Divorce in China

The divorce rate in China is growing. In Beijing the divorce rate more than doubled from 1990 to 1994, it went from 12%, to 24.4%. It is a reflection of the new social and economic freedom. Women want to be happy in their marriages. They want love and affection, to go with a sense of security. They want their husbands to stop having affairs, and treat them with respect. One woman reported that she had been married for 10 years, and her husband had never kissed her. This seems odd to me, it seems like marriage means different things for different people. How can you live with your spouse and never show them any affection.
