Recently, CNBC reported that the number of divorce parties held in the United States increased significantly last year, and most of those who hold parties to celebrate divorce are women.

Once upon a time, social culture generally regarded divorce as a bad thing, and women were even ashamed to mention failed marriages. However, nowadays divorce has gradually been regarded by the public as a "natural life event." Data from the Pew Research Center, an American polling organization, shows that Americans' views on marriage and divorce have changed greatly. 55% of the surveyed ***s said that a bad marriage life has made them lose their good expectations. At the same time, only 23% of people think that marriage is more important in life, and as many as 71% of the respondents emphasized that having a good job and achieving career success are more crucial.

Experts pointed out that more and more people are beginning to recognize the positive significance of divorce as this "unconventional life milestone" and turn this life turning point of divorce into a special life experience through celebration. For example, after divorcing, Ms. Levin, 53, invited 30 friends to celebrate in a bar. She said that this move is not only to commemorate the end of an unhealthy relationship, but also to thank friends who have helped her through difficult times. And this divorce party made her feel very "healing."

Divorce parties come in various forms. Some couples will make special "divorce cakes" and invite relatives and friends to witness; some people will choose to return the gifts received at the wedding. This phenomenon reflects the changes in social concepts. People pay more attention to personal feelings and quality of life. They no longer regard divorce as a shame but embrace a new life stage with a positive attitude. However, this has also triggered in-depth thinking and discussion among all sectors of society on the transformation of marriage concepts.
