divorce too frequent?

Question

in this day and age is divorce all too common

Answer 1

Absolutely! Everyone is so hung up on the wedding and not the marriage. I also think that people have gotten really selfish and many adults just don't want to grow up anymore. So when they reach that point where they have kids and they are "settled down", instead of finding ways to enjoy those moments, they selfishly go through a life-crisis and want to be out dating again, feeling young, getting that instant gratification of someone liking them. I think that is really sad and pathetic.

People also just want to quit easily instead of putting in the hard work it would take to work things out. Marriage has turned into a circus, it's a fun thing to do, it makes people feel important, somehow instead of being an honorable union, it becomes someone's selfish day all about them. After the marriage, when it's no longer all about them, and it's about working as a team, couples flounder. The women want to spend all of their man's money that he works for, and then when he is struggling to bring home enough for her shopping sprees and asks her to do her part by not buying so much, she thinks he's a loser and quits on him. And he might feel like a loser too. Now to bash men in the picture, their wife runs around taking care of those kids and he just wants to go ride his motorcycle with his friends, and while his wife has gotten fat now, instead of lifting her up and building up her confidence and encouraging her to lose some weight, he goes and finds some younger woman to have an affair with. Someone without kids who'll ride on his motorcycle with him. This just makes his wife feel worse about herself, and the man just quits.

Married couples need to remember that they are on the same team, they are now family, they will fight against the world together and unified. They shouldn't be competing with one another or abandoning one another on the playing field...

People need to grow up.

Answer 3

divorces are too common so what is the point of gettin married now a days. If you are wiling to get married you would do anything for the other person and stay with them till death comes and tears yall apart. But no everyone wants to divorce. MY parents got a divorce and it wasn't the worst thing that happened because they was already seperated but its just the fact that they should be two mature adults who can't put aside their differences in order to keep their kids happy and family together.

Answer 4

Not at all... what IS too frequent is people getting married without real commitment (they say they are, but when it gets tough, they want out, that's not committed). People shouldn't get married without knowing that there WILL BE times when there is nothing good about it and you might only be staying because of the promise and you have to be willing to WORK through those times... work, not like making a birdhouse, like scraping out the walls of a septic tank, drudgery... And you are supposed to be marrying this person because they are the only person you could ever find who you would scrape out a septic tank for... not theoretically, the person you would actually scrape out septic tanks for every day without thanks or pay... When you love someone that much, marry them and don't forget how you felt because the "septic tank" times will come... people get married without that type of commitment and get divorced... divorce isn't the problem, marriage without real commitment is...

Answer 5

The system allow for easy divorces. Its easy to get married and just as easy to get a divorce. I think if you have some type of education program in place or requirement for marriage , It would show some people they are not ready for the task financially and mentally.

Answer 6

Everyone forgets about the line in their vows for better or worse. Yes, I think young people run too quickly to their lawyers and get divorced. Nobody wants to try to work things out any more. And when they do go to get divorced they go right for the jugular too.

Answer 7

Yes. Too many treat it like an easy out, instead of working through their problems. Everything is workable, as long as both parties are willing. But, I've seen things work out with only one person desiring to keep things going. I'm proof that it works. It's easy to cut & run, but it takes courage, determination and a willingness to say you were wrong and want to change. <*)))><

Answer 8

Yes it is. When couples face hardship, instead of working through the problems, they just get the quick fix - a divorce.

Answer 9

I think so. Perhaps we don't really know each other well enough before we marry. Or maybe we haven't learned good ways to resolve conflict or communicate before we walk down the aisle. My parents have been married for 62 years and have weathered many, many storms together. IWe should ask them about this issue!

Answer 10

Yes, but it all goes hand and hand.
Marriage, that also happens too frequently.
As well as falling in and out of love so quickly and frequently.
All of which results in a very IMPATIENT society.
We hit a "ME" attitude period, and have never moved out of that era.
