Divorce Rates

Research over the past decade has shown that a major share of divorces (50 to 66 percent, depending on the study) occur between couples who had average happiness and low levels of conflict in the years before the divorce. Contrary to popular belief, only a minority of divorcing couples experience high conflict and abuse during their marriages. Most divorces occur with couples who have drifted apart and handle everyday disagreements poorly. It is these “average” divorces that research shows are the most harmful to children. I believe divorce rates are so high because marriage is no longer meaningful seriously 50% of marriages in America end in divorce they might as well scrap the entire thing do people no longer understand what a vow is anymore?
Seems like most of that 50% is either lazy and are not willing to work on their marriage (they think it’s all rainbows and no actual work), or got married because of a fleeting thought in their heads and ran to Vegas, or they just married for money and looking forward to the divorce settlement. Divorce can also depend on the extent of the problem. If a couple is experiencing some difficulties when they are together because of their differences, it is not a very good reason to file for a divorce. They got married because they want to be with each other for the rest of their lives regardless of their differences, so why file for a divorce. Maybe they just need to sit and talk things over and find a solution for their problems. Stollar, Chris. "Marriage & Relationships." Divorce: Is It the Answer? Focus on the Family, 2002.
