Why are there so many people getting divorced?

Global warming I tellya!

So many people are getting divoriced because it way too easy to get married and way too easy to call it quits. People get married after no time at all, they don't take the vows seriously and they focus only on what the dress looks like, who is in the wedding party, what the invitations look like, what the reception will be like, who the photographer is etc. They don't get that the wedding is a day and the marriage is a life time. They don't really listen to "better or worse, sickness and health, richer or poorer, forsaking all others till death do us part" they hear " I get a ring, a party and if it doesn't stay fun for me I can just get a divorice. I have been married for 14.5 years and not all of that time has been richer,better, health but we have forsaken all others and believe that it is our job to work harder when times are not perfect because marriage is a committment and if people are not willing to give it everything they have to make it work and put their marriage and their spouse above their own selfish desires then they have no business getting married in the first place.

Because being married is no longer something that is taken seriously. People treat marriage like they are dating. When they get tired of their companion, they find a replacement to give them what they feel they are missing. And, with being so easy to get a divorce nowadays, people just feel that when the going gets tough, just get a divorce.

I am divorced (been divorced for 10 yrs now) and am dating someone who I truly love. I am terrified to get married again because I don't want to end up getting divorced again. That was the most painful period in my life.

I wish we could go back to the days where marriage is a sacred institution where you really can grow old with the person you marry.

Thumbs up to 'uniquefashionista' and 'mamaof3'. Don't think I could have answered the question better than they did. I was married in my early 20s and thought it was the blessing of a lifetime. The fool I married had no idea what he was doing and why...and lived with me as a selfish, irresponsible, cheating spouse. I never wanted to be divorced - but what do you do when you give it your all...and the person doesn't even want you? Just like I don't believe in abortions, but I fell in this area too and could only pray for forgiveness. My relationships were always based on 'in to win it'. But, I just kept being hurt and disrespected and had to learn to respect myself and make better choices. Today, I'm leaving my choice to God because I can't do this without Him. Would love nothing better than to be married again...share my life and love with a wonderful person. I still believe in giving it my all...being in it to win it. I'm learning to build my faith and trust good things will happen. Had enough bad.

People view marriage as a disposable relationship and a divorce to them fixes everything when in reality it complicates things, affects immediate family, extended family, friends, co-workers, etc. I think that it should be made extremely hard to get. I think marriage counseling, individual counseling, family counseling and other programs need to be done and should be done prior to divorce.

You are right: there are people that are evil. There are people that have no values or morals and those are selfish people. Those people don't change and they will continue to be self centered hurting others in their way.

Some people have no compassion and dont take marriage seriously. They dont realize its not a joke and marriage is a big deal and should not be taken lightly.

Poor impulse control and an over-inflated sense of entitlement.

Because they are too selfish to deny their urge to RUT like animals.

So, why are you choosing cheaters?

There are many reasons for divorce...

Lack of morals and can't control their impulses.
