    Because people change.

    I can tell you coming from a pseudo broken home, everyone would have been better off if my parents had gotten a divorce 20 years ago. My dad stays with my mother because that's how he thinks things have to be, he's very old fashioned, but the truth is sometimes divorce is needed. People don't always stay the same.

    That's only in America though Elisabeth. Around 50% of marriages in America lead to divorces. I think this is because relationships here aren't the way they use to. People don't marry for love anymore and it saddens me. It's either for wealth or lust or some other messed up reason.

    Well, I think a good way to avoid divorcing is to not marry as quickly. If you think you want to get married to someone, live with them for a while. Find out if any of their habits pissed you off too much. See if they are some sort of lunatic underneath it all. GET TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE MARRYING. So many people skip the crucial phase of getting to know the people they love. It's dumb.

    I think these are some of the common fundamental reasons that lead to the high incidence of divorce in our society.

    1. People often get married without taking the time to really get to know each other as thoroughly as they should.
    2. People often *settle* for someone knowing that person is not really right for them because they think that is better than the alternative of being alone and waiting a long time for the right person to come along.
    3. Sometimes people marry a person with flaws that they expect will change later on. This is a major mistake. Nobody should be expected to change.
    4. People are often not inclined to continue with an effort to work on their relationship once they are married and they begin to take each other for granted.
    5. Certain types of chronic, unacceptable or criminal behavior are almost certain to destroy a marriage. Drug addiction, spousal abuse, etc.
