what are the problems today causing married couples to get a divorce?

Question

The divorce rate is getting higher and higher, I was wondering what are the major problems causing the couples to get a divorce, and if there's any way to solve these problems, or preventing them?

Answer 1

you know what i didn't read here.... how people who get divorced work 2 or 3 times harder on dating than they did during there marriage... i know lots of divorced people...of both genders... and i see them fixing themselves up more... trying to stay in touch with everything, so they carry good convesation...to doing complete makeovers... if only they spent that effort before they probably wouldn't be divorced.... the money and those other reasons exsist with the after marriage partner as well - its just accepted and so it goes un-noticed... and finally - people don't have respect for the institution of marriage... and so without its respect - it becomes less sustainable with each passing generation.

Answer 2

Every relationship is different, but there are some common threads with the ones that fail: lack of respect, lack of effective communication, conflicts over finances, emotional/verbal/physical abuse are a few that come to mind. An ability to look at your partner's perspective, and not just your own is critical. Perhaps the most important ingredient to a viable relationship is the underlying friendship that should be the basis. I was married for over 20 years, and the erosion of trust was the main cause for the divorce.

Answer 3

There's lots of reason's for divorce today. Lack of communication is the first and foremost. Then there's abuse, physical or mental. Jealousy, stress, money problems, ex wives, or ex husband's getting involved in the new marriage. Step mom's or dad's not getting along with the others kids. Plus divorce today is simple and is not looked upon as something wrong. Years ago, the divorce rate was low. If you were divorced you were looked upon as strange. Now days, it's nothing to say, I'm divorced. Sad but true. You really have to love your spouse deeply to be able to communicate to one another, through the bad times and the good. This is the secret, to talk, talk and talk. Even if you don't agree, to talk and to listen saves a marriage from divorce.

Answer 4

I'd agree its money. They say that money is the answer to everything and history and scripture and science all point out that slavery produces cruel perverse and aberrant behaviour in all creatures, for both the enslaved and the slave.
We have a saying in our family, that someone is a piece of work..that means basically if you do someone elses chores for them and they simply pay you but when you ask them to do anything for you they charge a king's ransom, because what they say is valuable work is valuable.. in other words they expect everyone to do their job for them. Having children is a job, it's the parents job they should do it.. Also if all traditional women's occupations are minimum wage category then maybe marriage has become legalised slavery and greed is the only motivating factor. Also if guys who aren't suits can't get work paid daily and it's whatever the employer throws their way and prosperity and godliness are equated it's pretty hard to gain the respect of anyone.
Sometimes I think that it's true though Godcreatorgoddess sponge blob is just a piece of work and if it wasn't so hard to get good help they wouldn't be offering any rewards..threats and her murders, her thefts, her adulteries..sponges are takers..and a piece of work, yup money and money again.

Answer 5

Aside from a cheating spouse, money and children are usually the major causes for divorce. I think sometimes that people marry to quickly without really getting a chance to know who they are as individuals. Marriage is about compromise and growing together. It takes work and committment and just because you hit a rough patch doesn't mean its doomed.

Answer 6

Choosing the wrong person in the first place. Young people today get all out of whack over sex. They think just because it's GOOD you are in love. People used to have more common sense about this. Sex was sex, but choosing a marriage partner was not just based on emotions. You may have enjoyed kinky, jungle sex with the hot bad boy but you didn't MARRY him. You married the stable guy with a career that was raised right and will raise his kids right and be your life PARTNER.

Answer 7

The biggest causes for divorce is money, cheating, lieing and what ever else. I am going through a divorce myself which is almost finalized, but the grounds that caused our divorce was money, cheating, and lieing. So each divorce situation is diffrent for every one

Answer 8

Well i think i could answer this one quit well....I am going through a rough time in my marriage at the moment my wife wants to leave me for good we are seperated atm but our main problems that really have made our marriage bad was lack of communication, Money (as all will say), and my one time of not being strong enough to tell someone no( use your imagination).

Answer 9

MONEY. young couples today want all what their parents have. but what they do not understand is that their parents had to work hard to get it, so they have to work hard to get it. instead, they start arguing cause he gets a new truck, then she gets a new car, then he gets a new boat, so she wants a new patio, etc. then they start blaming problems on his drinking or her shopping habit.. which in turn causes large arguments which causes divorces

Answer 10

Preventing divorce is impossible because everyone doesn't marry for love. Everyone should marry out of love, but they don't.
