In recent years, the divorce rate in China has shown a trend of increasing year by year, and this phenomenon has aroused widespread concern in society. The increase in the divorce rate is not only related to personal happiness and family harmony, but also reflects multiple factors such as social changes and changes in values. This paper will analyze the reasons for the increase in the divorce rate in China from the economic, cultural, social and psychological levels, and how to reduce the divorce rate, so as to provide useful thoughts for building a harmonious society.
1. Economic factors: material foundation and marital stability.
With the rapid development of China's economy, people's living standards have been continuously improved, and the material foundation has been greatly improved. However, improved economic conditions have not led to an increase in marital stability. On the contrary, some people ignore the spiritual value of marriage in the pursuit of material interests, resulting in the fragility of the marital relationship. In addition, financial stress has also become an important factor affecting the stability of marriage. Against the backdrop of rising housing prices, education and other costs, many families are under tremendous financial pressure, which exacerbates conflicts and conflicts between husband and wife, which may eventually lead to the breakdown of marriages.
2. Cultural factors: the conflict between traditional values and modern concepts.
China's traditional culture emphasizes the importance of the family, believing that marriage is a major event in life and needs to be treated carefully. However, with the rapid development of society, traditional family concepts and values have been challenged. Modern young people pay more attention to personal freedom and equality, and their expectations and requirements for married life have also changed. When there are differences between husband and wife on family roles and responsibilities, it is easy to cause conflicts and conflicts. In addition, with the impact of foreign culture, some young people's attitudes towards marriage have become more frivolous, which has also led to an increase in the divorce rate to a certain extent.
3. Social factors: the marriage system and the changes in the social environment.
The reform of the marriage system has affected the change in the divorce rate to a certain extent. China's marriage law stipulates that both husband and wife can divorce when their relationship breaks down, which provides a legal guarantee for the breakdown of the relationship between husband and wife. However, some people rely too much on legal means when faced with marital problems, ignoring the repair and rescue of marital relationships. In addition, changes in the social environment have also had an impact on marital relationships. For example, the popularity of social networking has made it easier for people to have access to information and information from the outside world, increasing the crisis of trust between couples. At the same time, the intensification of social competition also leads people to face more pressures and challenges, which are often reflected in the family, increasing the contradictions and conflicts between husband and wife.
4. Psychological factors: changes in personal growth and emotional needs.
On the psychological level, changes in personal growth and emotional needs are also important reasons for the increase in divorce rates. As individuals grow and cognitively improve, so do people's expectations and requirements for married life. When there are differences between husband and wife in terms of emotional needs, values, etc., it is easy to have contradictions and conflicts. In addition, some people lack the necessary communication and problem-solving skills when faced with marital problems, which leads to escalating conflicts and eventually leads to the breakdown of marriages.
5. Strategic thinking to reduce the divorce rate.
In view of the reasons for the increase in the divorce rate, we can start to reduce the divorce rate from the following aspects:
Strengthen marriage education and family education, raise people's awareness and understanding of marriage, and cultivate correct family concepts and values.

VI. Conclusion. The increase in divorce rates is a complex social phenomenon that involves economic, cultural, social and psychological dimensions.
