SG's divorced rate increased almost 4% in 2011. That's bad news for SG. What could be the possible causes of this increased divorced rates?
Personal differences?
Work stress?
Addictions eg gambling, internet, sexual?
marriage dissatisfaction?
etc..
Tracy, this is pure guesswork on my part without any backing statistics, but I think the higher rate is more due to people willing to leave unhappy or unsatisfactory marriages, and not necessarily because there are more unhappy or unsatisfactory marriages.
Problems between married couples have not changed much, but the attitudes towards marriage, divorce and personal happiness have changed a lot.
