What is the main cause for marriage breakdown?

Answer 1

In-laws, they are mostly the cause...but in some cases there's also cheating on one another, or miscommunication, no trust in one another, money problems, children problems (like a person with a kid before marrying another person-step children in other words), that's all I can think of for now.

Answer 2

People divorce because they can. This is a very different issue from the question which asks: what factors make one or both partners in a couple no longer wish to remain married; i.e. what is the cause of marital breakdown. But that in turn may still not be an answerable question. For every "cause" there is a "cause for the cause., I've found that the person initiating the filing for a divorce typically knows exactly why he or she is making this choice within a large context of considerations and factors. It is the other party who, while acknowledging "problems" in the marriage, has NOT filed, may NOT have perceived the alternatives to remaining married as preferable to the marriage, and thus can only provide a vague response when asked for the "cause of the divorce" or the breakdown of the marriage, it's sad, because basically there is no communication on ones part, so to me communication is the reason for so much divorce, just my opinion though, i've never been through divorce so i don't see it in there eyes......

Answer 3

Its all about "me". Its important to focus on oneself but in a marriage its a give and take. We have less understanding of each other. Our society has become intolerant of people having flaws. We expect that our spouses to be perfect and understand our needs completely. Families are breaking down for the same reason - the individual comes first before the family in every single case. There has to be a balance between the family unit and the individual in order for society to function. With either extreme society as a whole will fail.

Answer 4

Lack of communication and respect is definitely the biggest issues. They often lead to other issues like infidelity and emotional abuse. I would also say that lack of commitment is a big one. Realizing that love is a choice and not just an emotion, so when hard times come you have to choose to love that person even though it's hard.

Finances is big, but if you have communication and respect you can work that out together.

Answer 5

I think that the cause of marriage breakdown is having chosen the wrong person to marry.

Answer 6

One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/savethemarriage

It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.

Answer 7

Failure to take the marriage vow seriously. Because if the couple values marriage, they will communicate till the issue is resolved with all honesty and sincerity. Also high expectation of the spouse when after living together, it is just a fallacy.

Answer 8

Not putting the othere person's needs equal to your own. When each spouse is worried about what they need in the relationship and stops thinking about what they are giving to their spouse. Whether thoses needs are emotional, financial, sexual, whatever. You have to care as much about the other as you do yourself and they have to do the same. Thats the only way it works and keeps on working.

Answer 9

Lack of communication and respect! And there are too many married people living as though they are single~~~looking for girlfriends and boyfriends!!!
