When a divorce is finalized, we say “Mazal tov!”
Why is divorce more common nowadays? I believe that women used to be more likely trapped in bad marriages. They were limited in career options and being a single mom had HUGE stigma attached if they could even pay the bills. Abuse was not really discussed. Many women (and less often men) were trapped in their marriage.
Most of the divorces I know were for good, valid reasons.
Many 2nd marriages fail because the person remarrying didn’t address the issues with the first marriage. Those issues don’t go away overnight.
