I think Lack of communication is often the main reason relationships break down.

When couples don't express their feelings and needs, misunderstandings and unresolved conflicts arise, leading to divorce.

Share your thoughts?
 
It varies from culture to culture, and difference of opinions can be the biggest reason.
 
Women are probably responsible for most divorces (based on what I have seen). They often don't want to compromise/get along and are very entitled.

Not all women of course. But, a big percentage of them.

They want something better all the time and availability of the options .

Indeed.

Simplicity is missing from them. They tend to be very materialistic and shallow. Also, they often spread malicious rumors which cause fights and divorces.

Again, not all women of course. There are many sensible women too.
 
Another reason is finance.

Many families break up due to bad financial situations. Arguments often happen due to money issues.
 
Could be many reasons depending on the society & culture .

Eg Western culture mainly due to adultry .

Asian culture mainly due to bickering & arguments over finance & lifestyle
 
Increasingly, marriage is perhaps a social institution that has outlived it's usefulness or necessity.

Maybe traditional marriage worked in patriarchal setup only. If thats the right assumption then we can say feminism might be one of the causes as it takes down patriarchy.

This. If you noticed, this thread turned from divorce to borderline misogyny.

Patriarchy is losing its grip. But some people have same level of expectations and want domination over the gender. The outcome will be obviously divorce.

"if my food isn't cooking, we are not cooking...."

I am not married yet. But, I recognize marriage is classy and important. You don't need to be married to understand it.

You have no idea what marriage is.

That's why i said "traditional marriage". Honestly its a complex issue, I dont think Humanity has been able to find the right balanced solution to it. We are experimenting and evolving the norms as we go along.

In this context, I tend to follow Marxism and his conflict theory. Conflict will always be a part of society and it'll be conflict which will bring changes..... Changes which will bring other conflicts and same cycle continues.

Are we really in a cycle about the concept of marriage and family? For a cycle, we would need to circle back to something na. :p
 
LOL.

Marriage is a formal union between a man and a woman. Nothing complicated to understand here.
Arre yaar... plzzz I know you are giving your genuine opinion but sorry its too simplistic . We all go through these phases of life, you will join our stages too. Everyone does. Some time ago, we were at your stage too :D

Why are you anti-patriarchy? Patriarchy isn't automatically bad.

Patriarchy can be both abusive and benevolent.

I am not anti -patriarchy or anti-feminist. My opinions are fluid on the concept and keep evolving on these matters.

I would not choose the word benevolent, if you ever get into these discussions and some females are in the group. Just a friendly note.
 
Women fighting back Male shackles.

This question has been asked several times. Its not always Man's fault. Many times women are also equally responsible.

Male Chauvinism, Insecurity, Unrealistic expectations from women, Overbearing restrictions on women freedom, Clashes on career aspirations, In Laws trouble etc.. all can lead to divorce.

Everyone has only one life to live. You live by your choice. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices. But how much of a sacrifice should be made depends on the person. Many Men and Women end up sour and cynical as they age. They feel they could have done things differently instead of sacrificing their youth and happiness over some guy/girl who never really cared for him/her.

Marriage is a mess. You just have to try your best make the best out of it.

Here is the counter argument against equality in workforce.
We as a species, have a major bottleneck pregnancy time and limited age zone for female for fertility. We are already seeing that nearly 60+ countries have TFR below replacement levels. The population declines are going to be severe and catastrophic in coming 40-50 years. How do we handle that boondongle??

I really hate to admit that Elon Musk might have some sense about Population decline.

Marriage and family will always cost a female far more than a male on the professional front. So do we still strive for equality if it means that it can lead to virtual end of human species down the line?
 
Lol there is never one reason.

Major reason is incompatibility.
