Divorce rate is 54% in US. Why? Love marriages? because most people practice love marriages in this country. Countries like india where divorce rate is only 1% or Pak or Middle eastern countries... divorce rate is really low. What is something that people in US are not doing right that leads to divorce? is it because women have been given way too much power?

I think that as women get more empowerment, are able to earn a living for themselves and be able to live independently, they are less inclined to remain in an unhappy marriage. In the past, women did not have the educational or professional opportunities that they are able to acheive today and this made them very dependent upon their husbands and no choice other than to stay in the marriage and live with it.

Because marriage is seen as a logical next step in a relationship regardless of how the two people actually feel about each other.
Herd mentality - everyone does it so that means I have to do it, too.
In the end, not enough thought is given to the action that is supposed to bind you to someone FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
People make more informed decisions about buying cars than getting married...and everyone buys a car KNOWING it's going to be replaced.The assassins of freedom tend the burning of truth.

those are over estimations. the rate is high because it isn't as frowned upon nowadays. also more people are leaning towards cohabitating rather than getting married. also when people do get remarried, they are more likely to divorce as well. you have to look at the method that the rate is measured. some methods give huge over representations and some underestimate.

In a way, I agree. Feminism has caused a great deal of harm in our society. It's created women that think they need a career separate from their home life to be successful, and it has emasculated men. I can go into a whole lot of reasons why the divorce rate is so high, but I'll just say it's due to a lack of maturity and understanding what marriage is at it's foundations.

that is because it is their tradition over there. when indian families come over here they prefer love marriages but their traditional parents try to influence them into an arranged marriage to try and uphold their culture. also, the children do have the right to refuse the marriage.

Don't forget to mention that in places like India, the man owns his wife. Remember, this was a country whose past includes killing the wife when the husband died because she had no reason to live. It's still extremely difficult for a woman over there.
But, here in America, it comes from being bored, me thinks. Too many people are used to the "date and break" setup so affluent in our culture. We only stay as long as the one we're with is the best at the time...unless we're ugly and believe they're the best we'll get.guys i not afriad 2 show my boobs cuz they r just boobs but i aint a slut yall so sorry i aint showing cuz i have respect for my self

Because we are biological animals in a choatic, entropic world. It's a wonder that any marriages do work.
lol at this guy tryin to tell us that arranged marriages and no womens right's are better than the Western model of marriage. India has been historically based on a caste system and the reason arranged marriages are popular is for families of the same caste to keep their money close.
Obviously love marriage is flawed and it often does not work out but it is based on the liberty for people to make their own decisions and that is more valuable than being in some marriage that works but you had no say in.Last edited by Tree_Fidddy; 05-16-2010 at 12:20 PM.

giving divorce is a very selfish decision. Think about the children you have, a man isnt even allowed to keep his children. By law, he can only meet them 1 day a week or something like that. US in 1950s was much better. Women knew their limits but now women think theyr some kinda queens and know everything abt the world and everyone around them is a dumbass. US/Canada need to update their laws regarding divorce and discourage ppl from giving divorce. its not a game.

Bull****, few people marry at young age, and most people that get married or settle down at later age just get divorce at high rates
It is the American culture of sleeping around, both parents working and not being around, feminism, guys tought at young age that sleeping around is good, all about self and and bull****Last edited by 265HP; 05-16-2010 at 12:25 PM.

Where are you talking?
Custody battles do award custody to the man in some cases. Children be damned, it's far better to get out of something unhealthy than to raise children in that kind of scenario. "Don't like it!? TOUGH!" Instead of pursuing happiness.
I agree it's not a game though...that point I do like. People rush into it because they think it's logical, and they are in love. They don't know the true meaning of the word.
..and fat chicks.guys i not afriad 2 show my boobs cuz they r just boobs but i aint a slut yall so sorry i aint showing cuz i have respect for my self
