Henric 1st April 2013	This is totally impossible facts. Of all people I know in Sweden - most of them are divorced. I don't believe in this
kevin 1st April 2013	you guys need serious prayer..
Anonymus M.A.A.F. 17th January 2013	Its just so absurd to think that people actually get married and separate after who knows how many years. The problem with people is, they met someone, they've become friends, they think they know who that person is after a short period of time, they fell in love, they think he/she is the right one, they get married, have children, after a year or so they realized they don't know each other very well, and eventually decided to get a divorce not thinking how would it affect their children. And when you ask them why would they get a divorce, their reasons are so shallow to even consider to allow them to get a divorce. Plus, if they do get divorced, under who's custody would the child go? The father or the mother. The child would have confusion on why are their parent's living in two different houses while other childrens parents are living in one house. And also divorce would cause broken families. And broken families is where most rebelious children come from. I guess people who gets divorced are stupid people who think they found the right one.

Marko 28th October 2012	I'm suprised no one said anything about Americans/Australians wanting to get married at the age of 16, believing they know everything about the world. Anyone considered that?
stephen 5th September 2012	In many 3rd world nations most couple never marry because getting a license is cost prohibitive. It is common to see women with children from 2 or 3 "husbands" and I even met one that had 10 children, each with its own father.

Skeet Honorback 13th August 2012	I have to renew my drivers license, auto registration, insurance policy, ect.. why not a marriage license. The only people who benefit from marriage are divorce lawyers.

MR ALVES 12th July 2012	My wife and I separated Last year September, I will agree I wasn't true to myself and her. But i did all I could let her have a good life I did put all my energy into our little family as we have 2 beautiful kids.because I worked As a waiter she didn't really like that for a career, she thought i didn't want to do well in my life. last year as the harsh finance situation hit as we've been suffering with our finance for a while she decided to end our marriage. which i was very devastated!! to lose the love of my life, but a month after separation i went to France for 10days to clear my head. when i got back she wanted me back but she didn't want romantic side of it a month after xmas she told me again that she cant do it anymore as our finance was at lowest. then we made a decision to end it to sort our lives out...but my prayer everyday for her to realize that i am not a loser all i wanted is to do what i could to put food on the table and roof over their head. since the second separation i am qualified football coach and fitness instructor and doing more toward my career but I don't want to get into a relationship with another woman when my wife and I suffered all of this years when my career takes of shes not there to enjoy it with me..I really want her back in my life so i contacted this spell caster CHIFE OGWA who now help me to bring her back, we now have a happy family together with my wife.

DR.DAVID SWYINNEY MAPUNDA 19th June 2012	In 2010 I did a study named THE MAGNITUDE OF DIVORCE AND THE ASSOCIATED CAUSES IN TANZANIA MAINLAND FOR 2010,CASE STUDY OF RITA-REGISTERED MARRIAGES (RITA-Registration Insolvency Trusteeship Agency)and the results on the side of divorce rate showed that the divorce rate was 3.5/1000!(THIS MEANS TANZANIA MAINLAND RANK NO. 03,NEXT TO PUERTO RICA)This research paper was submitted to COLLEGE OF BUSSINESS EDUCATION-DARESALAAM,TANZANIA As the partial fulfillment ofrequirement foran award of POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. Is there any possibility that I get the sponsor to come there and present it? Thanks in advance!

paula murray 27th April 2012	Divorce is so horrible for everyone concerned,..what can we tell our children? i'm terrified my girls willl also marry a psychopath who pretends to be so nice and charming but turns out to be cold/black hearted and dangerously stupid. How did this happen? If so many marriages are failing and so many children suffer because of it. What is the answer? Is there possibly a test for psychopaths? some way of avoiding these `black souls' who have no hope of developing a `conscience'? what a disaster!
thetruthhurts 17th April 2012	US has the HIGHEST DIVORCE RATE in the world. You really cannot deny this. Why ? 1) American women are known world wide for their feminist agenda 2) The richer / more self sufficient women are the less they engage in relationship 3) American televison is trageting only women as consumers creating unrealistic expectations from car, house, cruise which other women do not demand. 4) No where else in the world can older men better find young women that fall in love with their money. 5) US women focus on the wallet and not on the heart of their oounterpart.
Len Giles 6th April 2012	If you are looking for a comopanion that will give you loyalty, protection, true friendship, and unconditional love; do not get married. Get a dog.
johnny 5th April 2012	My name is johnny, i have been having problems with my girlfriend and have been together with her for over 6 years now, I do love this woman a lot and do want to get married to her but at times i did feel a little confused about this and has wondered if she has been true to the relationship...until i have found king son. she told me that she was not being true with me..I did later find out that she has been seeing her ex boyfriend I was overwhelmed and did not know what to do, although I still loved this girl and could not see myself with anyone else, I did not want to lose her and king son assured me that they could help me with this problem, I contacted .ayelalashrine@gmail.com once again to let him know that I did want to get help with this. With the powers that they do have my girlfriend and I did work a lot of things out and she has came back to me and we are now back together and engaged I did get over the fact that she has cheated on me but sometimes we do need to forget the past and move on to a better future and without king son' help I dont think it would have ever worked out.he is truly an Angel sent from up above!
sterriny 14th March 2012	Hi Everyone, My name is sterriny and i am from slovenia, I had a marriage issues where my husband was having an affair with someone from his workplace. and i knew from his close friend who sees that what my husband was doing was wrong, I was so upset, I didn't know where to turn. So my cousin sister introduced me to a spell caster whose email address is templeofancientancestors@gmail.com, this spell caster did a Love Spell that then made my husband to realise how much i love and care about him. After 3 days later he came back to his senses and I won him back! The girl got fired, and now we are happier than we have ever been. sincerely that the spell caster who saved my marriage and brought my lovely husband back to me. The spell caster email is templeofancientancestors@gmail.com
Gyasi+ 15th February 2012	In this generation of ours, people have institute their own style of marriage. They have forgotten that marriage was instituted by God and not man. Be faithful to you PARTERN. thank you

Earl Brown 5th February 2012	im writing a book that places the focus on what builds a happy relationship and takes the focus off the title of the relationship.............and it starts off with and promotes great communication and understanding
chalior 30th January 2012	islamic countries have lowest rates of crimes and divorce even if they are Underdeveloped countries
aaronzo pang 20th January 2012	What causes divorce?
Raj Sakya 14th January 2012	@AcesHigh,30th August 2011 I agree with you. It's a research methodological fallacy. Divorce rate should be compared with the total number of marriage, rather than the total population of a country.
Mianahmed 25th December 2011	@ vans: if that were the reason then other people would have high rates of divorce in their own lands. I agree with 'Nelda'. Lowest tempers and unreal expectations in real world what develops through 'what media sells ' on behalf of Multi billionaire/ Multinational companies, are the main reason behind high rates.
Vans 21st November 2011	The Divorce rate is high in america because other people in other country is paying their way in for a green card thru marriage.
Rizwan 13th November 2011	If a country has a lower divorce rate then it does not mean that people are happier there. Someone above mentioned that Muslim countries have lower divorce rate and people are happy. The only reason they dont divorce is the financial freedom of Women. They are dependent on their husbands financially, emotionally,and socially. They are not independent.
Mr. H 12th November 2011	The U.S divorce rate is a complete disgrace to the human race. 4 compared to 0 per 1,000 is not what I call having christian ideals, beliefs, values or morals. It's being a mut. No wonder Italy has the lowest divorce rate, the county is 99.9% catholic compared to what-ever that is in the South. It's divorce per 1,000 it's clear. Getting married in the U.S with the laws is a big security risk and investment risk. 70-90% end up divorced any-way.
Okang'a Eric 4th November 2011	If its in your power as both parties, you can workout on your lives before wose. In this all matters, allow God to build your family. In times of divorce no spouse wins. The effects hits them all.
Nikki C. 29th October 2011	The reason why I believe America has the highest divorce rate is because people here think marriage is a game. I mean look at Las Vegas for crying out loud. You get married drunk, later get a divorce or annulment just like that. Vegas is the most lenient place to get married. I also don't believe Americans are happier at all. Just as some people say, "the doctors have a medicine for everything!" (I agree with the anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication). If you look at countries with low divorce rates, mostly the Asian countries, they truly are the most happiest people. Plus, they have a better family life and don't go through messy relationships by changing wives or husbands frequently and having like different kids from each. The truth is, Americans get bored easily. They don't like to stay committed to one thing which is why they frequently change their cars, houses, and women. The other fact is America has tons of money yet no culture (unless you consider McDonald's a part of it's culture). Many Asian countries don't have as much money but LOTS of culture which then leads to a much stable life in my opinion and causes better marriages. Think about it, what is "American" culture? Google image it and you will see a McDonald's/Starbucks logo (LOL). As opposed to let's say.. Mexico. Hispanics lifestyle is similar to Asians because they are always family based (which is why you'll see a flock of them together everywhere, in a good way). Americans kick out their children at 18. Most Asians keep their kids until they get married off. It's not a bad thing, it's out of pure love. Recently people have been getting modern, but the cultures still exist.
S.M. 7th October 2011	As for Americans "being happier," one only has to look at the alarming statistics of how many Americans are taking anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication!
Morgan 30th September 2011	It appears to me that Americans are the happier lot. They divorce to end the pain and start life anew. In countries where divorce rate is low, PERHAPS, the suffer in silence and live miserable lives.
Mr. C 30th September 2011	"Much to do about nothing!" Relationships, Politics and Religion. The primary " If it doesn't concern you - butt out!" - aspects of life. When will we realize that we are given one life to live and we cannot handle that. Taking on the problems, or joys, of another person's life is pointless and demeans the value of your own.
Angel 30th September 2011	I don't really know who has the correct data and what to believe because there are big difference when you read other reports from various websites. One website says Russia is No. 1 and USA is only No. 5. Anyway, why do I care! In our country, divorce is illegal even though a lot of married couples were separated and are now living with somebody else.
Emily 26th September 2011	Wow we really "broke up" the competition :)
ME311 17th September 2011	@Barnabas Yohannes: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was hilarious! Did she leave you with nothing? LOL
QuickSnell 14th September 2011	Divorce is such a terrible thing. So very terrible and sad. As it shows, it's relationships doesn't hold together based on "wealth", "good-looks", and other materialistic things. The character and maturity levels are important in an individual. Childish and naive decisions selecting a partner will have in a place you don't want to be in the long run. An expensive place.
Randy 11th September 2011	Divorce is very hard on the entire family unit. Every family member pays the price in terms of learning from the role model of the adult parent i.e. sons / dads ... mothers / daughters and the worse of it ... learning how to love and receive love i.e girls nurtured by their dads. The family unit is vital for any nation and when the family unit is under attack everyone pays the price. It is vital that children have 2 parents participating in their individual lives, from both, an emotional and pyschological perspective.
wisewoman 9th September 2011	I am now an adult, but as a child from a divorced family, I can only say that it was the best thing to happen for myself and my siblings. Our home became peaceful, we knew what to expect when we came home from school, we could actually sleep at night and our mother was able to give us self-confidence, self-worth,and all the love we wanted. Even tho the divorce put us into total poverty, I thank her every day for the courage it took for her to do this for us!
Carlos 21st August 2011	Now now, Puerto rico is not a country, it is only a territory conquered/controlled/dominated by the US, therefore that percentage should go to the US.
kevin 16th August 2011	who has time to read all this comments!!
Sue Muriuki 12th August 2011	Mary Njeri I read your comment I would like to meet with you regarding your thesis on divorce. I am very interested in knowing more are you able to contact me on ursulawambui@gmail.com
Barnabas Yohannes 1st August 2011	Women file for a divorce in order to take your house, your car, and your money. On the top of that, what they certainly want is to take custody of your children. The reason is not because they love the children more than their fathers. But in order to have a constant income from the fathers. Thus, men in the U.S. become slaves to the women.
Christina 30th July 2011	Where is Hungary?! Hungary has the highest divorce rate in Europe. Hungary`s divorce rate is 50%, that means that every second Hungarian couple divorce.
sarina 17th July 2011	You will know how long it will last until the test of time Through difficulties, financial hardship, deaths of a friend or relative, raising children and when things go wrong Like they say when the hour is the darkest and the trials are their greatest is when you know how long your marriage will last if the love and determination is still there will your marriage stood the test of time???
Sarina 16th July 2011	Though the statistics show Divorced families and kids have a negative impact in the society but that's not the case I believe it is the quality of parenting not the quantity of parenting. All the single mothers and single fathers god blessed you all believed that you have done excellent job and go forward focus on your life and children the greatest gift is unconditional love There are single parents who raised their children very well. The children studied harder and are excellent and high achievers at school and behaved very well. As a single mum I have raised my children the best of my ability to give them a stable and strong foundation.
Mary+Njeri 12th July 2011	I have gone through theological education (Divinity) in St Paul University Kenya, and now am through though am not attached anywhere. I have done my theses on Divorce and am interested to work as moderator. Thanks if you will consider me. God bless
Mary Njeri 12th July 2011	Divorce is a horrible thing to many people and it makes people's life to be dragged backward instead of going forward. I think something should be done to the instution of marriages bearing in mind that it is the industry of human beings.There should be proper pre-marital counseling and post marital counseling.We should have as many marriage counselors as we have today in countries. Mary

Rev.JD.Jagathkumar 12th July 2011	When wealth exceeds people forget God and make friendship with the "DARK-WORLD"
Baldheaded Baby 8th July 2011	these statistics are more of an indicator of the lack of women's rights in certain countries more so than their successful marriage practices. most divorces in the united states are initiated by the woman due to infedility of some kind. in many of these other countries men still freely do whatever they feel like doing and the spouses just put up with it.
Glyn Manning 7th July 2011	This is why I can’t be bothered with serious relationships because when you are faced with divorce statistics like this, I believe there is far too much to lose than gain in the future. Society is more selfish than ever before.
Emir 6th July 2011	Maldives has the highest divorce rate followed by Beluras. next comes United States.
Jebaraj K. 3rd July 2011	Marriages are concern to be the God ordained ceremony, that no can ever seperate. If the love of the wife is true and the effection of the husband is real then we can put an end to this issue "Divorce". We are united as a family in Christ, say the Bible. Let God be the head of the family. What ever you decide in the family must be with the each other consultation. It is shameful that United States holds the first place being a Christian nation; they suppose to keep the moral standards than to give more economical standards. I wish my Asians and Indians don't follow it. Let's not be westernized in this unfaithful factor. I pray to God that atleast we Indians be first in keeping away divorce from our nation among all nations. Don't destroy our India customs and cultures. It's in your hand my dear fellow bretheren.
Pr Sempebwa Godwin 21st June 2011	Divorce is quite at its highest level throughout the world. the best solution will be; to honor your spouse and to appreciate the positive qualities which one has. People who have grown up in divorced families have a very high probability of experiencing divorce in their own families. Some of what people call rights is disrights to real life. Let us go back to biblical principles and the Lord will help us.
sergio,spaniard living in the USA 17th June 2011	I agree with Edria Murray.In spain divorce is still a stigma,you have a lot of pressure from your family to stay married.I had problems in my marriage but i will never get divorce because marriage is only one time.GOD bless marriage!!!
leah 6th June 2011	Where is Saudi Arabia? It has a very high divorce rate and i personally know a lot of divorced Saudi's!
Alexandra Uhrig 27th May 2011	I believe in the power of encouragement and positive thinking. I think that a great deal of what builds us up as a person is the amount of self confidence we have. With a high esteem, as i was growing up i pretend that everything was ok, and most of the time i pretended that mom and dad was just arguing a simple things even if things got worst. I had a tough childhood when my parents almost killed each other and finally when i was 12 they got separated. As a child i was afraid to dream bigger things and i was thinking that it would just end up just like my mom and dad. It took me time and plenty of therapy to get behind my issues.Thank you for reminding us these things. children and divorce
RR 10th May 2011	The data is interesting..I think Latin American women are just as likely to divorce as American women..at least that has been my unfortunate experience...I should have done my research...one country I know of that DOES NOT divorce and that is the Philippines...there, once you are married you are married for life..and the woman tries to make the marriage work...I wish other cultures had the same attitude.
Dr. Pradeep 5th May 2011	Dear everyone, I am a professor of University from india. Divorce take place due to the rigid stand of either husband or wife. there are plenty of routes to avoid divorce. but they fail to think about them as they normally loos patience in this situation. the best way out to divorce is Premarital and post marital counselling. marriage is a sacred bond between two hearts. let us not void it by deadly divorce.. think, think, think..
lan 28th April 2011	I am an American male and I've dated both American and non-American women. It seems like it is more difficult to date American women long term due to unrealistic expectations. However, I believe that divorces are due to the rise in technology among other things. With the internet, cell phones, social media, there is much more temptation out there than say 30 or 40 years ago. In addition, I have many married friends in other countries and many of these husbands cheat on their wives from time to time. The foreign wives tend to "look the other way" while American women won't put up with this. In my opinion, it isn't all critical for American women.
Glen 15th April 2011	God hates divorce. Malachi 2:16 Why would people do something that God hates. Mabe if more people knew how God felt about divorce before they got married, they would take it a little more seriously.
Rachel 14th April 2011	What is the divorce rate for Paraguay?
RUSHCKI 14th April 2011	Love is a beautiful part of life. We all say we have love but we love different things and in different ways. Love is when a man leaves his wife to have sex with a different female. Love is when the wife does the same. People make love when they share beds with different partners, teenagers are also in love because they have sex. They love each other because they have a child together. People cheat on one another, and the reason is they have love to someone. Love is when someone isn’t sexually pleased so they leave. Love lasts as long as the pay checks are coming. Love does not sacrifice or forgive. Love is when people get everything there way. Love is when someone gets what they deserve. Love is a divorce! The interesting thing is that all this is love, self-love. People love things that satisfy them. Who can love something that needs to be loved? When we realize that someone depends on us we have to make the choice of caring about and for them or moving on and loving ourselves.
Sam 12th April 2011	What exactly does this mean? Is it divorces that occur for every 1000 people, or how many people have divorced out of 1000, or what?
seriously? 8th April 2011	Why are women getting blamed so much? Look around. There are more than 50 X the number of adult strip clubs entertaining men than there are entertaining women. There are no massage parlors for women to go to and cheat and get off. Check the escort services on the internet or in the phone book and how many of them cater to men then women. Prostitution and pornography have men paying to be cheaters rather than supporting and spending time with their families. These services wouldn't be lucrative if men weren't cheating. Unless the women are all sleeping with the same guys, men are the biggest cheaters and reason that marriages aren't working.
Willie 8th April 2011	The problem with divorce is love. I'm not suggesting that being in love is the problem. I'm saying our understanding of love is. We somehow assume love is a good feeling or butterflies in the stomach. Love is an action word that means I put you first and you put me first. My every action should be done for your greatest good. Sometimes that will make you FEEL happy and other times it will make you FEEL upset. However, when the feelings are set aside both parties should clearly see that what was done was for my good. This is what good parents do for their children. They say no when necessary and yes when necessary. Until we understand that love has nothing to do with feelings first, the better off we'll be. Love is how do I protect you and make sure that you understand that you are the most important person on this planet to me. In the end, when we truly LOVE, the feelings will be there.
Dan ambuka 4th April 2011	its only the effort you make that determine whether the relation will survive or not, it doesn't matter whether 'who is earning more than the other'. so men ,man your homes Effectively, en watch out!
Dele 4th April 2011	It's simply a matter of logic in men versus emotion in women.The average man's strength of reasoning reside in the left brain which is predominantly logic based, whilst that of woman is on the right, which is emotion. When both cannot find a meeting point crisis ensue and consequently a divorce. Tolerance,spirit of give and take,forgiveness,playing down on overbloated male egotism and feminism campaign fashioned by societal brainwashing, and effective communication are the neccessary ingredients or panacea for inharmonious or on the brink relationship. Principle of co-operation rather than competition should be the pivot on which marriages, in fact, all relationships should stand. Unfortunately,the agent of change-society has come to lay so much emphasis on competition right from childhood to adulthood.In virtually every sphere of life what is seen is the spirit of competition,albeit,a inharmonious one.Everywhere we see inharmonious competition-at home-husband and wife,in religion,amongst siblings etc.
Fernando 27th March 2011	I am from Latin America and I once dated a beautiful American girl and she made my life a living HELL !!! Men always fantasize about dating a beautiful woman and she was... Physically. However, on the inside she (and her girl friends) were so disconnected from reality that I couldn't take it anymore. I kept telling her "your expectations of men are unrealistic". She had an enormous and unfounded sense of entitlement to the best, like if it was the status quo of the universe to give her the very best. She felt she should have everything she wanted, just because. I grew up in a poor country and I have fought hard for everything I've got. I couldn't relate to her. I couldn't connect with someone so shallow and superficial. I broke up with her in a very sensitive way with a proper explanation of our differences and she told me she always thought she was too good for me anyway :S I feel so sorry American girls don't know they're missing out on true love because of their inflated ego. Vanity only brings you emptiness. After that, "no thank you" to American girls. I'll stick with Latin American girls, who are crazy too but at least don't grow up thinking they are Cinderellas. No wonder the divorce rates are through the roof in this country.
satyajit dash 8th March 2011	Men now a days getting free sex. So, we should not marry. Now women are not trust worthy. They just want alimony .
Andrew White 7th March 2011	This high divorce rate in the Western World is sad.
Jacques Diatta 2nd March 2011	The United States was once a country with a low divorce rate until the post world war 2 era. I guess the fact that women got involved in labor works that were previously operated by men, and also reinforced of empowerment of women, lead to those disastrous statistics.
Corrupt Courts 1st March 2011	I see a number of people bagging on the men in the U.S. when it's truly not the men. Our society has become dominated by laws and corrupt organizations that do everything possible to give an unfair advantage over a man. Look at our Domestic Courts, NOW, CSEA, law makers. It's all about money and who has the money...usually the man. A woman here in the U.S. usually only cares about the money, not about being a partner. It's very simple, women in other countries are raised differently. In the U.S. they mostly have a Princess mentality and carry that through adulthood. It's a fact, the divorce rate proves it and it will never change because its all about the money.
babyboy 1st March 2011	the divorce rate is so high because of the lack of communication taken by each partner, but i am trying to find out how we can eradicate the increasing divorce rate.
vince 25th February 2011	I believe God bas ordained marriage as a holy institution so before you enter into it you must not have a divorce as an option .Each of the couple must he complement the effort of the other

Honey Buns 21st February 2011	I think that it's hard to judge a book by it's cover. People tend to think they can judge others on why their marriage went down hill, but the thing is...you just can't. The reason I say that is because only the two people married to each other knows why they decided to divorce. I think it all comes down to if you still love each other. Sometimes...hard as it is to believe...people fall out of love with each other. No one can judge unless they have been put in the same position. As for the U.S being number #1, it's because we have the freedom of speak and will. In the U.S & Canada, everyone as a person is equal...doesn't matter if you're a woman or man. The countries with lower rates are more of the countries where the woman do not have equal rights as the men...keep that in mind.
Kaustav 15th February 2011	I don't think that these facts are much telling about the integrity, or lack thereof, of the people from countries where divorce rate is high. It is true that divorce brings lots of problems in its wake, but it is equally true that maintaining a relationship just for relationship's sake, when all love and understanding is lost, is more damaging to everybody, to the people concerned, as well as their children. In countries where the divorce rate is low, it might be that it is so because people tend to endure more than giving way, and not because they all have love and understanding with each other, and while endurance is one of the cornerstones of any relationship, a relationship can't stand on it alone. Having said that, the high divorce rate, particularly in America, as substantiated by endless gossips about stars divorcing one to marry the other, bearing a child without father, even not disclosing his name ('bastard' won't be that strong a slang there, I guess), do seem to suggest a high degree of decadence, insofar as suggesting that commitment isn't a big deal there, they live and think by the moment, not by commitments and promises they are not sure they would live up to, and if they are comfortable with their values, so should be the others. Only we should not let their culture affect ours, for that would be unholy..
Courtney 13th February 2011	All of you people talk about how american women are the problem, when in reality it isn't just us. Believe it or not it is not only american women that get married in America. People from your countries come here and get married looking for the American dream. Once they find their dream they divorce and try and find something even better. Also not all American women are prositutes. Not all of us drop what we are doing and screw a guy just because we feel like it. Those kind of women don't set expectations for themselves and never will. My family cares about who I marry and I wont marry someone that my family doesn't like. It's not just our people that are causing these divorce rates in America. I am going to wait as long as it takes to realize tbat I have the right man for myself. I am in no hurry to find "love"
minakshi 12th February 2011	i m very lucky i m indian inspite of havin highest population india does not appear in top 35 this is merely bcoz indians value relationships our culture traditions respect 4 others all of this counts marriage is how 2 different personalities lead a single life its really a tough but lovely challenge god has put to human beings

JREED 5th February 2011	I am an America white woman. But I do NOT "screw at the drop of a hat". What a horrible thing to say. Consider this, white women will be a minority in America soon. We as Americans have lost value in morals and our young women are steadily showing that. I agree with that. But not every white women is worthless. People can't communicate with each other anymore. Everyone jumps to hate. Hate will not bring peace to the world or decrease the rate of divorce in America. What we should be more concerned about it how many of those broken homes have children in them! And what can we do to help them cope!!
Hariprasad.k 3rd February 2011	ha ha ha nice comments..........all these divorce because of planed marriage, similar like a planing in business for future profits, it will not work in marriage because it is the matter of emotional not a logical, our life will no go according to the plan, so it is better to marry is according to Indian system, no plan, no strategy for living, accepting how life goes, living based on the contest, ...........In simple words I can say, live not with compromise , live with understanding each other and love each other...........be ready to accept both bad and good of you partner and not only good.........If there is true love there will not be divorce... the only one reason for divorce is lack of love.
that guy 26th January 2011	Why is divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it...
Moguyaro 26th January 2011	Couldn't agree more with what Matt and Ashley said. In the developing countries the culture and society frown on divorces. In Ghana if there is a divorce, it means that both man and woman have failed and brought shame to their respective families. A lot of people will not like to live with that kind of shame so they take their time to marry. Marriage is a life long journey with a dependable part. Someone who will stick by you when the going gets tough or smoothly. In Genesis, God was the one who officiated the first marriage ever recorded and hence all marriages must begin with God. I believe its not about the way the women or men in a society but the reason for marrying someone. Even though US has the highest divorce rates, they also have some of the most beautiful marriages there.
Jamie 25th January 2011	bheadh,others: In the US (and probably elsewhere), polls show that men are happier in marriage than women. Perhaps that due to the inequities that remain in an American marriage. Before women's lib, it was much more difficult to get a divorce; now, most states have no fault divorce, making it easier for women to escape verbal, emotional, or physical abuse. That most of the divorces in the US are initiated by women is testament that American men still don't know how to treat their women. Also, divorce in low in other countries because laws make it more difficult to get one.
AlbanianQueen 23rd January 2011	American girls fall in love to quickly, but not all. Also their parents don't care who they marry so that's probably why the divorce rate it so high.
Tunde Showemimo 22nd January 2011	The Nigerians are the best, the marriage is NO WAY OUT here!!!
Salim 18th January 2011	American women are not marriage material anymore, they screw at the drop of a hat anybody from anywhere, no standards at all. I think any man that is serious about finding a wife and starting a family would be a fool to consider american women. The worst women today have to be caucasian white women, they got a bad reputation of spreading their legs for ghetto rats.
j 7th January 2011	When life is getting impossible for valid reasons divorce is an option. However, kids must never be ignored,their life should also be planned out.
matrixnation 3rd January 2011	It's a sorry story. To even think of the idea of separating from one you once adored only goes to show the wisdom or stupidity of the choice made by those affected, in this case either or both partners.
Syed Arbab Ahmed 3rd January 2011	Give and take, Patience such things are now absent in this world, which is causing this cutting of ties not only between individuals but also among families. That's pity.
william 28th December 2010	Marriage is not basically an idea of man but from the Divine Being who loves to establish human into a relationship with Him. Basically it is His project with His own engineering design. Man makes his own design that contradict God's. Man's role is to love his wife because he is designed to lead. Wife's role is to submit under the umbrella of man's leadership. These distinct roles do not mean that superiority - inferiority complex but complementary. It is difficult to fulfill by human effort that is why the LORD said, "be filled with the Holy Spirit". If marriage God's idea then we need His loving influence upon us as an antidote to marital split. If man breaks it he suffers the malady brought by himself.

Jasmine 13th December 2010	If people are allowed to get divorced, they should allow gay marriage rights. Just saying!
Eric 12th December 2010	It is never God's will for people to divorce. The New Testament shows us that the only accepted reason to divorce is adultery. Our God has given us free will which is the reason why people, like yourself, can have such a misguided view of God and why people divorce. It is their will, not His. If you truly took the time to study before you speak, you would realize how off you truly are..... FYI - God is spelled capital G-o-d.
Electra 9th December 2010	I'm 15 years old and this is serious. Not growing up with a father is tough. And God has nothing to do with it because nobody knows for sure so why t=say things that are most likely false? And don't dare tell me I'm wrong just because I'm a kid. Divorce isn't funny and it's not great for the kid either.

Zwelethu M Mdletshe 21st November 2010	Marridge is something that comes from God. From the book of genesis, we see that after God has made Adam, God saw that Adam needed someone to help him. This shows that the perfect time in which a person get marries comes from God. Marridge is not about sex, its a lifetime commitement. Some relevant scriptures Isaya 8:17 Genesis chapter 3 1 CORINTHIANS 13
brian 20th November 2010	One quick way to stop the divorce rate would be if you want to leave the marriage ok.BUT YOU TAKE NOTHING WITH YOU. That would stop these woman in thier tracks.Maybe then they would marry a man for love and who he is and not for money.
Vick 19th November 2010	Mr James India will still surprise you because the Indian marriages and traditions and the marriage acts are pretty strict..that even if a husband calls his wife by his girlfriends or indian actress name...he cannot get a divorce like in the glorified west...where divorce is the order of the day for silly things like wife forgetting to wake the husband up in the morning.. so..too bad to disappoint you...there:P
Eva 18th November 2010	So how can the U.S. deny gay marriage when straight people can't get it right at all, in fact they make a mockery of it plain and simple!! and by the way...I'm straight!
James 17th November 2010	I am surprised India is not on this list. These days way things are going in India it should be on the top of divorce list.

Justsaying 10th November 2010	Whoever decided the reason there is a higher divorce rate is becuase of women, yeah sure. But only becuase we finally have to the choice to say no to poor husbands. I'm all for standing by your man, but let's be honest, there's no way any women to should have to stay with a man who beats her, who cheats on her (which was far more common back when women couldn't seek divorce), or is a poor husnabd in general. No one man or woman, should have to live in a situation like that. It's ridiculoud. And furthermore, men are going after foriegn women becuase they have a drive for sex that women don't have and they constantly need sex, and foreign women are a fantasy that's easy to get off on. Seriously, where do you get your ideas. We all have the right to life, liberty, and property, the last time I checked those words were written for every American citizen, not just men.
AK 7th November 2010	Wondering what year these stats are from? 2009 or 2004?
You+can+retire+now 6th November 2010	I agree that the USA has the highest divorce rate. I would also say Florida is # 1 for divorce. Each state has different laws and no-fault is a majority. Florida Judges have their own set of rules they go by & do not follow the state guide lines. It takes 2 people to agree to marry and 1 person to seek divorce. Cheating, adultery, marital law & common sense is not used in granting divorce or alimony. Fact a lot of men and women use marriage as a retirement incentive. People do marry for money and with no-fault law makes it easy. A young couple has no idea what marriage is about and will find out that the vows made on the day of marriage are not considered during divorce. A couple can get married in a church but a divorce is through the courts. (Why marry in church when there is no laws that can be used to protect the vows). Chance of a marriage lasting a life time has little hope. If a person made a plan for how to live their life. There are a lot of things to look at: Education is something that can never be taken away and is an asset. Working for an employer that provides a retirement. Marry someone wealthy. Marry into a wealthy family. Plan to get alimony as it is the best incentive to live a secure and happy life. This is a little known fact and what that means is to marry for money and live with a person that you love. A lot of women have filed for divorce and ask for alimony, then had a live in boyfriend for life (co-habitation). Mostly women go for the alimony and there are men that seek women to live off. If you do the math you can retire comfortable for life. A smart person will only marry with a prenuptial and not commingle assets. You can co-habitat and still be covered under the employed partners health insurance. File for Social Security Disability (benefits and early retirement). (Have you ever noticed the disability tags hang on a vehicle rear view mirror and watched a healthy person get out) Shop for the Doctor and Attorney that will get Social Security Disability. Attorney fee's are 40% of the lump sum for the past 2 years if he wins and nothing if he looses. Your monthly payments will be all yours. Anybody can get disability if they do it right. (Attorney William Turkist in Clearwater, FL.) He can help you find a Mental health doctor or find one yourself.

bheadh 5th November 2010	Feminism has ruined marriage in the U.S. Also pornography, moral deterioration, lack of spirituality and abortion have also played their part. Look at marriage statistics before Roe vs. Wade. Why do you think American men are seeking foriegn wives? With spoiled, money hungry women using their husbands for personal gain. Its no wonder. Therefore lots of love-less marriages going on.American men have become the ultimate "Johns". American women have turned into whores whos only object of love is personal self gratification and money!
sunny 30th October 2010	Folks this data may be right coz it is not essential that countries with hugh population should have the maximum number of divorce cases too.in India mostly women seek divorce on account of uncompatibility with her husband but this happens in certain circumstances not oftenly.

hi 21st October 2010	this is bad. u.s. u need to get your act togeter! im from here by the way, my parents are not divorced but many kids at my school are. it really affects them, parents should try harder to reduce divorce because sometimes the kids go insane from it, taking drugs, depression. either that or help your kids out, take them to counseling or something!

Geoff 14th October 2010	Only with open eyes will people see the truth. How can you know the truth if your own heart deceives you? Your happiness can only live in truth to be real. If you put your own happiness in self alone you will never understand. Come with me a moment. Marriage was given by God right? Well why was divorce given by Moses? This was answered by Jesus himself when he said it was given for the hard hearted. Those of you who believe divorce exists in Love. You understand & speak from a hardhearted person. You will never wholly know the fullness of Love until you wake up to yourself. If that offends you it is because it is the truth. If you don't believe in God why do you get married apart from that you are a fool. Marriage is a gift of beauty from Love himself.

RLO 9th October 2010	The divorce rate suggests that people will not stay in an unhappy marriage. I don't blame them. People should pick better partners, adjust their expectations or just plain stay single.
War and Peace 9th October 2010	Actually,More and more people are realizing that countries who let women wear a viel(to discourage unnecessary sexual stimulation) is actually a responsible country who take effort to stop war with other nation by evolve its' own culture. Compare to countries who encourage porn and lust, indulge its' men into obsession with sex, which led men demanding more and more bribes,mistress and prositute. Inevitablely when the resources became scarce, they invade other counties to get the resources they want. This kind of nation and its' culture is neither responsible nor sustainable.

Ric 8th August 2010	I had three months of marriage and 5 weeks of being a father so my Russian wife could gain Australian residency and welfare benfits. I am just surprised what little i could do about child and spousal abuse as a male. After 15 police calls and losing most household items of value, i was just told to leave the premises and told by other organisations that i must be lying as men abuse and not women (99.7% of abuse in Australia is apparently by men. - she threw my newborn daughter, hit her on two occaisons, screamed in her ear over two dozen times to instill fear in her against me, threw objects like my laptop in front of her, and abandoned her to chase me as i left the building and her abuse. This was all to get me to do a Mel Gibson which i didn't. I'm also shocked that the courts ignore all hard evidence and immediately decide that i should see my child only a few hours a week on grounds that she said it was me and not her and nothing more. they disregard financial abuse and her assets as well. i have photos, tape recordings, statements form people, emails, text messages, and more. I wonder if anyone else sees that the people who prosper from divorce are the lawyers charging two days pay per hour, and woman organisations asking for donations. with a third of the female population on welfare benefits as single mothers, i can't help but wonder that feminism has been replaced with retirement planning. Australia, US, UK, Canada and NZ are in the top 8 countries of divorce because of a legal system making use of anti-male propaganda from feminism that promotes divorce. Don't get me wrong, i support equal opportunity and believe females need support, but then they say that there is discrimination in the workforce. If you remove a third of the female population for single motherhood, then its a little hard to have half of the workforce as female. more like 67% vs 33%. As for my daughter, I am scared that she is with an abusive mother who only sees her as a meal ticket. Family courts in Australia do not accept video evidence; do not consider immigration fraud; ignore abuse by women; and allow husbands to be murdered if the 'abuse' claim is used disregardless of no hard evidence of it. Then movies like SALT add more worry to my situation
upset mannn 8th August 2010	spain isnt here. why not? :(
Albert 28th July 2010	Here are the two main reasons for the cause of divorces in United States of America. It's the culture and the court system. Women have no loyalty to their husbands. They go to bars to drink, mingle with men, and sleep with them. Women may marry men for love from the beginning, but most end up marrying them for what they can get from them. Few men can support their insatiable spending. Once the men can't support their spending, they are looking for someone who can. Also, American men don't care if a woman has children or married a million times before. There is no stigma for being divorced. In most divorces, the court system favors women, granting them child custody and spousal support. It's a win, win for women in a divorce. They get the children, the spousal and child supports, and the freedom to sleep with any men they desire. It's a fact in the U.S. Women can get sex easier than men. All they need to do is to go to the bars, they will get picked up by men for sex.
Norm 25th July 2010	Procreation is a word. It's not a political stance. Pro-life is a stance; procreation is not. If you're in favor of creating new life then I assume you would be pro-procreation.
JG 17th July 2010	Countries where divorces are easily granted tend to have higher rates of divorce. And divorces are most easily granted in heavily feminized countries. Therefore, it's safe to conclude that feminism is bad for marriage and families. Also, in heavily feminized countries, women are the ones who initiate most of the divorces, and women are the ones who walk away the big winners. Therefore, it's entirely rasonable to conclude that women in these countries will not marry for love. Rather, they will marry simply because the law allows them to take advantage of men.

Laura 30th June 2010	I am 35 now and my parents divorced when I was 11. I have to say that the day when they formally divorced was the day of my new life because I finally start living in a life without fight. Before that day, my sister and I were scared to come back home after school. We draw a picture of god on the wall and prayed for this day. For the couples who suffer from each other, the best way is to say bye to each other. It will help yourself and your kids as well as the people around you. If you are not happy, how do you expect to make the people loving you or you love to be happy?
Donnie Latuch 28th June 2010	How about actually knowing the person you are having children with? Sex does not equal love. Love does not equal common sense. There are far too many men and women having sex first, and then getting to know their partner after the fact. If you care about children, stop making them without a plan to raise them first. Also, the no-fault divorce is destroying this countries moral standards. Families are far too disposable. Just another example of spoiled Americans gone wild!
Sara 24th June 2010	I think the real reason why divorce rates are high because people 'have' the opportunity to get divorces. It's not about male chauvinism or feminism, yes those sort of things happen everywhere, but when you think about it actually quite makes sense that the country with the highest divorce rates will be developed countries. The reason why developing countries have low divorce rates is because they don't allow divorce, and consider it taboo. Just because the country has a low divorce rate, it doesn't always guarantee that the people would qualify as good spouses. That is the most common misconception. People need to understand that there are good and bad spouses of every country, and that developed countries have higher divorce rates because they have the ability to get a divorce, unlike poorer countries.
hysteria 22nd June 2010	What is sad is that there are so many people preaching about "don't get divorce," or reciting the Bible. If the relationship is physically, emotionally, or mentally abusive- get out. No one will help you but yourself. Some people cannot be "cured" with counseling or jail time. Divorce is the ONLY answer at times.

krunk18 3rd June 2010	The answer is simple to end the divorce problem. Don't jump into a marriage if you do not know the person. You should date someone for at least a year before you decide to marry them. Call me old fashioned but it makes a lot of sense. It does NOT matter the circumstance you should not get married unless you really know the person. There you go, if people would just listen to the simple logic the divorce rate would decrease.
SK 26th May 2010	As per data/facts the overall divorce rate in India over the years has been around 1%. But in metropolitan cities like Delhi/Mumbai/Bangalore/Chandigarh/Chennai etc it has been 7 % . And in Metro cities/urban India in the last 5 years it has been more than 15%. It is expected to increase to 25% in the next 3-5 years in urban India. The primary reason is that men have not been able to change with the times. India has been a male dominated society and men have always EXPLOITED women. Earlier the women had no choice as she was dependent on the man for food/clothes etc and did not want to be a burden on her parents. Now that women are financially independent why should they be treated like slaves? They can now take their own decisions. It is God's way of punishing these develish husbands and divorce them. They still want to marry beautiful/hot/professional women and then expect them to do daily house hold work. The men themselves want to roam around the world (onsite/etc)/client visits etc and expect their counter part women to stay at home and cook food. This is unfair . All women should unite and divorce such useless ,worthless, sick minded, fickle minded husbands. Divorce is definitely unpleasant but the only way for a woman to attain personal and professional freedom.Divorce in love marriages in the first year itself is very high(little less than 70% cases). Come on girls!! If u r feeling upset about you marriage for more than 6 months then its time to look for another guy. Believe me u will find lots of good guys who are single and willing to marry divorcee girls also provided the emotional bonding is strong.!!! Being a divorcee girl is no longer a taboo in indian society. Divorcee women are thought of as experienced , wise, mature and responsible women who were unlucky in their 1st marriage. Various marriage website's have been based on this concept only.. No need to fear.Come out and explore the world. Never anything great has been achieved without enthusiasm. Pls note:-Neither bow down to the husbands wishes nor get swayed away by his sweet talk. If upset for more than 6 months then go for 'Divorce with mutual consent' . This is the best way to get divorce in less than 13(12+1) months of marriage. The earlier you get divorced the better for you.The earlier u can relax and start looking for better grooms and men. Believe me u will find lots of good guys who are single and willing to marry divorcee girls also provided the emotional bonding is strong.!!! Being a divorcee girl is no longer a taboo in indian society. Divorcee women are thought of as experienced , wise, mature and responsible women who were unlucky in their 1st marriage. As for religion, Hinduism never allowed men to ill-treat their wives. So dont think that what will GOD think? If a man ill treats his wife then believe me God will ensure that he gets divorced soon and does NOT get a new wife untill he improves and promises not to repeat the mistakes he has done in the past . For those men who dont improve..they are doomed. Have faith in GOD and take the best decision based on the circumstances u r facing. Best of Luck!!
Janelle 17th May 2010	Divorce between American men and foreign women: 20%. Divorce between American women and foreign men: 75%. American 'Disney Pricesses' are a lost cause. - John Obviously you have quite a negative view about American women. But, mind you that American women are far less likely to take abuse, rape, and a lazy man without a job than an overseas woman who is likely to put up with it. My advice, look for a team mate, not a mommy for a wife. Disney has nothing to do with it. Obviously you have a great deal of sociology to study.
antony 16th May 2010	What God has united let no man put an asunder.
Billy Bob 11th May 2010	So "Zach", I assume by your statement to "Nyrie" (which came across as quite defensive) you believe divorce is not wrong? So that means you don't care about or love your spouse (if you're married) enough to be committed to them in marriage. Otherwise you would think divorce is wrong. Am I right? And if you do still get married, it would generally be for selfish reasoning? To fill ones sexual desires, financial situation, status quot., etc. Oh, and by the way (beyond what the Bible says about it) divorce is wrong because it means whoever is leaving is self centered. They are thinking about their own needs rather than the needs of their spouse or children. They don't care how it will effect their spouses or childrens lives. Then when their children are messed up when they get older they think it had nothing to do with them leaving.
GLORIA GASAWAY 1st May 2010	WHEN TWO (MALE & FEMALE) ARE JOINED TOGETHER IN HOLY MATRIMONY THEY TAKE A VOW BEFORE GOD AND MAN AND THE TWO BECOME ONE.THEREFORE, WHEN DIVORCE TAKE PLACE IT'S AS IF YOU ARE RIPPING YOURSELF APART.(LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER) TAKE TIME AND LOVE GOD (PUT HIM FIRST IN YOUR LIFE, ASK GOD TO GUIDE YOUR DECISIONS, DESIRE TO LIVE RIGHTEOUS, DESIRE TO BE A GOOD HUSBAND OR WIFE, DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD, DESIRE TO BE A GOOD FATHER OR MOTHER AND LEAN NOT TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING BUT TURN TO GOD), LOVE OTHERS, LOVE YOURSELF, AND WHEN THE RIGHT PERSON AND YOU DECIDE TO MARRY IT WILL LAST. THIS IS HOW CHANGE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WILL TAKE PLACE, ONLY WHEN WE TURN BACK TO GOD.
Bill Gonzalaz 21st April 2010	I think that we should improve our nation's divorce rate i mean look at all that data and yet ever 2 minutes somebody gets divorced it that not sad for us humans?

Raj Shakya 26th March 2010	Nobody wants to get divorced! If one partner wants divorce becasue of any reason, another cannot resist it. It is just conditioning. Divorce is good for those who suffers from marriage, but bad for those who loves, for them time goes wrong. Just do not divorce for small matters, dialogues and positive attitude can reduce the rate of divorce. If one things that s/he will find out a perfect partner is mere self-delusion. So why not try to change ourselves or our partners if she's potentiality?

Josh 21st March 2010	AMEN Dan! Don't be a part of the statistics!
Matthew 19th March 2010	What really is destroying the sanctity of marriage these days? Well the answer is simple. It is everyone. 50% of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce. 41%-50% off all first marriages end in divorce, 60%-67% for second marriages, and 73%-74% of all third marriages. Divorce rates are increasing at an alarming rate and continue with the main reason being infidelity. In my personal opinion I believe that marriage has become a huge joke. It really has become a piece of paper that says when you cheat or if you piss me off I get to leave with half your stuff, if I depend on you for income you now have to support me until I die or remarry, and if there is children evolved you will pay for those as well. In my opinion there should be a ban on all marriage and only allow a civil union for the legal purpose of property. It is not for love these days, it is a business arrangement between two consenting adults.
sandy 18th March 2010	what i need to know is, what should be the christian perspective on divorce? can anyone answer that for me?
Dan 14th March 2010	STOP GETTING DIVORCES PEOPLE. We marry because we fell in love. You can get that back. We all see statistics rising in all areas of negativity in the world yet we all continue to contribute to them. Get our morrals back. Fight for family. Fight for peace. Togetherness not selfishness. Start loving, foregiving and doing what is right and not what we feel like doing. Lets make a change.We see the statistics on children in divorced homes. Dont we care about our own children? STOP GETTING DIVORCES. Go to marriatal councelling for life if you have to.
Zach 14th March 2010	"Nyrie" Should you ever return to read this, I would just like to know in what way(s) divorce is wrong. Please do not site ancient scriptures of any sort. If you are going to make a definative statement like that, please provide why you are so sure of yourself. Like everyone else, I am up to my ears in opinions. However, I do not spout these beliefs in others direction as though they are fact without providing some reasons as to why I believe what I believe. Thanks.
Larsiella 12th March 2010	The value of Marriage has been so deminished with no fault laws that allow people to get divorced simply because they have grown apart. Marriage is not just a "try to see if you like it" or "when the going gets tough just run away". I'm sad to think that this is what society has no established as their values. Where has the sanctity and power of marriage disappeared to. So your man is now a jerk, then why did you marry him in the first place? Are we now so nieve that we think there is no one in the world worth waiting for that is going to treat us right. I am of a belief that marriage is and should be hard but those who work at it grow stronger and then so does the relationship with their spouse.
Ashley 9th March 2010	What these highly conservative men do not understand is that it is not feminism that has caused divorce, but unfaithful men and women who marrry in the heat of the moment and regret their decision shortly afterward. They believe that because they can do something, they should, without planning for the future. Many times there are so many differences of opinion that they find the person impossible to live with. Do not blame the for getting devorced, but for marrying. In most countries if a person marries the wrong person they are miserably stuck with them for life. At least in developed countries they have to OPTION to get out of an mentally or physically abusive relationship, a luxury many people do not have.
Nyrie 3rd March 2010	Divorce is wrong! If you knew you had like 1% doubt about your love...why even bother to get married!?!?!? Think, people!!
Rajsakya 24th February 2010	It is really gloomy picture of human society. More advance and more psychological stress. In the rich country, marry through love, in the traditional societies people marry then love. Since, none is perfect so no love is perfect, but what is important is to change our mentality towards life and humanity. Why in the West, children are abused with rate? Because of the problems of the parents. Western societies must think about the joint family where children could live and grow safely. Many teens in the west, sale themselves for survival, and education. It is because in the West they have culture to separate from parents after graduation or before. In the case of not having proper source income, they are compelled to sell themselves. We must protect our children!We have to start to change from ourselves, then society and state. Structural change should be long term strategy and self-change should be immediate. Thanks!
Millie 21st February 2010	This is very sad that people get divorced. In my country we get married FOR LIFE and if a man would like to participate in sexual intercourse with another women he simples marryies her also Love, Peace and Hair Grease x

Joe 12th February 2010	In the US after 10 years of marriage, sometimes even less, a women gets alimony forever. This is regardless of the reason. And there is no limit as to the amount she can receive. For-instance she could screw a man’s best friend in front of him, send him to jail, that is after he objects to his wife's infidelity, this is called spousal abuse. Then legally have him pay her for ever when she decides to divorce him, this is usually after ten years of marriage. He may even have pay child support for his new bastard child. Some guys realize she is just waiting for the ten year mark to cash in and divorce before she gets a permanent paycheck from him for doing nothing. But most guys are unaware of what awaits them and fall into this trap. Feminist have made it their mission to destroy the male headed family, that is patriarchy. This is one of the chief goals of feminism. Through taxation, the unauthorized transfer of wealth that gives all kinds of undue benefits to women. This is at the expense of men who are routinely demonized in America for being men. Men suffer under the unfair legal system currently in America.

Ann 9th February 2010	It is rather absurd to blame women for the divorce rate. Women in non feminized countries are subject to extreme abuse and lack of freedom. If women in feminized countries do initiate divorce more often, as your opinion-not research states, it is for good reason. Usually they are being abused psychologically, physically, or expected to put up with male infidelity. Try digging deeper for some data on the grounds for divorce reported before you make grandiose assumptions about women. On top of that try having a more successful career than your husband. That will end a marriage because the male ego can't handle it. The real problem lies in men. The only difference is, in the U.S., we have the right to protect ourselves and our children from abusive men.

Paul 12th January 2010	I agree the women in the USA are the ones always asking for the divorce but what most people don't know is how hugely different the divorce rate is for women with college degree vs no college. More than twice for a girl without a degree. Marriages lasting less then ten years you can double that rate again. Yes nearly 4 times, Now just why?

G 15th November 2009	There is something wrong with Mr. Pavan Singh blaming Feminism as the cause of divorce in other countries. He needs education. And his comment smacks of male chauvinism, the disease that exists in most patriarchial societies. Divorce is not a simplistic issue.
kristen 11th November 2009	i have this presentation on divorce to do for my social studies class and i need more info on it and also the rate of divorce in Jamaica.
Pavan Singh 10th November 2009	Countries where divorces are easily granted tend to have higher rates of divorce. And divorces are most easily granted in heavily feminized countries. Therefore, it's safe to conclude that feminism is bad for marriage and families. Also, in heavily feminized countries, women are the ones who initiate most of the divorces, and women are the ones who walk away the big winners. Therefore, it's entirely rasonable to conclude that women in these countries will not marry for love. Rather, they will marry simply because the law allows them to take advantage of men.
Gus 30th September 2009	Statistics or not, everyone realizes that when women went on the rampage and took their clothes off in the developed world, the family foundations cracked, extending all the way to the government. A country's moral foundation is the basis of family life, which is in turn the pillar of society. Once that's busted, the government and institutions are affected. The whole society is now a bunch of illegitimates, drug addicts, felons, wacky psychos on medications, perverts. And their children will be worse. There is your civilization.
badeth 16th September 2009	The divorce statistics clearly shows that divorce is rampant in many countries. Obviously, US got the highest divorce rate. With the rampant divorce trend, it’s quite rare to find couples who’ve reached the maturity of their marriages. It’s more likely possible to divorced couples who have had 3-4 years of marriage. Today, divorce is granted for about 60 days, and spouses can claim for mind-boggling spousal and child support.
Adu-Larbi Richard ,GHANA 16th September 2009	I am a final year student writing my project on the topic "The relationship between the choice of a partner, preparation towards marriage and marital sustenance" Could I please get information on the divorce rate in Ghana and Africa?
berna 12th September 2009	According to statistics, one out of five marriages lasts for 50 years and 50% of marriage ends in divorce. Obviously, US got the highest divorce rate. With the rampant divorce trend, it’s quite rare to find couples who’ve reached the maturity of their marriages. It’s more likely possible to divorced couples who have had 3-4 years of marriage. Today, divorce can be easily served for about 60 days, and spouses can claim for mind-boggling spousal and child support. The propensity of divorce comes from the change in gender roles. Today, most modern wives tend to work outside their homes compared to the traditional wives. Women who spend most their time for work and other outside activities commonly missed their “motherly” roles. Bad thing about it is that it brings deteriorating effect of divorce on children and contributes to the breakdown of families.

This mental problems are Bipolar (is it 20% increase? in the past decade - may be someone can correct me on this- along with increased depression and suicide as a whole among the industrial based US society. Are farmers market another attempt at becoming agrarian culture to escape family break down while harvesting, procuring, preparing and eating "together"? Are "nuclear families" exacebationg conflicts and putting personal needs above family (social) needs? Is excessive "privacy" another factor encouraging adultery along with an "open" society where men and women work along side each other?

I think divorce is caused by various factors which can be categorized under economical,social and political factors. But economical factors carry a bigger percentage among young couples and then followed by social factors like influence of relatives and religious differences. Political differences have caused divorce in few families compared to the other two factors.

gurkha (london, Uk) 12th July 2008	I am british-nepali and have married an indian girl raised in the UK. marrying me she went against her family and traditions, and the consequences have been horrific. Her family has treated me as if i were a piece of garbage for years, insulting me, calling me and my family names, etc. Now, i decided that i don't want to deal with them anymore. The more i've come to learn about the hypocricy of the indian culture, the more I've become disgusted. They have very little feeling and they only care about their money. They feel superior to any other race and are so narrow-minded it makes me want to puke. The more i avoid them, the happier i am. Anyoen esle who had a remotely similar situation to mine, I feel will definitely agree. good luck to anyone about to marry an indian. you got lot to face from the indian spouse's family!

George (Sierra Vista, AZ) 15th May 2008	From what I am seeing on this graph the way to find out the number of marriages that end in divorce you would need to devide the percentage by the populus. Such as 1000 devided by 4.95 would come to 202.02 so esentially 202 of all 1000 marriages have ended in divorce, that is if I am reading the graph correctly.

Douglas (Mo.) 26th March 2007	Hello I have no problem with the accuracy of most statistics as a whole. It seems though that many variables are ignorantly omitted or purposely neglected in order to arrive at a preconceived idea. To arrive a an accurate % or average per capata of divorces of a group of people, there are so much that is unknown i.e., OIXCFreligion ethics, homosexuals, # of marriages, laws pertaining to, ratio of men to women, the list goes on and on. It seems to me that we must separate,enumerate, evaluate, etc.,and at best we may arrive at maybe a still unknown accuracy base.

julie (ny, usa) 15th May 2006	when it says per 1000 people, does this mean including people who aren't married? This would skew the statistics, especially for countries that have a much higher or lower rate of marriage to begin with. Would make more sense if it was: (percent of marriages that end in divorce).

Eugene Merrett 21st October 2005	I read in a Dorling Kindersly book on population that 75% of marriages in Cuba end in divorce. Perhaps this is because Cuba is a socialist country with no private property. There is no economic loss in being divorced. I think it proves that marriage is a unnatural phenomena which has been created for practical economic reasons. Life long love would appear to be unnatural!
