because their is alot of people to fall for and mess around with

infidelity...money...lawyers...marriage itself....promises are cheep these days. even from the ones you care about.

Because as Americans, there is a very good chance we'll become fat and lazy once we settle down with someone. Sorry, it's not nice. But there are statistcs to back what I'm saying.
-
Because we are too busy worrying about other peoples marriages to concentrate on maintaining our own.
-
Because people here marry for all the wrong reasons. They think that love is something that happens to you and something that you can fall in and out of, instead of a decision that requires commitment and compromise. They are motivated by feelings and never take into account their own personal responsibilities for maintaining a healthy relationship. We want it all handed to us. If the relationship has issues it's always the partner's fault.
-
Because other cultures have a tolerance for dalliances during marriage, while those in the US are serial monogamists.

Assuming this is true (nad I haven't checked it out), we Americans live in a very instant gratification, disposable culture. It doesn't matter that we can't afford something, might not need something or that thing may not be good for us. If we want, we get. Damn the cost, damn the consequences. Then, as soon as the fascination has worn off, we toss it. No replacement, no repair, no long-term care. Simply gone one day. We treat material like that, we often treat people like that. We have begun to lose the meaning of long-term commitment and permanence. This is, of course, a generalization and no one answer fits an entire country of people.

More people = more marriages = more divorces. Total number of divorces is going to be very high due to the size of our population. However, if you look at the number of divorces when compared to the number of marriages, then you get a different story. This leaves out all the non-married people, and focuses solely on Number of Divorces per 100 marriages, and you'll see that not only does the United States not top the list, it doesn't even show up! Looks like Belgium has the largest failure rate on marriages. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_div_per_100_mar-people-divorces-per-100-marriages

Simply because "DIVORCE" is legal here in states. Let's say they are afraid of facing family crisis. Instead of discussing and thinking of solution to make their relationship bond, their aid is to file a divorce. I do believe in the saying that two people bond together cannot be separated by any means(not only death), they should fight for their "LOVE & FAITH". Couples have solemn promise - till death do us part!

Am not in US, but i think becouse there husband and wife are too busy, all time work and no quality time even for fighting so where love??? offcourse absent other place e.g in Africa, wives have sufficent time for their husband, and their children. it's only my opinion.
