Most people nowadays are filing for divorce especially the females {sorry to say}. Is it because of the lack of marital solution from the government, financial difficulty amongst the copules or divorce has been made simple to file for nowadays? What are your opinion about this issue? What can the government do to solve this problem?

Three main things couples argue about. Money, sex and how to raise the kids. All circle around the ability or lack there of to communicate.
When there is poor communication then each person in the relationship is not getting the whole story as to why the other feels a certain way. Some times it is due to an incompatibility.
However everything I have seen indicates that most often the problem starts with the building of a relationship and how and why people get married.
Many people today are looking for their "soul mate" and expect that once they find that one perfect person that those strong feelings will last forever. As time passes and things cool to a low simmer, each is left wondering what went wrong?
What many fail to understand is that a successful marriage takes more than true love and passion. It takes a lot of hard work and compromise. That there will be good days as well as some very hard ones.
I think that today too many people go into marriage with rose tinted glasses and when they get around to taking them off they feel cheated. Once needs are not being filled then the hard felt person will start to look some place else to fill those needs. Booze, Computer games, Social groups, Affairs.
It's a tragic cycle, and most people don't seem to want to see where any fault could be theirs. That's mostly human nature.

The government? Nothing they can do. It's a society thing. People are far less likely to settle nowdays and will leave if the going gets too tough. It's about choice. In the past women were less able to work and society frowned on divorce and people were more religious. Take those things away and it offers people an alternative to an unhappy life.
Finance is a factor yes, but only in the sense that it can cause strains if there's not enough of it to go round, kids, housing etc etc... but life is expensive and I don't see how that can be easily overcome.

Whjen two people do not have similar vioewpoints and are not ready to make any adjustments, the tendency to go for seperate ways emerge. Well looking an unhappy life as a couple is difficult, but at the same time if the marriage has children then one should consider carefully before opting for a divorce. The government has got counsellors and all, in some cases they do help reslove the issue in others they are ineffective.

I don't think that the government can do anything to resolve a problem between two people. I think that there are lots of reasons why a relationship doesn't work, but from the people that I know who have been through divorces, the reason is that one person in the marriage stops trying. One person can't hold it all together and it falls apart. I don't think that making divorce harder to get will change anything, I think teaching people wbout how to make a relationship work before they get married might make a difference.

I don't think that it has anything to do with the government.. I got divorced because the son of a gun lied to me... did drugs and stole my money... I had to raise two boys while he did what he felt like with his check... mine was extremely limited...
Values of up bring and understanding that the man in a marriage is a two way road not my way only... Too many women struggle because the husband wants to be the one in control and do what they please.. Women are now getting stronger and leaving those stupid people.... Abuse is a big issue both physically and mental...
It would help if it was easier to file for divorce but unfortunately it is not.... Should the government step in well maybe to make it more affordable and if children in the picture to force the other parent to pay and not be so tolerant to the other parent's choice, that would be something to look into..

Answer: Although I agree with Tinker ~ regarding your assumption, the reason for Marital Breakdown is 'People.'
It's not up to the Government to provide solutions.
If it isn't working, then it isn't working. Counselling might help, but then it's not the role of counsellors to help save marriages either (their role is to help couples find what they really both want and to help them find a way to achieve it).
People are amazingly 'BAD' at communicating ~ and hence the Main reason (In my opinion) for why there is a large Casualty Rate in Marriage / Partnerships.

It's not the Government's place to "solve" marriage breakdown.
I think societal attitude has alot to do with it.
While I would never support the old attitude that you married for life and put up with rape/abuse/infedielity, I think the modern attitude of "you can get divorced if it doesn't work out" isn't that great either.
We need a middle ground where marriage is seen as a cherished commitment, and for each partner to "behave" and respect and work at things!
