Yes, however I think that they are stabilizing, and have not grown as much as they have in the past. The have increased because people have gotten married without thinking things through. People are marrying on impulse. We live in such a throw away society, that people get married too young, too fast, too soon, and want a quick remedy to solve it. Nobody wants to work harder than they need to, especially on a relationship. People are so busy living for wants, that they forget that they need to communicate, and take the time to develop and strenghthen their relationships. If things don't fall into place right away, they just want to quit and take the easy way out. Because society is evolving, and rapidly changing, we are losing our values, customs, and loyalty. Although it is a seperate entity onto itself, church and religion is not a major factor as it once was in our lives. There are many people out there that are getting married more than once, because they marry for the first time out of infatuated love, and then the second time, for companionship and longevity.
On the other hand, because we have seen the effects of marriage and divorce on kids; we are waiting longer to get married, and living with our partners rather than legalizing the living situation. Another factor is that people that come from broken homes, are afraid to jump into marriage as quickly as their parents were.
As society continually changes, so does this answer. We never stop changing as individuals, thus sometimes we move on, get divorced, work on our marriages, work with our partners. And sometimes, we work because we want to keep our commitments.

Hi and 'yes' I do feel that the divorce rate is increasing. I believe that the main reason would be the economy and the pressure it places on the home front such as these mortgages falling as they are. A lot of home owners are losing their homes due to financial problems and the inflation. Secondly I believe that more women get involved with the wrong individual to marry and more family disputes arise and women get divorces due to these situations and not remarry. They have become more independent. Also the indifferences of employment between the husband and wife. One becomes jealous of the others job per say to where arguments arise and end up in divorce. There are so many factors that could be the reason on the issue of divorce but yes I feel that the divorce rates are on the rise. Unfortunately. Have a great day!

No, why? Well just look at the statistics. The rates of divorce have decreased since the 1980s. Why do I think this is? Well, less people are getting married. Marriage is not necessary for life or family.
Hell, the only reason I got married was because my family is too traditional and it was expected of me. I would rather let my family keep their ideals and make them happy than admit I was living with my husband for 3 years before our wedding. Oh and the gifts were great too! My husband only did it because he believes common law marriage to be low class.
Marriage doesn't mean commitment anymore. Commitment can be done without marriage. Many of the legal and social benefits of marriage can be obtained through common law marriage and certain legal agreements.

a million. No. greater everybody is staying positioned. because of the fact there is not a lot determination accessible anymore, in many aspects. 2. No. Stupidity isn't constrained with the help of age. 3. None of your organisation. 4. while the two occasion consciously determines to refuse to love another unconditionally. 5. None of your organisation. 6. i've got on no account considered it. 7. the two events get the divorce, in spite of if or not they like it or not. A husband does not stay married while a spouse instigates a divorce and vice versa. Does it relatively matter selection, then? 8. No. Love is the only "answer". Divorce is the effect of a loss of the answer. 9. B. human beings without non secular perception get the perfect same divorces for the perfect same motives as non secular human beings do. loss of affection. 10. None of your organisation. 11. i spotted you probably did not share your individual very own suggestion right here. till you do, i will maintain mine to myself.

Yes they are increasing. It is too easy to get a divorce now adays. It is so hard to stay married in today's time. It is so hard to find time to breathe these days especially if kids are involved. People have found an outlet to just sign a paper and give up than to work it out. It just sounds so good sometimes to just start over.

Divorce rates are up. Trying to blend families is hard. When you take 2 people who have been married and/or have children, there are more problems then people realize going in. We live in a society of quick fixes and fast food, and instant gratification. Why work at something when you can get a new one? Unfortunately this seems to be our attitude toward marriage.

Yes. I think people give up to easily. The 1st few years are very tough and marriage is always a work in progress. We have also seen more instances of alcohol abuse, drug abuse , and physical abuse! I would never recommend that someone stay with an abuser. Ive seen my daughter become a shadow of her former self after only 4 years with an abuser!!! Morals have also become alot looser than they were in the past. More cheating going on.

As a divorce attorney, I can tell you this much. The level have remained pretty much the same over the past few years. But all of us attorneys in this area of law are hoping that gay marriage will become legal so that we can get even more clients.

While technecally the numbers and precentages of divorce are higher than say, 15-20 years ago, the actual rate is going down because fewer people are getting married
