Every single person I know has divorced parents, or their parents are separated, fighting to almost the point of divorce.

Because in society it is the way of life now. Lots of cheating spouses out there cannot blame them for leaving. Lots of physical, emotional,verbal abuse cannot blame them for leaving either. Just because you are not getting along there are ways to over come that one you can seek help and try to work it out. I know a couple who were married for 51 years very unhappy husband cheated, hit her,verbally abused her, and was a child molester. She stayed with him until he died. Now that is a question why would someone not get a divorce after all of that?

There are many reasons for people getting a divorce. Some of them are:
>incompatibility of the partners--can't get along, can't talk without fighting and making each other miserable
>abuse from one or both partners in ne or many ways
>unhappiness no matter how much the marriage is worked on by one or both partners. It takes two to make it work. If only one tries and the other gives up, then it won't work.
>one or both partners is/are cheating. This will break up a relationship pretty fast once it is discovered.
There are other reasons, but these seem to be the main ones. I know that the reason I left and divorced my ex husband was because of his lying, cheating, abusing me, his kids, and others, his use and abuse of drugs, and other things. I don't think that people 'plan' to get divorced, but things happen between them, or one of them does things to the other, and the marriage breaks down. IF people were choosier about who they married, really and truly got to know each other (living together before hand can help with this), and other things, then there may not be as many divorces, at least in my opinion.

I think that nowadays marriage is no big deal to people. The vows are good for the moment, but at the first sight of problems, they hitail it out of the marriage. People look at it no differently than just a relationship...not a life long commitment, not for better or worse, not till death do us part. Marriage is just for the moment nowadays, and its really sad because a marriage is something that is honorable, and is a life long commitment, and it should be treated with the utmost respect and honor. I think its really sad what has happened, i miss the good ol days.
Hope that helps...

If it cost as much to get divorced as it costs to get married more people would stay married. It only cost about $500 to get a divorce so if your not happy why go to a counselor when it costs less to get a divorce.

either infidelity, or not happy with themselves or their mate. could be that they are just tired of each other and have no flame left. maybe don't know how to deal with the hard times and want to get out of it faster and easier. the thickness was too much to cut it. and the illness was not death fast enough. lot of people have lots of reasons. like right now my 18yr old is trying to divorce from being my son :)

Seems like everyone is cheating on their spouse nowadays, whether it is the man or the woman. On top of that, the concept of marriage has changed.....I would argue in some good ways but also in some bad ways.

Because most people these days would rather move on than work out the problems they have. I feel that if your not willing to do everything possible to solve your problems and work things out then you shouldnt get married in the first place. You get married for better or worse.

people do not want to bend or give up anything and with marriage you have to comprimise alot and give up stuff.
Yet if one gives up alot and the other gives up almost nothing that will not work well either
