The study, which was carried out by YouGov, involved 2,000 Britons with 62% admitting they do not think divorce is a social taboo.
Only 4% of participants said they strongly believed that divorce is still a taboo.
The older generation was found to be more accepting of divorce, possibly because they have been in relationships longer and know the struggles couples face. The younger generation were also found to be accepting of divorce, but less so than their parents.
For the 25 to 34-year-old age group, they are more likely to see divorce as a taboo, probably as they are around the age of getting married themselves.
Relationship expert and Relate counsellor Christine Northam said: "Divorce has become much more familiar in modern life; it’s not the hushed secret it was years ago.
"Most of us have been affected by divorce, whether we’ve gone through it, know someone who has, or have been affected by our parents’ divorce, so the taboo status has lost much of its power.
"The generational difference in attitude could be put down to the young couples' proximity to parental divorce, and an unwillingness to repeat the same mistakes.
"I see younger couples anxious to try fix a relationship, but there are still vast numbers of couples who give up on marriage too quickly before seeking professional help."
In 2010, Britain saw its divorce rates climb to its highest ever level.
