Top 10 Countries With Highest Divorce Rate In 2014 by Songitto(m): 3:43pm On Sep 18, 2014 |
Divorce means the life-partners get separated from one another for a lifetime. It is true to say that divorce is a slap on the face of our societies, it accompanies destruction of not only two lives but also two families. The reasons of divorce can be varying, such as the lack of mental compatibility, lesser mutual interactions, no babies, and sometimes the jobless men are left by their wives because they have failed to run the families properly.... Here is the list of top 10 countries with highest divorce rate in 2014. 10. Canada: Canada is a developed nation, but with various social problems. The people here remain too busy in coping up with the challenges of tomorrow and don’t spend time with their families. This is one of the reasons of increased divorce rate in Canada, in addition to various other family issues. It is considered that the rate of divorce in Canada during this year has increased 50 % from 2013. 9. India: Although India is a country of rich cultural and religious values, but still it has an alarming divorce rate. The people of India are living miserable and backward lives. The lack of job opportunities and education among such people are the reasons of the divorce. The men fail to earn sufficient to support their families and thus leave their wives. The estimated rate of of divorce in India is 2100 cases annually. 8. South Korea: The divorce rate in South Korea, during this year, has tripled as compared to 2013. The common reasons of this issue in this country are lack of mutual understanding and no time to spend with the partners, which lead them get separated. 7. Russia: Russia, although, has become a developed and economically strong country, but the internal issues like crimes and divorce rates seem to be not ending in the near future. In Russia the rate of divorce, during 2014, has increased 65.4 % which is a serious matter indeed. 6. Ukraine: The male community of Ukraine is of dominating nature. For them their wives are the inferior personalities and this usually becomes the reason of increased divorce rate in Ukraine. This rate has increased almost 43.5%. 5. Italy: Italians live hectic lives, all the men and women in Italy are professional and do different sorts of jobs. They fail to pay attention to each other and to the children and thus lack of affection becomes the reason of divorce. In Italy, the divorce rate has almost doubled than the previous two to three years. 4. South Africa: Whenever a boy and girl in South Africa get married, they are strongly adviced by the parents and relatives to live with each other. Sounds strange? Don’t get surprised because unfortunately the South African partners love to live apart due to professional reasons. This gives rise to lack of love and sexual relationships and finally they get no room of compromise. In South Africa, 61.2 % is the current rate of divorce which was about 34.5 % in previous few years. 3. Aruba: Divorce in Aruba is a common habit of the people belonging to villages. These live somewhat poor lives and lack of earning opportunities lead them get involved into divorce or murder like issues. The men kill their females because they don’t have anything for them to eat. This is, indeed, a very bad and shocking thing but still it’s the truth. In Aruba the males are dominating and don’t care much of their wives, this is yet another reason of divorce rate, which according to the current stat has 81 % increased. 2. United Kingdom: It is obvious for us to understand why the divorce rate in United Kingdom is so high, definitely the people here are open minded and don’t pay too much attention to their families. If on one hand, the married men have girlfriends then on the other hand the wives are not behind the race to spend time with their boyfriends rather than the husbands. In different cities of UK, the divorce rate has doubled (about 53 %) from what it was in 2013. 1. United States of America: USA is a nation of multicultured people. In order for the USA citizens to cope up with the challenges of advancements and development, they live really hectic lives with lots of workload, which means no time for the families. Thus, USA has the highest divorce rate in the world which has five times increased during this year as compared to 2013. http://www.top10for.com/top-10-countries-highest-divorce-rate-2014/ |

carefreewannabe: Your confusion and lack of understanding are glaring; - Circumstances can change, but commitment does not have too. - Indeed, not only can love fade, it will fade - as a feeling - your commitment to loving however, remains. - As many reasons as there are for a marriage to turn sour, there are more for it to remain, deepen and become sweeter over time.

TV01: You could have made your point without snappish remarks. - Circumstances can change, but commitment does not have too. My commitment depends on several factors. One of them would be my partner's behavior. - Indeed, not only can love fade, it will fade - as a feeling - your commitment to loving however, remains. Love does not necessarily have to fade. It can change and become even deeper and stronger. Did you say, I was confused? If love is a feeling, how can I commit to loving? It is either I feel it or I don't. - As many reasons as there are for a marriage to turn sour, there are more for it to remain, deepen and become sweeter over time. True and depending on the individual situation a person can have more reasons to leave than to remain and vice versa. I'd counsel you to apply advice #1 until you get it.

TV01: Believe it or nor but I respect it. I just have a problem when you say that people should be stigmatized. I don't think anyone has ever dreamt of divorce so if people divorce, they have their reasons and it is not for us to judge them. Then why make it? Why not? The decision to be committed does not mean that it is a do or die affair. In all likelihood it will wax and wane I think you confuse love with infatuation. Infatuation will definitely fade. Love is a different thing. ...and scared. It's probably your main driver regards marriage ! I am not scared of marriage as I have the possibility to leave it when I decide to. If... You said love was a feeling. Commit then love. If you love then commit, your commitment will fade with the love. Regardless of your spouses behaviour. I commit to who I love, not the other way round. And I commit to a person that deserves it and as long as this person deserves it. The person stops to deserve it the day I discover that the relationship/marriage is in some way destructive. Like I said, it is therefore not a commitment. More of a wish...and the union a fairytale ! Commitment does not mean that you accept and tolerate anything. You can be committed for some time and then decide that it is better not to be. 2 Likes |

I don't think anyone has ever dreamt of divorce so if people divorce, they have their reasons and it is not for us to judge them.Divorce should be stigmatised. And if breaking a marriage is to have no moral value, why should solemnising one? carefreewannabe: Why not? The decision to be committed does not mean that it is a do or die affair.So you want the "do" without the "die"? The decision to commit does not mean you have to marry. carefreewannabe: I think you confuse love with infatuation. Infatuation will definitely fade. Love is a different thing.No, I do not. carefreewannabe: I am not scared of marriage as I have the possibility to leave it when I decide to.If there is an open door, then it's not marriage. If there isn't then you are fearful or don;t actually want marriage. Not for the right reasons anyway. carefreewannabe: You said love was a feeling.No, I said if it's a feeling, then it will fade or wax and wane. And is no basis for commitment. The commitment is love. carefreewannabe: I commit to who I love, not the other way round.Then when the feeling goes, the commitment follows. carefreewannabe: And I commit to a person that deserves it and as long as this person deserves it. The person stops to deserve it the day I discover that the relationship/marriage is in some way destructive.So it's really based on how you feel? Not on the commitment? In which case, why make it? Why marriage? You can have any number of alternative arrangements and your variable commitment. Why seek a vow of permanancy, when even as you make it, in your heart, it is not necessarily so. carefreewannabe: Commitment does not mean that you accept and tolerate anything. You can be committed for some time and then decide that it is better not to be.If what you accept,tolerate or feel are all subjective, why take vows. You can co-habit, live apart and visit, be partners, lovers or anyhting you both decide to construct. Why seek marriage when it doesn't fit the model of your relationship? TV 2 Likes |

TV01: I don't know if I fully understand it. Divorce should be stigmatised. And if breaking a marriage is to have no moral value, why should solemnising one? I don't think so but you can continue throwing stones if it makes you feel better. So you want the "do" without the "die"? The decision to commit does not mean you have to marry. Exactly, I want the do without the die. You got it. No, I do not. Ok. Then we have a different understanding of love. If there is an open door, then it's not marriage. If there isn't then you are fearful or don;t actually want marriage. Not for the right reasons anyway. It is marriage as long as two people stay married. I am sure that many marriages would be much happier if people didn't take it for granted that their spouses will stay no matter what. No, I said if it's a feeling, then it will fade or wax and wane. And is no basis for commitment. The commitment is love. I understand. So it's really based on how you feel? Not on the commitment? In which case, why make it? Why marriage? You can have any number of alternative arrangements and your variable commitment. Why seek a vow of permanancy, when even as you make it, in your heart, it is not necessarily so. This is why I believe that marriage is not a good idea. I don't want anyone to be with me because he thinks that he has to due to the vow he took. Nobody can promise anyone to love them forever and marriage understood as obligation to be with someone forever is not what I consider a good plan for the rest of my life. If what you accept,tolerate or feel are all subjective, why take vows. You can co-habit, live apart and visit, be partners, lovers or anyhting you both decide to construct. Why seek marriage when it doesn't fit the model of your relationship? Exactly! Why? It is for those who feel it is ok to stay with someone even if it doesn't make you happy, which can happen and which happens very often. 1 Like |

carefreewannabe:I agree. I wouldn't even say you have a good understanding carefreewannabe:I'm not throwing stones. The notion of divorce should be stigmatised. It's for the overall best. I maintian my position that if you understood marriage you'd appreciate that. carefreewannabe:Then what you want is not marriage, it's something else - and no one is denying you that something else. And neither are we denying you marriage - only you want marriage to be structured after your own desires. Sorry, no can do. carefreewannabe:And as love is in some sense abstract, we can have differences as to what it is. There is not necessarily right or wrong, good or bad in ones definition of love. carefreewannabe:No, by definition, it's a marriage as long as vows are taken and the two remaion alive. Although I appreciate the legalistic approach that can be taken to it. And I also appreciate that the legalistic approach has not only not improved it, it has seriously impaired it's utility. carefreewannabe:Your funny thinking...so you really think a man or woman in a marriage would feel secure and at peace knowing their spouse could simply up and leave at will? Or that succumbing to temptation would be less likely knowing that you could just leave if the attraction was intense or strong enough? carefreewannabe:Actually you don't..and if the discussion progresses, I'll show you why. carefreewannabe:Actually, here's a convenient place to start; Firstly, marriage is not solely or even primarily about you. And you first error is to parse it solely in terms of your desires and the outcomes for you alone. Secondly, are you not revealing more confusion, by saying you respect it and at once claiming it's a bad idea? Would you respect an idea like a "mesh parachute" or a "windscreenless car"- would you use one? Thirdly, love - as a feeling - is not and has never been the basis of marriage. You vow to love someone when getting married. Love in itself does not warrant marriage. Love is an action, a commitment to honouring that vow. carefreewannabe:If you cannot promise to actively love someone for ever - as opposed to feel it - why take the marriage vow that demands that very thing? Free marriage, leave it for those that get it, don't traduce it. Reject it, don't calumnise it. No one is under any obligation to marry. You can be freelance FWB or FB for as long as you wish. You are not obliged to choose a lifelong relationship of mutual commitment and fidelity. How can one be obliged by something one voluntarily entered into? carefreewannabe: It is for those who feel it is ok to stay with someone even if it doesn't make you happy, which can happen and which happens very often.Like I said, you don't really get it. Your happiness is paramount. And your subjective assessment of happiness is the measure. That's not a mindset for marriage. Please don't take it personally. TV 2 Likes 1 Share |

TV01: Ok, this is the impression you have. I'm not throwing stones. The notion of divorce should be stigmatised. It's for the overall best. I maintian my position that if you understood marriage you'd appreciate that. The throwing of stones is a metaphor for what you preach. And it is definitely not for the overall best. It is what YOU think is best. Then what you want is not marriage, it's something else - and no one is denying you that something else. And neither are we denying you marriage - only you want marriage to be structured after your own desires. Sorry, no can do. First of all, this is your subjective point of view and your personal idea of what a marriage should be like. Secondly, who is "we"? And as love is in some sense abstract, we can have differences as to what it is. There is not necessarily right or wrong, good or bad in ones definition of love. I never said your definition was wrong and mine was better. I only said that we have different definitions. No, by definition, it's a marriage as long as vows are taken and the two remaion alive. Although I appreciate the legalistic approach that can be taken to it. And I also appreciate that the legalistic approach has not only not improved it, it has seriously impaired it's utility. You appreciate the legalistic approach though it has impaired marriage? Your funny thinking...so you really think a man or woman in a marriage would feel secure and at peace knowing their spouse could simply up and leave at will? Or that succumbing to temptation would be less likely knowing that you could just leave if the attraction was intense or strong enough? Nobody said that a man or a woman should SIMPLY leave their marriage. I was just saying that people would not take their spouses for granted if they knew that they are free people who can go if you maltreat them. Actually you don't..and if the discussion progresses, I'll show you why. I am waiting. Actually, here's a convenient place to start; Did I say it was solely or primarily about me? Did I say it was only about my desires? Secondly, are you not revealing more confusion, by saying you respect it and at once claiming it's a bad idea? Would you respect an idea like a "mesh parachute" or a "windscreenless car"- would you use one? I respect your views but I don't have to think the same way, do I? I would respect someone's choice of a "mesh parachute" or a "windscreenless car" if that is what they want but that does not mean that I have to choose the same for me. Very simple. Thirdly, love - as a feeling - is not and has never been the basis of marriage. You vow to love someone when getting married. Love in itself does not warrant marriage. Love is an action, a commitment to honouring that vow. Like I said, my commitment is not unconditional. If my spouse, FOR EXAMPLE, for one reason or another, changes in the course of our marriage and repeatedly beats me up, then I will definitely NOT commit to such a person. If you cannot promise to actively love someone for ever - as opposed to feel it - why take the marriage vow that demands that very thing? Free marriage, leave it for those that get it, don't traduce it. Reject it, don't calumnise it. Like I said, most people who leave a marriage have a reason or many reasons. I can commit to someone forever if the person takes the vows he made seriously. If he breaks them by, FOR EXAMPLE, beating me up, then I see no reason, why I have to stick to my vows alone. It takes two to tango. No one is under any obligation to marry. You can be freelance FWB or FB for as long as you wish. You are not obliged to choose a lifelong relationship of mutual commitment and fidelity. How can one be obliged by something one voluntarily entered into? Exactly! But if I decide to marry then I will do it without your consent. And if I decide to divorce my spouse then also without your consent. And you can judge as much as you want. And my idea of marriage is my idea of marriage and it concerns me and my partner. We have to agree on it, not you and not society. Like I said, you don't really get it. Your happiness is paramount. And your subjective assessment of happiness is the measure. That's not a mindset for marriage. Please don't take it personally. No, my partner's happiness is very important to me. And if I fail to give him what I promised before marriage then he is free to go. He married me on the condition that I show him love and respect. 3 Likes |
