  1. For me, the main leading cause of divorce
    is the lack of communication between the couple. .When the lines communication fails the marriage
    will be on the rock. How can be a relationship becomes effective if either or both parties won’t discuss their feelings, can’t talk about both mutual or personal issues, will keep all their resentments simmering under wraps, and expect each other to guess what the whole problem is about. In many instances, some problems that cause divorce have existed in the couple’s relationship long before they got married.

    The lack of communication on excavating the personality and background of the person you are marrying was not taken into considerations. The problems were either not acknowledged or were ignored in the hoping that the marriage might miraculous work out.

    Reading through many articles, I have come up with some of the cause of divorce as follows:

    •A) TIME

    •B) SEX

    •C) MONEY

    •D) PERSONALITY TRAITS

    •E) LOVE AND RESPECT

    It may be categorized specifically depending upon the situation and how you look and view the case:

    * Poor or lack of communication of either or both couple
    * Lack of commitment to the marriage
    * Financial problems
    * Dramatic changes in priorities (both personal and career)
    * Failed expectations or unmet needs
    * Addiction to alcohol and/or substance
    * Inability or Lack of conflict resolution skills
    * Infidelity / Adultery
    * Physical, sexual or emotional abuse
    * Abandonment
    * Personality Differences or ‘irreconcilable differences’
    * Different expectations about having or rearing children
    * Interference from parents or in-laws
    * Lack of maturity
    * Intellectual and Sexual Incompatibility
    * Traditions and Cultures which would prevent or won’t allow personal growth, cultural and lifestyle differences
    * Personal Immaturity and Falling out of love
    * Religious conversion or religious beliefs
    * Inability to deal with each other’s little idiosyncrasies
    * Mental Instability or Mental Illness
    * Criminal behavior and incarceration for crime

  6. Another common cause of divorce is money. Many people say, “Money is the root of all evil,” as in a marriage it can be the root of all problems. When one spouse makes all of the financial decisions, and the other spouse does not agree with the decisions that he or she is making, then conflicts can occur between the two of them. Financial obligations that accompany the birth of a child can also cause conflict between the two, when they are not financially prepared for the increase in financial responsibility, which a couple gains when having children. This financial responsibility can affect the marriage drastically, when what seemed to be enough for the two, is not enough to provide for a family.
