Why are people getting divorced so easily in our society nowadays? What causes it ?

Answer 1

This is just my personal opinion...People today get married without really knowing the person they are marrying. Most of these people don't even know who they truely are or what they truely want yet, so how can they know someone else...Two, too many people go into marriage saying, "Well, I can always get a divorce." It has become socially acceptable, and sadly expected. Three, people get married thinking it will solve problems and be easy. Neither statement is true. If you had problems before you got married they will just magnify after you are married. Marriage isn't easy, it is work. Four, people don't communicate. Communication is the key to any relationship and too many people don't know how to communicate with their special someone, or they just don't. All in all there is a lot of reasons.

Answer 2

Why are people geting divorced so easily -
People are getting divorces easily in our society because the government has changed the law to read that you no longer have to wait seven years of separation but just one year of separation to file for a divorce.

The cause - a variety of reasons really. The changes reflect soicety. Case studies and case law which these laws were based on depended on variables such as why should an abused person have to wait for seven years to divorce their partner to why should someone have to wait seven years if they have found the person they want to marry and start a life together with.

Obviously, the governments of the day were sympathetic to the causes and changed the laws.

I've read what everyone else has said and some are partially correct I suppose but everyone has their slant on it.

Bottom line is - if you are looking to society as the cause and saying that we are lazy or we have throw away values then I think that is unfair.

Marriage is like parenting - there is no manual.

We can universally agree on the rules of the road with a manual but we can't agree on how marriages should operate (or parenting for that matter).

Answer 3

Well family morals and values have gone down the toilet in the last 30 years or so, what use to be a badge of shame has become the norm. (divorce) .. Couples stuck it out cause they had to back then, they didnt just up and leave because they didnt like the way someone sneezed .. (sarcastic) Also women arent as dependent on men as they were back when either. The whole structure of the household has gone haywire over the years.. and Men use to be all about work and family they wanted what was best for their family and if they couldnt provide their family properly they were ashamed. Now adays society has gotten lazy as a whole.. sex sells and morals and values are fluffed off.. now a days... people these days people take vows as just words that they say one day in a ceremony, instead of realizing that is a promise that they make to live by every day .. and not just when its convient.. Then u have so many divorced family's, step families, single parent families and the whole family structure is getting worse and worse..and society is going down the tubes for it..

Answer 4

It is because it is more accepted these days. Before when marriages were arranged people knew they had no choice and so they were stuck. It does not necessarily mean they were happy but they worked at it and stayed married. Back then also if a wife was being abused she just had to take it and there was no way out. these days getting a divorce has been made easier and people don't think so badly of you now. I am sure it is still wrong in the eyes of God but as times change so do many things.

Answer 5

Because people don't marry for the right reasons. They get married because this person makes me feel the best I've ever felt. But when that person doesn't make you "feel" as good as they used to, that is the true test of your love and loyalty.

Something everyone should know before getting married;

There will be times when that person you love doesn't look as hot as they once did.

There will be times when you really don't like that other person.

There will be times when you may even feel like you hate that other person.

There will be times when you think you can do it better on your own.

But if you are willing to stick it out and work at it, your marriage can be wonderful and satisfying and you can come out on the other side of those times holding the hand of your best friend and the love of your life.

When you think the other person is a terrible wife/husband take a look at yourself and truthfully ask yourself what kind of wife/husband am I. If you can improve something, do it and your spouse will naturally respond.

p.s. This is for the average run of the mill couple with everyday problems. I am not addressing abusive relationships.

Answer 6

I would guess that it is because alot of people jump into marriage. I dated my wife for abot 4 years and than lived with her for a year before we got married. We are going on 9 years of marriage now and we really know each other well. We also waited about another 4 years before having kids to make sure our careers were in order. I think if every one followed these guidelines it would reduce the divorce rate by at least 60%.

Answer 7

I do think that divorce is used alot in this day and age, but coming from someone going through a divorce, it is not always about giving up and running away. My husband was useless as a parent, provider, lover, etc. I stayed with him for 8 years to try and make it work. Bottom line is that he was never going to change. There are many "deal breakers" in a marriage. Things that cant be fixed or changed. There is no reason to stay in a miserable marriage and ruin the rest of your life. I had to get out for myself and my daughter. Is it fair for your child to grow up in an unloving household, and learn the wrong ways of how to be married. NOPE!

Answer 8

Marriage on impulse and lust. Both parties find that they cant live with each other after the sweet "honeymoon" period as they discover each other's little habits which they may not be able to tolerate. Being financially independent, both decide to go their own way. Sometimes, when the give and take limit has been reached, both "time bombs" explode and conflicts. I only pity the kids who are the most innocent parties when their parents divorce.

Answer 9

why not get a divorce if your not in love and the relationship is dead.... do you really want to go back to the old days when it was almost imposable to get a divorce if you didn't have enough money or you had to pay for a snoop to get "evidence" come on the days of staying together for the kids is long gone and so it should be , I have seen many kids suffer because the parents stayed together ...very unhappy and then they take it out on the kids .... so what better

Answer 10

because some people don't feel like putting in the effort to make it work any more. some people think it's no big deal, because it's so easy to just file for a divorce, and many people are doing it. sometimes people are afraid of worse conflict and don't know where to turn anymore. divorce is dumb, in my opinion.
