War on Divorce

What are some common reasons for divorce?

I'm from India and from what I know over there the divorce rates are very low (though these days it seems to have become more acceptable). In Western Culture the divorce rates are so high. Why is this so? From things I've seen on TV and from what I've heard from some people, divorce usually happens for selfish reasons. I'm guessing the two most common words said at the time of divorce is "it's over". It seems to some people, the right thing to do but what about the other person's feelings.

1. Marriage
2. i think more independent ratio of girls in western if a girl is independent in money matters then she can move uot from harsh things but if not anyways she will live with him
3. Cheating and incompatibility
4. it's all about money, sex and lies...it seems easier for couple to find someone else than work on a relationship :-)
5. Western society is ego driven, self-centred and blame casting. No one seems able to take responsibility for their actions and, moreover, for most people, it is just easier to get a divorce than admit to any personal faults or failures or actually work at a solution which might inconvenience them in any way.
6. In simplistic terms, the chick is whacky.
7. Common reasons are infedelity, abuse, fights over money, differences in spiritual/moral values, not getting along with in-laws. Some of that may be because in Western culture, there are more freedoms and different ethnic/regional groups with different ideas and expectations about marriage and family that don't mesh together well, but I think you summed it all up pretty well when stating that most divorces are about selfishness of one or both parties. It's the lack of commitment to uphold the wedding vows, and the idea that it's only supposed to last as long as it's fun and convenient. Both people have to be equally committed to put aside their own wants and needs to put the other and the needs of the family as a whole first. It's getting harder and harder to find people who truly look at it that way and will work at their marriage when conflicts arise and life gets tough!
8. Cheating, money, growing apart, sexual problems, poor communication, abuse, addictions, changes in priority, etc.
9. their are many reasons for it, cheating, money problems, addictions,,lack of communication, loss of intrest, sometimes you just fall out of love,,well I hate to say fall out of love,, love just changes,
10. cheating, dishonesty, just falling out of love with each other
11. Right this coming from a country that wanted to arrest Richard Gere for kissing a woman in public? Figure the "west" has progressed to a level where people can express free will and speech. It no doubt has something to do with divorce rates as opposed to the repressed society you live in.
12. Money. Cheating. Those are the two most popular reasons for divorce. I think that most issues can be handled in an adult manner if both the husband and wife sit down and discuss it. Many Americans do not understand the value in good communication, and give up very easily. As such, they rush into marriage quickly, which can put a lot of strain on the relationship.
