why do marriages end in divorce?

Answer 1

There are so many different reasons some legit- such as, abusive- mentally, physically, sexually or emotional,
infidelity, drug abuse, safety concerns, I am sure there are some more.
Then we have the "lame" excuses, such as not happy, fell out of love, just not what we used to have, etc. Which basically means, 1 of the 2 or both aren't willing to fight for and work on their relationship. It is easier and less time consuming, and I am sure funnier to just walk away.

Answer 2

Years of research by psychologist have shown that most long-term marriages have some very common factors. Lack of any two or more of these factors indicates there is high probability the marriage will not last. (Long term –is defined as a marriage of more than 20 years)

1. Both parties married at age 25 or older.
2. Religious compatible (example: Jews + Hindu just do not work)
3. Common goals (someone likes a simple life, not chasing material wealth or career and some that is very goal minded for gaining as much material wealth as possible, together they do not make a lasting marriage. Another example, a conflict over having children).
4. Social economical compatible (poor + rich only works in the movies)
5. Financial responsible (debt is the number one cause of divorce)
6. Open Communications (agree that it is ok not to agree, tell each other your most hidden secrets, keeping the secrets from everyone, no name calling, and etc)
7. Both parties are very much alike (opposite may attract, but they do not make for a lasting marriage)
8. Sexual compatible (variety in sexual act is good, but a partner that finds some acts repulsive, does not make a lasting marriage).
9. Both individuals are not egoist. (a egoist believes that everyone would be happy by making them happy)
10. Neither party to the marriage has a history of abusing drugs/alcohol.
11. Both individuals have not mental illnesses.

Answer 3

because in order for a marriage to work both people need to be on the same page about things. Communication is key. Serious relationships take a lot of time and effort and I really think a lot of people these days do not take marriage seriously. People are getting married too young or too soon (before they are ready). Marriage is supposed to be religious/sacred--a lifetime committment. Unfortunately that has changed in this country :-(

Answer 4

Divorce or Death There's not many ways a marriage can end. Wonder what the % end in death verses divorce?

Answer 5

Because people don't put a lot of thought and energy into it. They marry like bunnies mating with no care to where they are headed or why in life. The important questions haven't been asked or answered and they still rush head on into that wedding day dream. You cannot marry a dream of marriage. People put more thought into buying a car.

Answer 6

What else would they end with? Everything inlife ends with death so another name for a death of a marriage is divorce or dissolution of marriage in legal terms. But not all marriages end in divorce,some end when one spouse dies;widow(er) in time.

Answer 7

well. some people rush into marriages like they said before but some times people just dont agree and connect anymore , thye have lost there spark. sometimes they didnt even like each other in the first place like they could have gotm pushed into a marriage. unfortantly, these things just happen but some marriages end up great and they live together till death but sometimes it doesnt...hope this helps ;) byeebyee

Answer 8

when our grand perents were young it was hard to get a devorce an there wasnt much money round so the women would stay for the kids an financial security but these days women are more independant an earn just as much as men an not to mention how easy it is to get a divorce

Answer 9

Because couples are too lazy to work on problems. People go into marriage thinking they are going to be living a fairy tale, and when that doesn't happen they decide it's too hard to work at it and just throw in the towel.

Answer 10

Marriages end in divorce because one out of the
two is not committed.
