Is US Work Culture Killing Marriages?

Promises are indeed meant to be broken, but when it comes to marriage, heartbreak or divorce is always nasty. And when it comes to the people in the USA, it is becoming a part of their life. A stat came out that 2.3 couples out of 1000 end up in divorce, and when it comes to separations, the stats are way up.

So, what is causing the breaking of marriage?

Though the most probable answer can be assumed as infidelity or extramarital affair, it is far from the truth. Forbes Advisor publishes a report regarding the reasons behind divorces, and shockingly, lack of family support comes out at the top.

Now, you can blame the heavy work culture that has affected modern men and women. People are building a distant nature which is the root of breaking multiple relationships.

Past data suggests that the USA has one of the busiest schedules in terms of the ‘working class’. An average workweek consists of 47 hours, which is more than any developed nation. And a good number of people are unhappy with their current work, so that’s reflecting in their love life as well.

Besides lacking family support, there is a lack of intimacy which is causing the breakage of 31% of marriages, which is absolutely astonishing. The clash between work and life is also reflected in here.

There is also the burden of the American lifestyle which has a humongous effect in terms of finances as it is also coming out as a major reason.

Given the recent lifestyle changes, the dangers of such high divorce rates are also lurking in India.
