Re: Factors behind increasing divorce rates.
divorce rates are on the rise (in our culture) for many reasons.
women have now realized that it is ok to get a divorce from (as sara mentioned) a monster and they dont have to live their life in misery.
women have realized that they dont need a man (they are unhappy with) to survive in todays world.... that they will do just fine without him..that they can work and be independent and make a life of their own (with or w/o kids).
couples think that divorce is a solution to all their marital problems. instead of trying to work things out they opt for divorce.
couples just dont have time in todays world to make things work...they are too busy with their careers to make time for each other. (how sad)
divorce should be a last resort for couples.....they should seek divorce ONLY when they have exhausted all other options.
