Boredom. People in the world are not as entertaining as the stuff in it and so there will always be some other dashing and exciting option or at least the impression of such an option.

And the more technology there is the more boring and easily bored people are, and the more boring and easily bored they become the more they use technology. It's a vicious circle.

And the time when people are more interesting than stuff is when people are still an unknown quantity. When you don't know them very well, when they're a mystery, the honeymoon phase. And when we've finished with this we dispose of them and replace them with another object or person as object in an endless repetition of monogamous recycling.

because both were to busy with work, career, raising kids.... during that time they didnt have enough time for each other, grew in different persons that they were before, and when career is there (stable), kids grown....they realized that they became two strangers living under the same roof.

^^^ Best answer so far.

Both grew into different people from who they were when they met and fell in love. They start asking themselves, What did I ever see in this person?

In my opinion, people don't put any work into it any more. Also, it's too easy to get divorced. If someone's not happy, they just bail. Everyone who is married should ask themselves, " What have I done for my marriage today? ". But that's just me.

^ This, plus what Lanna23 said

People can grow apart yes, but they can also grow and change together. Often a person will grow and change, but when we fail to inform our partners of the path we're on, everyone just ends up confusedconfused

I dunno about millions but I think the main ones are:

1. They don't love each other anymore or one stops loving the other
2. Cheating involved (financial included)
3. One becomes dangerously abusive
4. They know they can and know they don't have to put up with what they did in the old days.

Because one of the two is brave enough to get out of his/her zone of comfort and is willing to restart . Staying in an unhappy relationship sends wrong messages even to the children who know better and teaches them that a the wrong marriage is how things are for everybody . Leaving an unhappy marriage on the other hand sets a good example that there is a choice to appreciate yourself and life moving on to a happier life .

?Weak or no weak,brave or no brave,it does come the time,if a relatioship doesn't work,to say, had enough,good bye and good luck.
Of course some weak people,decide to stay, and suffer the consequences
of their decisions.

One of the main reason for divorce here is the greedness of man or woman.For example many men here ask for financial support to the lady parents after marriage and many woman wants the rich husband property to be converted to their name.But they dont know relations can not be build on moneycool cheers
