Increasing Divorce Rate

It’s a thing called compromise that parents used to teach their kids in the older times. I think every man and woman can “match” and reach a common ground from which to take the marriage further. But for that you have to learn to compromise, and that is something we, the new gen. , are incapable of doing. I think the room for compromise in love marriages is less since expectations are already built up. I am sure if you were to do a study of divorce rates among desi marriages, you would find it to be signifiantly higher in the case of love marriages.

Actually, in all the cases I heard of just recently, they were arranged marriages.

I think part of the problem is that the two families look at what is good for THEM instead of the two children getting married.
