Why is divorce considered so prevalent today?
Today, the traditional notion of divorce is under more pressure than ever. Recognizing the factors that lead to a modern divorce is more important than ever. We need to understand them to try to find a suitable solution in today’s fast pace of life.
There are quite a few commonly known factors that put some people at higher risk for divorce than others:
-
marry at a very young age,
-
lack of education and income,
-
live together before marriage,
-
premarital pregnancy,
-
absence or absence of religious affiliation,
-
feelings of insecurity,
Couples who show a lack of commitment, who argue continuously, who are forced to marry too young, who are expected to live up to unrealistic expectations, who live in an unequal relationship in relation to making important decisions have a increased risk of ending your marriage prematurely.
These types of conflicts are a deadly combination in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. Today’s pace is geared toward personal improvement and choices, as well as encouraging people to invest in personal relationships that require much more commitment and time to fulfill.
In the past, marriages used to be held together by many different factors; financial dependency, family pressure and expectations, strong religious beliefs, just to name a few. All of these factors seem to have been weakened by today’s impulsive, modern lifestyle.
Understanding these factors can help you understand why you may be facing some of these challenges in your marriage.
Today’s marriages seem to be based primarily on the emotion of LOVE. As we all know, emotions can be very unstable and prone to breakdown in today’s impulsive lifestyle.
If love is lost, does it make sense to keep holding on to the marriage?
Do you really have the time and patience to invest in your relationship or do you just want to move on?
If one’s emotions are not being met, the incentive is there to go ahead and attempt a second marriage.
