Divorce is becoming very common in today’s years. Divorce has become a new trend in society these days. Earlier generation used to settle the matter by talking among themselves instead of taking divorce but today’s generation is getting divorced instead of talking. What is the reason that modern relationships are not lasting for a long time? This trend raises important questions: Why are modern couples more likely to take this step? Are the reasons cultural, emotional, or societal? So let’s start and find out why this is happening.
key reasons behind this shift
Lack of Compatibility
The reason for divorce in today’s time is incompletion. Today’s generation has married under the pressure of society but due to the lack of completeness, the marriage is not lasting. Couples may find that their personalities, values, or life goals don’t align over time.
Example:
Suppose a young couple gets married and later they realize that they both have different things in common – one wants to focus on career and the other likes family life.
Why this happens:
Modern couples value individuality more, and if the relationship hinders personal growth, separation becomes an acceptable solution.
Financial Independence
With more women and men achieving financial independence, due to which there is a lot of happiness in their life and their relationships are becoming very toxic and this was not normal in the earlier generation, earlier they used to look for money so that they get a good partner and can live a good life but today’s relationships look for money.
Example:
In today’s generation, if a woman is promiscuous then they will troll and abuse their partner because it is her thing that she is doing it and not he is doing it to her.
Why this happens:
Modern societies are empowering individuals to prioritize mental health and personal happiness over financial stability in a marriage.
Infidelity and Trust Issues
The reason behind this generation’s relationships being ruined is the trust cookie. Today everyone is cheating on each other and they are also getting involved with someone else. Ever since the trend of one night stands has come up, relationships are ending. Trust is the cornerstone of any relationship. However, with technology making infidelity easier — from secret chats to dating apps — trust issues are a growing problem.
Example:
A partner discovering an affair or emotional cheating on social media may lose faith in the relationship, leading to divorce.
Why this happens:
The digital age offers both opportunities and temptations, and the lack of boundaries can weaken trust.
In 2022, using the available data on marriage and divorce, the rate was 1.6 per 1,000 people. Many countries’ data on the number of divorces for 2023 is pending, but based on the collected data for 56 countries, the average crude divorce rate in the world was about 1.8 per 1,000 people in 2023.
Today’s modern generation gives itself priorities. The rising divorce rates among modern generations reflect a shift in priorities and values. And the earlier generations, despite being happy, entered into relationships because they were concerned about their family and society’s traditional culture but today’s generation does not pay attention to all this and wants to make their life good. Divorce is no longer viewed as a failure but as a step toward a better future for both partners.
Ultimately, the decision to end a marriage is deeply personal, and understanding these trends can help society approach divorce with empathy and support rather than judgment.
