The social aspect of love is to blame for divorce.

Its easy to blame women working as the death of marriage...but honestly its not so much that as the ideals of love changing.

Nowadays, divorce isn't looked down on they way it used to be. Just like with teen pregnancy. The approach and overall social attitudes towards these acts, is what makes them happen more. When it was looked down on and very taboo and one would be ruined if it happened, it kept the rate down lowly.

One thing that hasn't changed is that people rush into marriages. But the problem is the love aspect is different. Back then many people fell in love quicker...mostly because they were expect to. They couldn't divorce and at the same time, women couldn't really work.

Yet today we can divorce, we can work...yet people are not realizing that because of this, you know have to take the time to get to know the person you are lusting for.

I know 2 girls who have been with their boyfriends for only a few months and already they are talking about marriage. They plan to marry after college, yet one girl's boyfriend is already getting an engagement ring, while the other simply talk about the wedding and are saving up for it.

I personally don't feel someone should marry someone until at least dating seriously for 1 to 2 years...and it being on and off does not count.

I blame the divorce rate on the fact that people are not changing their views about love socially the way they are about who works and divorce.
