Why the divorce ratio in christian countries so high!!!!

Actually, the Catholic church is the richest organization on the planet. They get their funding from the donations of their worshippers so that should give you a bit of an idea how many people go to church. Just try to drive past a church on Sunday mornings after Mass, the traffic jams are crazy.

Filipinos are a very poor people. And many find themselves stuck in their situations for good or bad, as in most poor countries.

When a population is enabled, there is much less reason to remain in abusive or unhappy marriages.

It's more of a cultural thing rather than a religious thing.

I have Desi Christian friends and they are as family orientated as us.

Western society is hedonistic and selfish, everyone thinks of themselves first rather than their children, family, society etc. and that's not neccesarily a good thing.

Relationships are a joke which are formed and broken on impulse, they are not sacred over here like they are in the east.

People should have the right to end their relationships if there's major problems but they should at least try to make it work and not break up at the drop of a hat.

We from the East, whether we be Muslim, Hindu or Christian we sacrifice, we compromise but in the west it's "mein bhi Raani, tu bhi Raani kaun bhare ga paani".

I am not slagging the west off, they are much better than us in many many ways, for example the things Aussindian mentioned and we should follow them in those things, but they also have their faults and we should not ape them in everything.

75% of my white class mates lived with one or less of their biological parents.

There's just no warmth like we see in Desi families.

Aagreed...but it waz with the refernce of Cristians in Western countries.

It is not a Christian or Muslim issue. The West has separated the state from religion. they are now secular countries with soem nods to religion.

Re: Why the divorce ratio in christian countries so high!!!!

its not the religion but a person's deed....!

Even then in west christians are largely 'family oriented'.

Majority still marries and wants to have a family.

Like most people are saying divorce rate has nothing to do with religion.

One can say many christians do not follow their religion strictly since christianity is much more strict against divorce than islam.

What nosherwan pointed out is a cultural issue.

very true....so when we say "cristian countries" it must not include only religious identity but cultural tendcies too..for sure no religion cant be a reason to destabilize a human institution ...no religion contradicts with devine rules to protect family system...even religion may help duysfunctional marriages intact as it provides counceling....i just wanted to say that family system has been more disturebed in westren cristian countries(not the all cristian countries) bcz of some certain reasons(as u n other fellows ponted it out)...n surely the very reasons or cultural tendcies have prevailed in all other countries n societies as well....

i just read the first line cause the sort of roman urdu u wrote is just too much for an average brain to register.i am sure rest of the members are too bypassing your posts.

Re: Why the divorce ratio in christian countries so high!!!!

The lack of education in women in Muslim countries and other cultural factors make it hard for a women to lead her life on her own thus she will not divorce her husband no matter how much of a kamina he is.

That is not the basic reason why divorce rates are Low! The reason is that In Muslim countries women put in more efforts in a relationship to work their marriages because it is not like-able by our Prophet PBUH and ALLAH SWT to just take a divorce on anything like "We are not getting along", besides culture is also a factor.
On the other hand in western countries, women are more independent and thus they know they have more "options" thus they find ways to get out without putting in efforts. Lack of education has nothing to do with it yar,
