Why is divorce so common ?

Answer 1

Many people don't realize marriage takes work.

Many people don't leave room for their partners or for themselves to change.

Many people aren't accepting of how their partners have changed.

People are way too quick to kick others to the curb for the slightest glimmer of attraction at another person.

Many people don't know how to work through cheating (it is possible, you know).

A lot of people have no idea how to really trust, respect, or love another person.

Many people give up who they are and what they want for the other person.

Many couples don't take the time to learn how to argue fairly.

I could go on all day.

Answer 2

Because we live in a "throw-away" society today. not to mention people have no communication skills and they look at it as though their relationship is "broken' so rather than put forth the effort to make it work, they don't bother. Its easier to find someone else. So then that one can get screwed up as well.
People think that marriage is all roses and peaches and cream. I feel sorry for the simpleton. To make any relationship work each person has to work at it to keep it going. Concessions have to be made at times and then there are other times you have to put your foot down because the other person did something that crossed the line. As the relationship goes on you both know just how far you can push an issue with the other person and the decision is made to either make the push or settle back and figure that it isn't worth arguing over.
I've never seen so many people base a relationship on just getting laid. Thats it. No communications, no sharing, just getting some action. Just look at what they say. "Ooooo...the sex was/is great". More to it than that little kiddies. If getting laid were all you had to do to keep things running smooth then there would be no divorce.

Answer 3

1. Because people change, and there are people out there that can't accept change.

2. Because they get in a fight, and the fight is too serious to just end.

3. Because *some* people are immature and weren't even ready for marriage when they thought they were.

4. Because they continuously fight and barely ever stop.

5. Because they could handle being around each other once a day but not 24/7.

6. Because they need space, and their spouse isn't giving it to them.

7. Because marriage is the real thing. It's not like dating and saying, "I love you.," without meaning it.

8. Because of mental or physical abuse from somone.

9. Because they grew apart through-out years. Which means they weren't really in love, 'cause with love, there is no growing apart.

10. Because they were immature or too young for marriage.

This is just 10.
By the way, someone said love was a choice....That's ridiculous. Love is NOT a choice. You can't just say 1 day, "I'm going to love that person." If it becomes a choice, then it's not real what-so-ever.

Answer 4

Alot of people don't care anymore. Most people these days divorce for the least little thing. Instead of trying to work things out they instead see a lawyer. Most people these days don't stay married to the same person for life.Alot of times the couple are better off being divorced than being miserable.Alot of people aren't meant to be together. If people would stop marrying the first person who comes along then maybe there wouldn't be so many divorces.

Answer 5

There are variety of answers 1. Adultery, most have a hard time being with one person sexually. 2. Financial troubles 3. Drug or alcohol problems. Most people get into marriage thinking well if it doesn't work we can always get out instead of taking the time to get to know each other. Most people don't have the back bone to stick through the tough times and people create there own dilemmas so one or the other chooses to leave instead of dealing with the situation at hand. I'm not saying divorces are necessary in some cases such as cheating, spousal abuse, drug or alcohol addictions. But this is just my opinion.

Answer 6

I think it's common because people are not willing to put their heart and soul into resolving problems. It seems like "everyone" is getting divorced so if a couple is having problems it's easier just to back out. Also people think you fall in and out of love. Love is a choice! Even though it isn't fun sometimes, or romantic you can still choose to love someone and after you're married, you're with that person forever (at least that's how it's supposed to be). And whether you feel like loving them at the time you need to work through problems or get someone to help you work through your problems. Also a lot of couples think they have to be on the last straw to get marriage counseling, but they don't! If they are having issues that can't be resolved they can get someone who can help.

Answer 7

Because of casual sex before matrimony and "living together", according to the Liberal Code of Insanity.

In olden times, the divorce rate was around 2 per cent and nearly everyone stayed married from their 20's up to about 100 years old if they lived that long.

Liberalism is a mental disorder, and it's programs and social agendas don't work, but rather bring forth harm and destruction upon a society, as well as a great amount of trouble and woe for people throughout the lands it infests.

Answer 8

I think it is so common because people just don't use common sense. You should know someone very well before you decide to commit your lift to them. Most people get all tied up in the excitement of a new relationship that they can't look past it and see what someone will be like 10 or 20 years down the road.

Answer 9

Because people are more selfish these days I think. Most people are not willing to put in the work that it takes, or lay down your pride and give in to the other person.

I also think that with so many options, and technology, and media that people get bored quicker than they used to, and for a quick $300 you could just get rid of the "problem" and not have to deal with it. It sucks.

I'm glad that divorce isn't looked down upon like it used to be, and I am glad it's an option, but more people need to work harder on their marriages out there or not get married if they aren't ready.

Answer 10

People enter into marriage for different reasons but many times it is for the wrong reason. People(girls) are too eager to get married they push men into marriage and then ultimately they divorce.
People need to compromise and ultimately repsect one another before committing to such a thing as marriage.
Dating is good. If I had to do it all over again I would not be married. It is hard work. I have been married 10 years and even though I love my spouse, I would rather just date him. It would have complicated things less.
