I guess I am basing this question on the fact that they are more single moms than there ever used to be...so I am assuming that people are not getting along too well.. i am a bit biased to the perception that couples and marriages in general are not as happy as they used to be .......or can you think of any good answer
one more thing is it neccessary for one of the partners to stay home for the marriage to be successfull in general......

Society has changed. Divorce is not as taboo as it used to be, it is easier to get a divorce than it was, and people don't want to work at thier relationships. All relationships take work and peole think that marriage is supposed to be like the movies or a fairy tale.... In general, people need to grow up!

well I think basically couples give up too quickly and they are not willing to work on their marriages. Its not always going to be sunny days nut you get through them and work out the kinks. The sanctity of marriage and the pure moral aspect of marriage has been tossed aside and people take the easy way out. Another contributing factor is that many people get married very young when they have not had the chance to grow up and figure things out. What you want out of life at 18 will be very different at 25, so I think you have to know yourself a little more before you jump into any kind of long term commitment with anyone.
I don't think you need one person in the house, but I do think you need and understanding of what each persons role is and respect that. There is nothing wrong with having both parents work, but there has to be cooperation and come up with a system that works for you.
Hope this helps :)

It is not necessary for one person to stay at home in order for the marriage to be a happy one. The main missing ingredient in several relationships is COMMUNICATION. People do not talk their problems out and just assume that the problems are going to work themselves out and they only end up getting worse. Also, people sometimes think that with the addition of children the relationship will improve which is WRONG.

Well, i would say the reason for a higher divorce rate is because it is not looked down on like it used to be, plus people now-a-days marry for the wrong reason. i.e. i guy has a girl, only like her because she has sex with him, he gets her pregnant, has a change of heart (wants to do the Godly thing and be married, starts out cool, realizes later after spending more time with her why he only wanted sex from her, and probably after many arguments later... cheating comes in to play, and eventually divorce. I dont think it really takes someone to stay at home, but i think there has to be a lot of communications and shared responsiblity.

If you ask me, when someone told women they had a right to make choices, they think they have too make choices, and I am not that bad really. It isnt one thing, but some of the big ones are people lie to the person there dating, right out the gate, about who they are and what they want. They think happily ever after mean happy all the time, and people think more about them selves then they think about who they are with. And then money and everybody want to be a superstar.....basiclly they don't have faith in anything, and are scared to work thru tough times

The divorces are increasing because there is no committment, when couples get married. Who said that being married was easy? In a marriage you have to learn to accept the other human being for who he/she is, with his/her past (baggage). If there is love, committment and tolerance towards each other, then this marriage will have a good probability of remaining together. The world has no tolerance, no committment and sometimes they don't even love themselves, then how can they love another person. DIVORCE = NO TOLERANCE, NO COMMITTMENT, NO LOVE.

Mostly because people don't want to go thru making the effort to make it work instead they just throw there hands up and say lets get a divorce.
Personally I would try before giving up so easily.

The "me generation" has caused a lot of people to think that the world owes them something. When the relentless pursuit of happiness fails to make people happy, they abandon ship and pursue happiness elsewhere. It's a vicious cycle of insanity.

because of lack of understanding....love is wrongly interpreted as physical relationship only...these are the main reasons.
