When my lockdown finishes in a few days there are bound to be plenty of divorces..I think people get lazy and just can't be bothered putting in the hard yards as they use to do

Sounds like dwindling and weakened convictions to commitment. Dislike that. I like seeing those relationships which can stand the test of time.

When I see an old couple holding hands as they shuffle on Those couples always put a smile on my dial
galrads: I can see that leading to the big D. But only men there looking for that special something?
it's all because the nagging finally gets the better of him ,,of coarse it's only men looking cos women don't need to look ,,,,, they can find a man on every street corner,,,,

Those older couples were joined together in marriage when there weren't so many requirements of each other. People got married back then because they loved each other and wanted to start a family. In today's world the family is started before there is any talk of marriage.
Divorce isn't such a bad thing if two people are always fighting. Neither one is happy and if there are children they know that something is wrong with mommy and daddy. Children don't see things in black and white. They see happiness, laughing, hugging and kisses from their parents.
In my marriage I had to divorce him because his alcoholism had taken it's toll on me. I had a four year old child that I needed to explain why we weren't going to live with daddy anymore. She understood because she saw him drunk time after time.
I think the day will come when few will take that vow that says to honor and love till death do us part. I'd rather live with him in sin and if things turn bad all I have to do is walk out the door.
The social climate has been changing drastically since the late 1950’s. Both men and women simply are unwilling to put up with whatever it is they don’t want to put up with. Compromising has become out of the question. Annoying habits of partners’ are no longer tolerated. The grind of daily living, especially in metropolitan areas, is so unnerving that coming home to a confrontational wife or husband is just not going to be tenable. And the tolerance of separation and divorce by society makes it rather easy. Why be bullied or nagged when one doesn’t have to? It’s easy to see why couples split. Everyone is fed up and frequently at the breaking point.

Would you like to come to Aus and stay with me for a while?
You often make sense and when you don't or I don't to you who cares

based on the headline, I would never guessed that this poll is about divorce what first sprung to mind was Dementia ,after checking the name of the author , Opening Poster I thought D stands for Diick
Marriage is more or less done to give youth a future and old age a security. It's a practical arrangement, a compromise where you do what you must because you have to.
All that changed for a bit because all baby boomers behave like a trust fund baby. The independence of unearned income, the easiest that it's ever been to simply stay alive which undermines the union of anybody with anything at all. Lonely at the top silver spoon.

Wrong, but then nobody would expect you to know what one looks like.
And as for posterity there you will find less divorce because there aren't as many marriages. You are dedicated to it or you are not. You cannot afford to be both because there isn't the insurance for failed ventures. One mistake perhaps but not again.
And then not being insured will eventually lead back to the 1960s. The sons of til death do us part have the nice music and the chance to make the same mistakes all over again, but for now the music is adequate.
