People say that marriages just don't stay together like they used to. We young people are doing it all wrong. But are we? Is divorce a bad thing? One of the things that my sociology book finds to be the biggest cause of divorce is women in the workforce.
Why were there less divorces when men dominated the workplace? Because if they divorced how would the woman get by? Now she can leave abusive relationships, take there kids away from bad fathers, and so on. Not that it's always the dad, but the dad could have managed alone. He just would have been looked down upon, which women were too but once they could they apparently started to. I suppose the men are less evil when the women aren't left defenseless as well.
So maybe divorce isn't so horrible? Maybe we still need to be more careful about who we marry, but it doesn't seem to be the reason for higher divorce rates. They did that back then too.
