The subject of why divorce comes about is vast and complex. Marriage between two people is a big life change for both parties. Two separate people must learn to think beyond their individual needs and think about what's best for them as a couple.
If they can't do this, friction is inevitable and a break up is very possible. This article discusses three common reasons why divorce occurs.
1.) Infidelity – Unfaithfulness causes great pain. The person being cheated on feels betrayed, hurt, and can never fully trust his or her partner again.
If a divorce isn't immediate, tension and distrust in the relationship can lead to an eventual breakdown of the marriage. Understanding the root cause of the infidelity as well as determining whether or not the marriage should be saved will require the services of a marriage counselor.
2.) Money – Financial security or lack of it is a great source of stress on almost everyone at some point in their lives. Single people too, must shoulder this burden. How money is managed and spent is fertile ground for conflict in a marriage.
Being married and raising children is costly. It's typical for a married couple with children to be in a lot of debt. Significant differences in money spending habits and its management can be the last straw that breaks a marriage.
3.) Exaggerated expectations – Some individuals have very unrealistic and over romanticized notions of the ideal mate and of the ideal marriage. These story book mates and marriages are the myths of our culture delivered to us daily by the mass media.
People obsessed with these ideal unions are in reality, self absorbed. They have a consumer mind set in which the search for mate and marriage is akin to visiting a mall to shop for the perfect commodity.
For a marriage to be successful, one needs to be able to escape the cage of one's individuality, and have the ability to compromise and truly care about the needs of the other.
