliant,financially independant and educationally well qualified.On the other hand they want the same attention,stereotyical works and housework,kids inlaws duties to be done by women,not withstanding their needs and psychological state,the tensions they face at the workplace.

No I think it's because of people giving up and not wanting to work to fix what is wrong. (or at least try to fix)
