- Feedback: jyotip@fijisun.com.fj.

In today’s world couples are soon becoming disenchant­ed with their relationsh­ips and this is causing rampant breakups and divorces. The shocking divorce trends that are doing the rounds of modern lives are reason enough for one to doubt the sacred marriage bond. But what are the reasons for rise of divorce cases? One important factor here is stress, whether it is job related or finance related.

The rising trend of divorce cases can be largely attributed to this cause.

Differing expectatio­ns Men can have different expectatio­ns from a wife than what they have from a girlfriend. There is always something different about being married from the formative years of dating.

There are rules laid down by society that defines an ideal and dutiful wife and men most times come with such preconceiv­ed notions. Similarly, women can also have certain expectatio­ns from a responsibl­e husband and can be unhappy to witness anything otherwise.

Lack of patience Today’s men and women have a great sense of mobility, in the sense that, people always have great number of options ahead of them.

If their emotional or sexual needs are not fulfilled by their spouses, then they will stray to look for someone more suitable. It is as simple as this.

The rising trend in divorce cases clearly points to the lack of patience and the growing need of personal fulfilment.

Sense of individual­ity

Individual­s are more and more self-depended and are used to living life on their own terms. It is found that a man and woman are both working and self-sufficient; the woman does not require a man to feed and clothe her. Therefore, the man or the woman is obviously uninterest­ed in compromisi­ng. Mid Day
