Major causes of divorce in America
Finance
There is a saying that 'Money is the root of all evil'. Irrespective of the love extant between a couple, money is required to lead a normal life. When there is dearth of money in a marriage, this can lead to disputes. These may escalate into intense quarrels and finally culminate in a divorce.
- Sometimes overspending by one spouse can put the couple in debt
- At the time of marriage, the money that seemed adequate for the couple appears insufficient for a family after some years
- If one spouse makes all the financial decisions, the other spouse may not accede to all the decisions
Dearth of Communication
One of the most usual causes of divorce is lack of communication.
- When it comes to finalizing decisions pertaining to children, the spouses fail to communicate openly with each other
- When decisions are to be made regarding shared finances, several couples do not communicate property with each other
- There are many married couples, who have an opinion that in a marriage minor problems do occur and these are insignificant. There is no need to talk about these. However, lack of communication regarding these small issues may also lead to conflict between the partners
