Why Divorce Rate Is Soaring Higher By Day by EternalBeing: 4:53am On Jan 12, 2019
The Governments, world over, are trying their best possible to create crime-free, peaceful, productive and progressive communities. But unfortunately, inhuman vices keep increasing by day because families, as the bedrock and smallest unit of every society, are getting shattered at ever increasing unprecedented rate. Don't be part of the problem, please watch this very short video and learn how to avoid divorce so that you can help others know. The incredible comments under the video made me share it here. So, your comments here too could go a long way more than you ever know.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMrb9SkP2MI

For those that couldn't watch the Video, I'll explain what I learned from it as much as I can. It begins with bonding. If you are not serious about creating a relationship, don't start asking deep questions. Because back and forth questions and answers creates bonding. When you say good morning, the person responds back with good morning. But when you start asking what are your dreams for the next 10-25 years and the person is responding and asking deeper questions in return, bonding is taking place. Asking very deeper question from the opposite sex, means you wanna get into ultimate bond (marriage=sex; 2 shall become 1) with the person and it's like shooting stronger enomous spider webs that permanently interconnect each other. Regardless of the fact that Sex has been so trivialize as something that doesn't really matter, it marks the highest level of bonding between humans. Ultimate Bonding = Sex = Marriage. Sex, of cause which should only happen in marriage, is the deepest seal of bonding. If you've been unfortunate enough to sexually bond with others before marriage, it would definitely affect the strength of your legitimate marriage bond. Sex indirectly equals marriage, the more people you've had sex with the more people you are indirectly married to. "The experts at Divorce Magazine note that about 45-50 percent of married women and 50-60 percent of married men cheat on their spouses." https://divorce.lovetoknow.com/Rates_of_Divorce_for_Adultery_and_Infidelity No lawyer or judge can truly divorce (unbond) your legal marriage or illegal (indirect) marriages, all they could give you is just a sheet of paper. That's why it easier for an ex to wreck a marriage. If sexual promiscuity is reduced in our society, divorce rate will reduce too, and crime rate
generally would reduce too. Satan use sexual promiscuity to destroy people's can conscience before using them to destroy one another. It is very hard to find any Virgin or someone that has stuck to one sexual partner from day 1, have enough dead conscience to become an armed robber, a killer or hired assassin. Also, always remember that many that have had their glorious destinies or lives terminated by diabolic sex. The person you open yourself to in sex has access to your being and wellbeing spiritually, physically, mentally, and healthwise.

It is commonly believed that 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce. The statistic has been roughly accurate for the last 40 years, but there is much more to the story. Changes in the law and society may explain why the rate of divorce has increased, and why it may increase again.
Why Divorce Increased
Before 1970, divorce was relatively uncommon and difficult to get. Fault was usually required-one of the spouses must have committed a crime or sin that justified the divorce. There needed to be adultery, abandonment, cruelty, intoxication or some other reason that made it necessary to end the marriage.
No-fault divorce became an option in some states in the 1950s. Couples no longer needed to prove that one person was at fault. They could simply say that the marriage had broken down. By 1970, almost all states had laws allowing no-fault divorces.
A long separation before the divorce used to be mandatory. Many states also passed laws that greatly decreased the separation time, making divorce easier and faster.
These laws had a great effect on the divorce rate. From 1940 to 1965, the divorce rate remained near 10 divorces for every 1,000 married women. By 1979, the rate had doubled.
When Society Changes, Divorce Changes
Changes in the law explain part of why divorce was on the rise, but it does not tell the whole story. While the law was changing, society was also changing.
Women became a strong presence in the workforce. They no longer depended on their husbands to support them. This independence allowed them to leave an unhappy marriage and still provide for themselves.
Divorce also became more acceptable. The guilt and fault of the old divorce laws were gone. As more couples separated, divorce gradually became a normal part of life.
In short, many couples that would have previously remained married now chose divorce.
Other changes may also explain why divorce increased, including:
Cohabitation (living together) has become acceptable. Research shows that couples that live together before marriage are more likely to divorce.
A divorced person who remarries after a divorce is much more likely to get divorced again.
Children of divorced parents are more likely to get divorced. As the number of divorced parents increases, so will the number of their children that get divorced.

Yeah, thanks for sharing. The purpose of creating this thread is for us all to gather here and reason on finding solution(s) to this endemic problem. We are not supposed to just cowardly, selfishly or stupidly resign to fate as if we can not do anything to make things better. Change is the only constant thing, and that change can be positively directed . Did you watch the short Video? What do you think could be done to drastically decrease divorce rate?

Advice for Those Not Yet Married
If you have not yet married or even chosen a partner, you have, by far, the most power to affect your eventual likelihood of divorce. Those who are already married can only change how they think and act in their existing marriage. Singles who have not yet chosen a partner have a lot more that is still on the table for change. In other words, your stage of life shapes what is dynamic and static in terms of factors associated with your risk for divorce. The earlier you are in the process of finding a mate, the more your choices going forward can affect your future. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you proceed.
1. Take it slow. Get to know a person very well before deciding to marry. We all know people who fell in love at first sight and married within months, and who have done well over many years in marriage. But there are many other couples who married fast and blew apart. By taking more time, you can see how a potential partner treats others, responds to stress, and handles disagreements with you on things that matter. Also, if your relationship is moving toward marriage, take some time to clarify expectations about marriage, family, and life.
2. Pay attention to major red flags. If you see evidence of controlling or abusive behavior, or serious substance use problems, don’t move blindly ahead hoping things will work out. Love does not conquer all. If you have trusted friends or family, listen to them about concerns they see in the person you are dating. Don’t marry a makeover project—or, at the least, don’t do so until there is great evidence of real, lasting change when there are concerns. And don’t move in together to test such a relationship. That’s the worst reason you can have to move in together.xiv
3. Look for someone who shares your beliefs and values. What are your central values in life? Are they shared? Avoid situations where you might fall for someone prior to determining these things. Once you sense some chemistry, it’s hard to hold onto what had been non-negotiable for what you wanted in a mate. This is where people can use online dating sites effectively: You can be clear about the big things you are looking for in life before you meet someone and it gets all complicated with chemistry. Chemistry is great. You want to have that. But chemistry is best developed in a sequence, not as a blinding, binding glue in a relationship you’d otherwise never have chosen.
Love does not conquer all.
4. Look for mutual dedication. There should be sustained evidence that you and a prospective mate are equally devoted to the relationship; for example, that you are both willing to make sacrifices for each other. If you consistently think you are more dedicated to the relationship than your partner, consider moving on. That’s a bad sign for future marital quality. It’s fine to be looking for love, but it’s smarter to be looking for sacrifice.
5. Don’t let constraints for staying together increase before you establish mutual commitment to be together. Many people slide into situations that make it harder to end a relationship before they have made a clear decision about what is best. this is what many people do not see about the risk of living together prior to marriage (or at least before engagement). For too many couples, living together makes it harder to break up before it’s clear that they really have a future together.
6. Do premarital training : While marital experts debate everything, there is solid evidence that completing premarital training (education, counseling, whatever it’s called) together can improve your odds in marriage

Divorce is like changing jobs or environment. If it is not working out or you see a better option why not leave instead of staying bitter over a bygone opportunity to be happy.

Divorce has come to stay.... Why fight it. Same with the gays and lesbians and of recent Transexism.

Obviously, you are part of the problem. When it tends towards being evil, you'll say "never say never". Why not apply same philosophy when it tends towards being good? We all relentlessly and endlessly strive to improve financially, educationally, mentally and materially. Why do some get easily deceived to senselessly give up on improving morally/spiritually? This aspect of human effort is the most pro-life, wake up and be truly great.

Basically I think society has so much changed.
Most of the thing we frowned at before has been accepted by the society as norm.

As for me, one breaking his or her head and worrying for marriage break up is a sure way of getting it. Rather getting better as a person, will increase your chances of not breaking up in marriage.

McKenzie Bezos is loosed to be the richest woman in the world if divorce laws are anything to go by. Her ex husband Jeff is worth about $136bn. This means she's eligible to $68bn of that money or 50%. grin

Guys, if marriage was something you ever considered, I ask you to really think about what you want to get into. Marriage is outdated. Get a surrogate, get a baby mama, or just doing parlour wedding. Do not, I repeat, do not near a registry. It is not worth it.

In today's world, divorce or cuckolding is inevitable. Save yourself unnecessary stress. SAY NO TO MARRIAGE.

Thank You.

In the part of the country I come from,divorce rate is very low and most times unheard of,not because it is not possible divorcing but because it is slap in the face of both parties if such occurs.

Most times it is seen as an abomination to our kins men back home.

The rate still remains 1 in 50.
