I wish my first marriage could have ended in divorce....it just was SO incompatible and I didn't know she was a lesbian in disguise until almost 15 years had passed!

After being married for 2 years, for some people the spark they once had has gone. Not every marriage mind you... but that's the way it is for some. Some marriages last for 30, 40 years or more, and then out of the blue there's a need for a change. Sometimes people just get along. Maybe they get married to quick without really getting to know each other first, and after they are married for a while, they think, oh crap ! What have I done! It's not just the men, but the women too.

Every marriage does not end in divorce. I read a statistic recently and the number, as best I recall, was a little less than half of marriages ending in divorce.
I have been married twice and my wife wanted to end the first marriage (grass was greener on the other side of the fence). My second wife died after 20 years together.
I do think that far too many marriages end in divorce due to many factors - unrealistic expectations being at the forefront. It seems to me that it is always easier to run away than to work at the things in life that really matter. People say that they work very hard at their jobs. I say good; now work really hard at your marriage.
I do think that there are valid reasons to divorce, but the no-fault divorce has made it too simple and too mechanical.

I know many marriages that are going very well..many over 20 or even 30 years.
Look at how many wives want divorces on here, its not just men.
In general I think the high divorce rate (though going down) is a result of self centered people who have been brought up in instant gratification and the belief that they have the right to be happy all the time.

Most of us think that we should be happy all the time. We also think that the passion will always be there and when it's not, we think we have fallen out of love and need to move on.
The truth is that NO ONE is happy all the time and that passion in a long term relationship comes and goes in a repeating cycle.
Another problem is that a lot of people marry thinking their partner will change for the better after the vows have been spoken. Then they become disappointed when they realize that their spouse is the same person they were before the marriage.
Beyond that, a lot of strife in marriage is due to financial issues and different priorities. People really need to examine a potential mates views on EVERYTHING from housework to finances to child rearing philosophy before getting married.

well not every marriage ends after 2 years some make it. some do end early becasue they marry early and young. if yo uare under 25 you should not be allowed to marry. let me tell you why. if you are 18 you graduate from high school then you go to college, graduate from college at 22 or 23 then it takes about 2 years to find a good stable job and then you are ready to find a spouse. before then you are risking it to get married and having it end in divorce. you peoplewho get married are trying to grow up too fast. why not wait and then see if you still love each other after the high school,and after college...................good luck.

Only those that weren't meant to be. I've been married 18 years honey and I've learned that in marriage, you only get out of it what you are willing to put into it. In this day and age, divorce is so much easier than taking the time to work through our problems, so people opt for the easy way out. Two people who marry for the right reasons...become one force will go through hell and high water to see it through to the rocking chair years. If you don't want to be one of those statistics, choose your partner carefully. Be willing to give as well as take, and then be willing to love without conditions. Like I said, you'll only get out of it what you put into it.
I hope this isn't your situation. And if it is, I wish you luck on your new journey.

Because they think it is going to be easy. Marriage is not easy it is work every day of your life. You have to work at it to keep it strong and going and most people put more energy into their jobs, kids, etc. instead of there spouse. People need to be more realistic when they say I do and remember they are saying it for better or worse! But the worse comes and they bail out instead of working through it. Life is a roller coaster ride with ups and downs, twists and turns and you have to ride through it!
