Common Reasons for Divorce

Making the decision to file for divorce can be difficult for everyone involved. Frequently couples will stay together, unsure of whether or not to separate or file for divorce. While divorce can happen for many reasons, there are some common causes of divorce that have been frequently cited:

• Lack of commitment to the marriage: this most commonly means infidelity within a marriage. When a spouse cheats on his or her partner, commitment and trust within the relationship can be severely damaged. This damage can be difficult to recover from.
• Lack of communication: failure of communication or poor communication can cause serious complications for a marriage. This can occur for a number of reasons: different work schedules, differing interests, high stress, etc. The method of communication can have an effect on the style of arguments a couple adopts. Open communication can influence more positive discussions, whereas poor communication can make arguments worse.
• Substance abuse or addiction: loving an addict can be emotionally and physically draining. Alcohol and/or drug abuse can create erratic behavior in an individual and this can cause significant strain on a marriage. Addictions can also be the cause for many of the other reasons for divorce on this list.
• Physical, sexual or emotional abuse: when marriages become harmful to one or both partners, divorce is an option for ending that dangerous situation.
• Financial problems: financial concerns can cause serious conflict within a marriage. They are the root of many common arguments and can cause a severe strain in a partnership. These arguments can have a negative impact on the communication and compatibility between couples.
