Causes of Divorce - Common Reasons For Divorce

The causes of divorce are numerous.

However, one factor consistently top the list. And that is, infidelity.

Infidelity or extramarital affair and money problems remain the commonest reasons for divorce. But couples also divorce for mundane reasons such as argument over allocation of family resources.

Let's take a closer look at these reasons for divorce.

Causes of Divorce

1. Infidelity

Extra marital affair remain the biggest killer of love relationships and marriage. It is that single factor that changes everything. And many find it difficult to trust their mates after the affair.

Unfortunately, extramarital relationships are as common as day light. Married individuals get so confident of themselves that they think they can have a 'friend' outside the relationship and not get to the point of compromising their marriage.

Months, even years, later they discover that the platonic relationship (friendship) they started with a co-worker or a neighbor have turned into something serious . . . a serious threat to their marriage.

Irresistible temptations follow. And before long, this married man or woman is down on hands and knees doing the unbelievable.

Today, opportunities for flirting has increased and so have extramarital affair . . . and so has divorce.

If you want to keep your marriage, watch your steps.

2. Money Problems

"He is rich. He can take care of me".

That is what some girls say when they agree to walk to the altar with a man and sign above the dotted line. From that day they become the man's wife.

They enjoy all the benefits of being married to a rich man including long hours of absence due to work or "unavoidable" and recurrent business trips. She has the money to spend so it doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, something goes wrong and the husband's business comes crashing down or he loses his job.

What next?

The basis for the marriage, money, is no longer available. So, the marriage collapses.

Financial crisis have been proven to be one of the major causes of divorce after infidelity. And this is not only among people who are rich (or previously wealthy).

Once a man loses his means of livelihood and can no longer provide for his family, the wife comes under pressure.

Will she stick to her husband and bear up or leave for greener pastures?

Unfortunately, many women don't stay.

Consequently, money remains one of the prime causes of divorce.

Other Reasons For Divorce

Other reasons for divorce include . . .

Personal Problems: Bad habits like marijuana smoking, drug addiction, and alcohol addiction can put a heavy strain on a love relationship. And this can culminate in divorce if the erring party does not change

Indifference and Apathy: Indifference, lack of consideration, and lack of respect can make one partner feel unwanted and unappreciated. This can breed disaffection that can lead to separation and divorce

Wife Battering: Persistent Domestic violence can also lead to divorce. No wife likes to be used as a punching bag. So, if a husband is unrelentingly abusive, he may leave his wife with no choice but to sue for divorce.

Sex: Sex or lack of it can also put pressure on a relationship. If you are sexually active but your partner is sexually boring, and he does take your sexually desires seriously, something may eventually go wrong.

The list above is not exhaustive. But it does give a clear indication of the causes of divorce.

One thing comes out clear.

People, male and female, like to be respected, valued, and treated with kind consideration. If you love your partner and want your love relationship to last, do just that for him or her.

Otherwise, you give him or her reasons for divorce. And he or she may be justified.
