The number of divorces in Russia has exceeded the number of marriages

145,000 marriages and 160,000 divorces were registered in Russia in the first three months of this year. Experts say that divorces are not caused by financial problems, but rather by the weakness of the spiritual bond between the spouses, the lack of adaptability and the ability to negotiate. Also, there is a low rate of divorce among those married under 30 years of age.

According to Rosstat, 145,000 marriages and 160,000 divorces were registered in Russia in January-March of this year. Russia is experiencing a crisis in the institution of marriage . In the "Year of the Family " announced in the country, the number of divorces exceeded the number of marriages by 3%, which means that today there are 103 divorces for every 100 marriages, the publication "Nakanune" wrote .

According to experts, the reason for divorce is not only financial problems. Lack of spiritual ties between husband and wife, psychological problems of each member of the family, and inability to agree play no less role in the increase of the number of divorces than material problems.

Psychologist Anna Zakaidze said that today people are not ready to tolerate each other's shortcomings . Because most of them get married after 30 years. During this period, everyone has already formed their personal habits, and their mentality does not accept flexibility, they are intolerant of negotiation and negotiation, which are considered important for peaceful living. According to statistics provided by the expert, those who get married before the age of 30 are less likely to divorce later.

"Why do divorces happen? The statistics are changing, the financial side of the issue is not really the first thing, the first thing is the misunderstanding, people can't hear each other. Everyone should have psychological knowledge, there should be courses for newlyweds to take before starting a family," says the psychologist. The downside of government support in the form of pay and benefits, the expert says, is that people marry to get benefits. What does this lead to? "Now we have a lot of divorces among people who have lived together for 20-25 years. When children grow up, there is nothing to hold them back. "

According to statistics , 35% of families do not break up because of children. This is what keeps a marriage together. "When children fly out of the nest, partners realize that nothing binds them anymore," says the expert.
