What are the main causes of divorce?

Answer 1

Marriage...LOL!!!

Answer 2

The main cause in my husband/exwife divorce was that she cheated on him over 10xs but he stayed with her because he didn't want to put the children through a divorce. But he had to do what he needed to do and got a divorce. Now his youngest child (is not his) but he is still considered the father and has to pay child support to his ex wife for that child plus his 2 other children and he has to pay for the child thats not his because she born during the marriage. Which i don't believe that any man should have to pay for another mans baby. But that's the law these days. And you have to have a lawyer before anything can be done.

Answer 3

Everyone has his/her different opinions.. on what is the main cause of a divorce... but there is no main cause... in this time and society no one ever thinks twice on trying to make marriages work anymore. But there is a lot of lack of communication and the gender roles and how men and women expect more and less out of a marriage.

Answer 4

I think the biggest cause of divorce is selfishness. Where one partner starts thinking either mostly or totally of themselves, 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 5

I think that many people give up to easily. They can't give their spouses time to get through a rough patch. They aren't willing to put in the work that a marraige requires and they simply give up.
I also think that some people get married way to early in the relationship. When you get married while still in that euphoric, obsessive love stage, and things get back to reality w/ time, you're let down.
Of course, some things are just unforgivable and eventhough they hate to get a divorce, it really is the only option.

Answer 6

Main reason that I know is couples really do not take the time really know each other while they are dating. It important that couples sit down talk about things like do they want kids, will wife stay at home while husband work, can husband deal with his wife making more money them him, how much or little sex will they have, do either one of them have bad habits, background how did each one them grew up , religion, and so on.

Answer 7

cheating, although I wanted to get divorce way before that ever happened. I just felt trapped because I had kids and my mothers dumb advice I took. I was too young (for me) when i got married I thought I was in love but I wasn't. Damm people ur different when your in your 30's Im tellin you!!!

Answer 8

lack of communication, repressed anger, not expressing ones needs, and going outside the marriage to find the comfort u thought u weren't getting at home, but failed to ask for . misconceptions, wrong perceptions, inability to problem solve, lack of understanding or empathy for the other. selfishness, and giving up too early on something that wasn't broken.

Answer 10

Immaturity of one or both partners
Infidelity of one or both partners
Marriage does not solve problems - it just changes the problems.
All couples should have pre-marital counseling and also some couseling afterwards if they need help.

Answer 11

money issues is a big problem but alot of divorces end just because they've grown so far apart they can't get back the connection.
