question What is the main cause behind an increase in divorce rates?

Are modern people no longer interested in the idea of marriage and taking their vows seriously such that an increase in divorce rates is due to that way of approaching long-term relationships?

The reason is most men don't like how no-fault divorce works (i.e. the irreparable breakdown of the marriage without any explanation given), moreso, divorce courts are known to be in favor of women than towards creating a balance.

The major benefit for some people is tax cuts. It pays off in the long run if you don't get a divorce later on.

But men usually always end being forced to pay alimony and child support while a woman ain't be told to contribute just enough and less likely to face jail time.

So with this in mind many young men don't wanna seal the deal.

But men usually always end being forced to pay alimony and child support while a woman ain't be told to contribute just enough and less likely to face jail time.

The issue is that most women rarely date or marry a man who earns less then them.

And if a woman earns more money than her man then she may not want to put up with thoughts of marriage as she no longer see this as beneficial later on in life.

If you look around you can see quite a few examples of very rich women who haven't been married because of that rationale.

So you think staying together without getting married is an even better alternative?

That's tricky because in some places if you have lived together for the past few years or so you are automatically considered to be in a civil binding partnership (i.e., cohabitation) which is considered to be the same thing as marriage when it comes to you breaking up and dividing assets.

On the other side of things when you decide to get married you can have a prenuptial agreement ("PNA" or "premarital agreement" ) set up, but in the case of "cohabitation," you don't so you could still end up paying alimony (i.e., "spousal support") even though you were never married.

Back in the day people would cheat in peace without getting caught up in modern ways of communication like social media DMs...

But all those social network DMs can be deleted it's just up to the player how he gets down in the game.

If you leave any exhibit, sure enough you can blame social networks all you like but that ain't it.
