Why do modern marriages fail?
- Many couples opt for a single child today. Many a time when a single child grows up, he/she find it difficult to adjust with their spouses because they have mostly been pampered by their parents and used to having their own way.
- Many married couples are both highly ambitious today. Money and career are more important to them than making their marriage work.
- Most couples in modern marriages lack patience to make the marriage work. A disagreement and quarrel is enough to make them file for divorce.
- Couples have high expectations from each other. If the expectations are not met, they are not willing to continue the marriage.
- About 15 years back, if the refill of a pen got over, we bought a new refill but didn't throw away the pen. Today it's use and throw culture. The refills cost more than buying a new pen. So people prefer to buy a new pen than buy a new refill. Similarly with marriage, if you don't find immediate happiness with your partner, then divorce him/her and find a new one instead of trying to find solutions to make the marriage work.
- People are ready to invest their time in social media, career, making more money etc, but are not willing to invest their time in making relationships work.
- Overinterference by parents who instead of advising their children to make the marriage work, encourage them to go for a divorce.
