Lack of Communication - As I’ve mentioned in my previous blog, lack of communication is one the leading causes of divorce. A marriage will surely be on the rocks when the lines of communication fail because communication is very important in all relationship. A relationship without strong communication will usually have misunderstandings and this will result into fights and when this usually happens, one of parent will certainly want to divorce. A relationship will not work out if they don’t discuss their feelings, don’t talk about personal issues, keep their anger by themselves and just expect the partner to guess that what the whole problem is about.
Financial Issues – “Money makes the world go round” and so is a relationship. When times are hard and both parties have different spending and saving habits, arguments about money will surely rise up. It will cause disagreement between the couple. Though money is not always the primary cause of divorce, nonetheless, it’s a significant factor.
Abusive Behavior – There are many kinds of abuse that can cause couples to divorce. It can take form of physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Degrading his or her partner through using harsh languages may also lead to divorce.
Infidelity – In almost all cultures, one person should only have one lover which means one spouse should only have one sexual partner. But there are times when one “cheats” on the other and this will lead to infidelity and will most likely end in a divorce. A single cheating may sometimes be forgiven and worked through but habitual cheating will just worsen the breakdown of the marriage and relationship.
Sexual Problems – It’s a fact that sex is an essential part of a marriage. Married people are expected to do this act and when this need isn’t met, this can be the basis of getting a divorce.
Incompatibility – Researchers show that incompatibility is the most-cited cause of divorce. However, there are many kinds and forms of incompatibility. Sometimes, couples may not be able to find common grounds in terms of their emotion, intellectual or sexual desires. Incompatibility situations are sometimes too unbearable to live life with that a couple should need to divorce.
These are just 5 of the common causes of divorce but here are some other reasons:
- Lack of Commitment
- Alcohol Addiction
- Inability to Resolve and Manage Argument
- Personality Differences
- Differences in Personal and Career Goals
- Lack of Maturity
- Different Expectations about Having Children
- Falling Out of Love
- Cultural Differences
- Lifestyle Differences
- Mental Illness
- Criminal Behavior
Some also say that people who get married between 23-27 are most likely to stay together than people who marry in their teens. Divorces also often happen because couples don’t discuss their expectations before marriage and this is the funny part that I found out, couples also get divorce because of trivial reasons like snoring.
