Today's definition of relationship is glorified prostitution. Only a few venture with a purpose. People have reduced relationship to 2 things - sex and money. Until you see relationship beyond these 2 things, you are not ready for life. And when you hop in without dealing with these two, with time it will collapse. 6 Likes |

Women have jobs now and don't need to depend on men for their daily survival so when they get frustrated they leave. Women's hypergamous nature prevents them from being happy with a man who earns less than or the same as her so she gets unhappy and frustrated. Men can get sex easily and they don't need marriage as a motivator to do that or even stay in a marriage. There is no cultural pressure to stay married, before women were told to endure even when the man was using her face to practice martial arts and men were told to stay even when she was going to use his manhood to cook soup. 9 Likes 1 Share |

All man eye don tear. Everybody don Wise up. Basically I believe marriages seem to fail more cos partners now have better options and may choose to walk away from toxic relationships and be criticized less for it unlike back in the 18th to 20th centuries when women couldn't leave abusive and irresponsible men without getting stigmatized. Many Women from those times led very unhappy lives too but just not documented. 10 Likes 1 Share |

The concept of marriage has changed that is why. People are busy marrying for lust. Our parents married to build a home and create a family. Our generation are marrying because of one (hiden) selfish interest or the other SchoolPedia: |

HRHQueenPhil: Though, not excusing it....but men having extramarital affairs can’t be one of the reasons in comparison to our parents’ marriage. Men have been having extramarital affairs from days of old, it is nothing new. Solomon had 700 wives and cheated on them with 300 side chicks. So, far in today's society, I have not seen any man who has marched Solomon's records, which could suggest that men have even moderated this loose behave in today's society compared to days of old. I agree with your other points....and in addition; I think the high expectations placed on marriages today could be one of the reasons. If your mom or dad sits you down today and narrates to you, the sh!t they had to take and are still taking from dad or mom; you will say God forbid and wouldn’t take it from anyone. Our parents are not saints, they have faults but they also have low expectations and high tolerance level for each other, the reverse is the case today. Plus the new women's movement, feminists, etc....who all say, they have ‘awoken’ and believe that they have to claim ‘something’ that men and society have been depriving them of, for centuries now, of course, marriages will not last as before, because the equilibrium has shifted. Many of the current average lifespans of marriage in our society is the new equilibrium and new normal, giving the changing dynamics between men and women. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

We are surrounded with so many sexual items, in music, movies , social media etc, before Internet, you struggle to get pornographic contents but in today's world porn is free and having sex with various partners is a norm in our society. |
