Why are sooo many people getting married and divorced nowadays?? What has been lost over the years? Are parents not making it a big deal to talk about love and marriage with there children? Or is it society??

A little column A a little from column B. Problem is now days people either get married cause they have kids or kids on the way, or they get married without really knowing the person they are marrying. Society as a whole has accepted divorce as common and as an accepted practice. TV sensationalizes it in shows, soap operas and tabloids of celebrity lives. Children grow up with divorce all around them. If people just thought it out before they made the leap and get pregnant or married straight out of high school they would realize that either A they don't like the person that much after they've seen the other fish in the sea, or B they would rather have that person than the other fish in the sea. I waited almost 4 years before I got married, we lived together for almost 3 of it. Will I ever get divorced? No, I can say that because my husband and I know how to communicate with each other, we don't bottle things up until they burst. We are so much on the same wavelength that we know what the other is thinking most of the time. Do we smother each other? No we both have our own social lives and social lives together with friends. Will that mean there will never be trouble in our relationship? No, but it does mean that we know how to work through it, I refuse to become just another statistic.

To begin with I think that people do not let God chose their spouse, they tend to fall in and out of love like the changes in the weather, and yes I believe that parents do have to teach their children not to take their vows lightly, but all too many times children come from from broken homes, kids today are in too big of hurry to grow up, with no real role models its no wonder marriage are on the rocks.
And not everyone marries for love. Some marry for money. Some marry because they got pregnant. Some marry because they are lonely. I There are a few that marry for love, true love doesn't fade, but sometimes people think that the grass is greener on the other side and break their marriage vows.
And when they do get a divorce and find out what it's like, they're not very happy about their decision. We have certainly become a throw away society when it comes to marriage. People don't stick to their wedding vows anymore because it's too easy to get out of the marriage.

Well we live in a society where Divorce is common and people are being raised up in single parent homes. Some people get married to soon . On the other hand back in the day people stayed in bad marriages that were abusive because it was unacceptable to get a divorce. Many women where battered and cheated on and treated like property and that is now unacceptable in today's world so maybe the divorce rate being higher is a good thing...who knows?

I think it's because it has become too easy and too mainstream to run away from your problems. There is no real honor left in staying and fighting for your marriage and working your problems out. People don't feel any responsibility. If things are hard, they get out. And since "everyone is doing it" there is no shame in divorcing. It some ways it seems like people look at marriage the same way as just dating. In dating, you can always break up. If you get married, you can just divorce...might as well try it out. It's sad. People should learn to work for things. If it's not worth fighting for, you shouldn't get married in the first place.

I think it has a lot to do with people not taking enough time to get to know someone well. Now a days it's all about sex, before marriage and not so much with getting to know someone internally.

People seem to be finding it harder to stay faithful, or they give up trying when small problems come along, it seems that people no longer feel that their relationship is worth fighting for, so they let it go rather than make the effort to improve the situation
