Is marriage outdated?

As divorce rates go higher and higher, one comes to think that marriage might be outdated in current society. But why are divorce rates going up every year?

I think its because of women getting equal rights as men. Dont get me wrong, I believe they are entitled for equal rights, but it is also a cause for the escalating divorce rates. Women today can get the same jobs men can. Money is an instant ego boost for any specie, no matter what form it is in. This leads to women having larger egos then men. How can they raise children if they hate the idea of being a housewife. Back in the day, man went to work, came home with money and provided food on the table. This was a perfect balance of egos in the marriage. If a woman makes more money than her husband, the husband will probably have low self-esteem even if he doesn't show it publicly. This might not be a problem in the beginning but will lead to emotional turmoil in the future. Why is that throughout history women have not been granted equal rights as men? There has to be some sort of reasoning behind this. On an individual basis, womens' rights are obviously impacting them in a positive way, but for marriage, I think not so much. The numbers are there to prove it.
