There's no ONE reason for the high rates of marriage failure these days. Rather, I believe it's a combination of factors. Lemme briefly address A FEW of these factors:

1. Gender equality and role reversal:
In times past, the roles of men and women were clearly delineated. A husband was expected to be the bread winner, while the wife was to be the submissive homemaker. These days however, a lot of women would rather pursue careers (which I support anyway) and some even have become breadwinners. We haven't yet rewritten the roles, to reflect the new ideas. Hence, families are struggling to cope.

2. Social Media:
A lot of young people would rather advertise their problems on social media than talk through them with their partners. This has led to poor communication in the home. It's no longer unusual to see two or more people in the same room, smiling into their smartphones for hours, and not talking to each other. It's creating a real communication gap.

Also, a lot of people are so hot in pursuit of 'Likes' on Facebook & Instagram and 'Followers' on twitter, etc, that they fail to realise that this doesn't necessarily translate into love in real life.

3.Societal Influence and Religion:
The general (erroneous) belief that once a lady is 25yrs and unmarried, it means she has spiritual problems, has made a lot of women rush into marriage without really getting to know the man they're marrying.

4. The Rat race:
These days, families (especially us younger generation) are getting to spend less and less time together. We spend the greater part of our time at work, chasing money. This doesn't allow for healthy family bonding.

[b]5.Western Influence and Intolerance:
[/b]From Hollywood to Nollywood, it has almost become fashionable to divorce your partner at the first hint of trouble. The general reason is "due to irreconcilable differences". We no longer wish to sit down and address these differences, cos we feel we're being under appreciated by our partners. The grass is always greener on the other side.


There lots of other reasons...I'll just allow other people air their views

Vickybee:

1. Men are Sexists and Chauvinistic in nature
Most men are sexists and chauvinistic in nature therefore making them selfish and loathe independent women. They make denigrating remarks about women and you don't expect a serious, logical and virtuous woman to remain with such a rètarded being.
Women in other hand, are peace loving and cool but their anti-feminism husband keeps antagonising them and they don't have an option but divorce him.

Misogynist2014:
Amen my dear brother. Women type a lot of things out of emotions without considering how logical they are. Mankind has a lot of work to do to curtail them. Gen 3:16 comes to mind. The

Hmmmm

Interesting

But it is too weak

You do care

I have met men like you

I laugh when you talk

I don't even try to argue

Because the only power you would ever hold over someone would be your wife and your daughters

Edusouls:
is very simple, we planted the seeds of lies,dishonesty,mistrust,cheating,joking with each others feelings, and we practices wickedness with joy and commitment, what u sow u reap, we are reaping of harvest brother.

pussyaddict:
Hmm, well. So many reasons are responsible as mentioned in many comments. But I'll just like to add dat knowing abt temperaments (with dia strengths and weaknesses, turn up and turnoffs) can really help in relationships of any kind. Many of us think we knw ourselves when we really don't have an inkling about what caused us(and others around us) to transit from childhood into d adulthood personality we now have. It may suprise you that many intellectuals still unconciously believe everybody thinks like them.

However I have discovered over a long time dat knwing abt temperaments helps make an introvert a better person than it does to extroverts.

kay29000:
I have noticed that, in recent times, most marriages break up within 5 years. I have been the best man at two weddings in the last 4 years, and those couples are no longer together. Even some of my family members that got married in the last 10 years are no longer together.

Why is the case of divorce and separation so high these days. And if it is not divorce or separation, you read on Nairaland every day how one wife burnt the husband or cut off his manhood, or how a husband beat his wife to death.

Why is this so rampant these days?

Tolerance

Not everyone can tolerate cheating/abuse/lies/bad times
Many more

How far..your yansh still big?

Misogynist2014:
I think the solution to a lot of break ups is a coin. A lot of relationships (now that women are growing in arrogance), partners find it hard to be the first to apologize, maybe a toss of coin is the solution.

Misogynist2014:
That is no little power my dear . If my wife is the submissive type, I need not assert any masculine power, but if she's the arrogant type, she will be fed up. Trust me.

If men can find it difficult to submit to God

Much less a fellow man like themselves

That share most of their vulnerabilities if not all

You are a joker

A woman that would put up with you must have self-esteem issues

No woman, who know her worth, who she really is, who came from a normal family,who is independent and whose mere sneeze commands respect would put up with a man like you


A woman should be submissive but not according to your definition
