Let’s put it this way….. many of our grandmas didn’t WANT to stay, they HAD to stay.

People don’t stay in unhappy marriages for as long as they used to decades ago, especially women have more options and are no longer a man’s property. This is a good thing, even if the divorce rates are higher, it’s a good change overall.

Children out of wedlock and the removal of God from the home and school and fathers in prison. Not just one reason alone.

Culture

Divorce was illegal lol

Women aren’t “stuck” in marriages anymore. They work and have their own money to file for divorce is they need to.

More options for women and men, more financial independence and free will than to live in an unhappy, sometimes dangerous marriage.

Social media turned people into narcissists

Women didn’t get access to their own credit cards or a mortgage until 1974. No-fault divorce became legal in 1969, and views on the role of women were obviously very different. Essentially, they were trapped. It has nothing to do with love or how we handle it, it has to do with the rights of women and the freedoms autonomy we all have.

Laws changed and more opportunities became available to women.
