Not all of the younger generation mind you....going on 17 years in June. Sure we have hard times, but we decided 17 years ago that we would manage those times together. It's about choices and being responsible for the choices you make. I believe in marriage but I also believe in divorce, in cases where someone is being harmed.
I think the problem comes when people divorce because "they are not happy" with that person. The truth is that often those are people who are not happy with themselves let alone anyone else. So they move on and often end up in the same situation again when the next person does not make them happy.
Years ago for every 2 people there was 1 or 2 (max) marriages between them. Now often people have had 2 or 3 marriages each when they are getting married. This raises the divorce rate dramatically. If instead of 1 marriage peeps are having 2 or 3, of course the divorce rate is increasing. Many people are serial monogamists now days.
