what are the main causes of divorce?

Answer 1

The husband/wife is unhappy with their spouse's behaviors and habits.
Maybe the spouse's attitude.

Answer 2

women are the main cause. They are being fed all kids of crap. Women power. Male and female are the same. Male and female are not the same. Can be treated the same but are not the same. Women are looking for men that treat them better with time than with things.
A woman can be with a man that has a bus pass if he treats her good verses a man with a mercedes benze and is never home.
All you women have to gear up and treat your man number 1 to stay and number 2 to stray.
You girls have the power use it wisely not foolishly.
I am not on the woman side.I think majority is women fault for high divorce rate.
I have said what i said because women are not taght how to treat a man.

Answer 3

The main cause of divorce is the lack of effort by one or both parties to work through any and all obstacles within the marriage. Sometimes you just can't work it out.

Answer 4

I believe the main cause of divorce is being unfaithful. My first husband had a problem in that catagory, but now I have the best husband in the world(he is to me at least) and I am one blessed woman.

Answer 5

The #1 cause of divorce is finances. Money is the number one source of marital problems. If there are financial difficulties in the marriage it will affect everything else and creat lots of stress on the marriage. This stress creates tension which then leads to distrust, disloyalty and lieing about spending, affects intimacy among all other things.

Answer 6

According to Dr. Phil, the three main causes are financial stress, sex-related stress, and...you know, I don't think he's ever said what the third thing is. In my opinion, the main cause of divorce is disillusionment: people become disillusioned b/c they finally have to face the fact that marriage, their spouse, themselves, whatever, are not what they'd kidded themselves into thinking they were. Also in my opinion, this stems in great part from our huge (American) delusion that we're entitled to "the best," that we should avoid "settling" at all costs, and that the most important thing in the world is "me."

Answer 7

I think that you need to explore your question a little more. In the US everybody who goes into marriage knows that there is an escape. We have no fault divorces. You don't need a reason. Young people who get married don't truly understand they will be a different person in say 10 years. People either grow together or grow apart.

Answer 8

Some of the root causes for divorce are finances, kids, control issues, cheating, arguing constantly, not enough sex, and the list goes on and on but those are some of the top reasons.

Answer 9

I think the biggest cause of divorce is selfishness. Where one partner starts thinking either mostly or totally of themself, and what they want and need, and don't think of their spouse, the kids, and when that happens, communication stops, because if it's not what the selfish partner wants to hear, they don't listen to anything else.

And because of that selfishness, comes other problems that may get added into the relationship, like cheating.

Hope that this helps.

Take care and God Bless

Answer 10

Cheating!

Answer 11

money and infidelity....alot of times, people are in lust but they think they are in love...after the sex gets boring...they don't have much of a relationship....I believe in long engagements..a year or at least 6 months...even living together for 6 months to a year before making that commitment...that way you can get to know the person behind the facade you fell in love with.
