Reply To: Facebook Is To Blame For Rising Orthodox Jewish Divorce Rate?

I wasn’t describing my parents marriage. But my parents had friends that stayed together for the kids. A divorce was considered a shanda. It’s not that way now, particularly in the shidduch generation. There are a number of families in my town whose kids were married at 19 divorced by 21. Among the reasons: immaturity, misrepresentation during the shidduch process. Also, girls come back Israel where seminaries fill their heads with idealized ideas of marriage but do not equip them with the knowledge that there will bumps in the road and the tools to enable them to deal with issues without going right to divorce
