What is your main reason why couples divorce?

Answer 1

I think because they give up to easy. The first time there is a big problem, instead of working it out, they get divorced. If they would just work through it, thier marriage would actually be stronger.

Answer 2

Lack of communication, both before and during the relationship. If couples can't talk to each other openly about their aspirations, beliefs, fears, desires, needs -- basically anything, really -- the relationship will deteriorate. Maybe not right away, but over time, people change. If you don't maintain that open honest communication, spouses eventually can grow to no longer understand or love the other.

All of the problems people list -- infidelity, financial problems, lack of trust and respect -- all stem from a failure to communicate with the other partner.

Answer 3

People change as they get older. Sometimes couple grow together and other times they grow apart. Marriage is difficult, and if both people aren't willing to work through the hard times, then they will end up divorced.

People give up way too easily! They say their vows, but they don't truly take in the meaning and importance of them. I am pretty sure that there aren't too many couple out there that can't come up with something about their partner that frustrates them. How we handle those frustrations is what is important.

Answer 4

i think the reason couples are getting divorced more now a days is because people think they have to be in a hurry for everything nobody takes time anymore to just stand still plus alot of people have lost an incite to what a marriage really means theres lots of people out there that think the grass is greener on the other side plus its easy now people figure screw it if it doesnt work oh well ..

Answer 5

There is no main reason. That is one of the problems, actually. People oversimplify the problems, and then they expect overly simple solutions. Marriage and relationships are complex. The reasons that problems arise are complex, and they vary from couple to couple. There is no magical cause of divorce, no more than there is a magical solution to prevent it. Everyone is different.

Answer 6

Money
Sex
Difference in opinion like life view, finances, religion etc.
Abuse

And, my personal favorite, people who think they should feel that spark all the time and who don't understand that it comes and goes with time and hard work. A lot of folks divorce a good spouse just because they have settled into a marriage and think that means they must not be "in love" anymore.

Answer 7

Breach of trust in one fashion or another. When the trust goes the marriage follows.

Don't buy into that crap about people not trying hard enough and giving up too easily. Many people who make claims are either doormats or they married a good person who hasn't done them wrong time and time again.

Answer 8

Generally rushing into getting married to someone they are still in the honeymoon period with (ie jumpin into bed) without looking at the whole picture....then rather than trying to figure out why it goning or gone wrong and talk about it they divorce........

Answer 9

No communication and failture of working things out. Now a days if a problem comes along, the answer for one pf the spouses is to leave instead of working it out.

Answer 10

alot of it is finances and communication and the way your partner treats you it takes two to make a marriage work and also when two people take those wedding vows you should really take them to heart to many divorces goen on here in the 21st century
