<p>**Causes of divorce in marriages**</p><p>1) When couples become too comfortable</p><p>People put in their best especially when dating their partners but all of a sudden, they are married and they stop what actually attracted them to their partners in the first place. For example, a woman who dresses beautifully and classy when dating her man don't do so again because she's now married. A man who professes love to his woman once in a while or often, becomes so cold all of a sudden. Distance begins to happen and ego won't let them sort things out which the end result might be a divorce.</p><p>**Too proud to apologise**</p><p>Pride is indeed evil. The word I am sorry is a mighty word that can heal. Most couples find it difficult to apologise for their wrongs. Everyone wants to claim right. Grudges keeps pilling up, unhappiness begins to creep in and before you know it, distance is been created and might lead to divorce if care is taken.</p><p>**When you are not growing with your spouse**</p><p>People take this for granted but it's very important. If you are growing and pursuing carreer, carry your partner along. If you are enrolling for a PhD, make sure your partner is levelling up somehow with you because there would be a level one would get to and with the exposure he/she has gotten from studying, traveling which his partner might not fit in anymore. Feelings of "he/she not been your class might creep in. Ensure to carry your spouse Along when it comes to growth and development in sensitive aspects of life.</p><p>**Sharing Private matters to outsiders**</p><p>There is nothing that destroys a marriage so quickly like gossips. Be courageous enough to handle certain sensitive matters with your partner, psychologist or someone who you can really trust and not just anyone because at the end of the day, not everyone is listening to actually help out but destroy.</p><p>**Self centered**</p><p>Marriage is all about sacrifice. It won't be fair doing everything for someone who doesn't care about you at all. Couples should learn to assist and help out their partners and not always ask. Let it be mutual and things will surely work smoothly, no one would feel cheated nor neglected. By so, peace would rain and the family will be together.</p>

<p><strong>A quote</strong></p>
<p><strong>I dont think I will get married again,I will just find a woman I dont like and give her a house.</strong></p>
<p>LEWIS GIZZARD, attributed, Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations.</p>
<p>The situation is so serious that many people settle for co-habitation without any legal commitment with the understanding that their is no string attached. when things go wrong,they fall apart and life continues. we now live in a kind of throw away disposible community where all sense of permanence is completely lost. some change 3 to 4 partners within few years.this issue is gradually getting out of hand and some are beggining to see it as a lifestyle.</p>
<p>In essence, we are gradually producing a generation whose respect for staying forever in marriage is evaporating.</p>

<p><strong>REASONS FOR DIVORCE</strong></p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>LACK OF COMMUNICATION -</strong></li>

<p>This is very important in a relationship. Lack of effective communication in Marriage may result to frustration. Living in the same house without effective communication will make both lovers look like a stranger. Many things will be left undiscussed. companionship in marriage is of uttmost importance and once this is lost,it will gradually tear the marriage apart and eventually leads to divorce.</p>

<p>&nbsp;When both parties begin to think of making more income than the other,problem sets in. This starts adding more salt to injury. Gender equality begins to take place.who is the boss? They begin to disagree on almost all matters. Since both believe they can stand alone without another, they go for divorce.</p>

  <li><strong>INFIDELITY -</strong>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<p><br></p>
<p>This is one of the most common reason for divorce. Lots of people in marriage are not faithful to their partner. Though there are reasons for their unfaithfulness, it is not for any reason Justified. Marriage is a contract and signed by both parties willingly. Infidelity hurts. Some kill their partners for being unfaithful. It is a sin that many will never forgive once their partner is caught.</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>POVERTY -</strong>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p>When making ends meet is a problem, happiness in the family will be affected. If either of them can't endure, their relationship begins to shake and this can make them lose their marriage.</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>SOCIETAL &amp; TECH INFLUENCE -</strong>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p>The world has changed drastically with the invention of technologies that has added both positively and negatively to the well beign of man. The media parade stories of reputable people divorcing their partners. everyone have access to the internet,books and magazines. All this are everywhere with DIVORCE, BROKEN HOMES, BROKEN RELATIONSHIP as their headline. The society has given room for such. To some,marriages has become irrelevant,the word Trust, Love, Respect, Honour, Faithfulness, Perseverance, Commitment, and some key words that hold relationship/marriage now seems out dated and out of touch in this new age. Some pastors giving sermon every sunday are also victims,some Islamic scholars are not ruled out of this scenario. All these has not helped, instead, it has tear apart the respect and reputable standard of marriage in the society. When people that are of high esteem and well respected in the society are found in this mess, many get confused and see divorce as no big deal.</p>
<p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p>
<p>I will love to state this quote by ERICA JONES...</p>
<p><strong>There is a rhythm to the ending of marriage just like the rhymth of a courtship-only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over.finally you are both worn out,exhausted,hopeless,then Lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses.The death has occured much earlier.</strong></p>
<p>Marriage is not as easy as it appears to be when the couples are happy on their wedding day dancing and making merry. There is more to it. The challenges are numerous and it takes only those that are determined to overcome the trials. Couples shouldn't wait until their problem is compounded and beyond repair. going for counselling will help. showing love ,care and kindness will help keep the bond between couples. The health of a relationship matters. It should be given its treatment whenever its ill to increase its life span. If we all understand our obligations and we make the right thing the order of the day in our relationship, DIVORCE will become a story of the past.</p>

<p>Too many temptations to cheat</p><p>Humans are mean and scary 😾</p>

<p>Well well, the marriage institution have experienced a huge change in the aspect of their longevity. It is an established fact that back in the days, marriages last longer than what it is today and the oat till death do us part have been kept to the end. It is also established that as at then only one out of every one thousand marriage have experience divorce. This does not mean that marriages then do not go through challenges but it simply means couples had ways of settling their disputes without it degenerating to divorce.</p><p>Fast forward to recent times, it is now observed that a lot marriages of today eventually ends up in divorce owing to various factors and reasons. There have been different established factors that can cause a marriage to collapse and end in divorce. I'd be talking about just few of them.</p><p>First is the issue of infidelity. Infidelity in marriages has led couples to go their separate ways and forget they were ever married. What then is infidelity? To simply put, infidelity means cheating. An husband who is adulterous or wife who is adulterous are known as cheats. This is one of the major factor that contributes to divorce in marriages of today. Spouses gives excuses like, he does not satisfy me in bed or she does not satisfy me in bed, he does not have time for me et all</p><p>Secondly, lack of patience in marriages ultimately leads to divorce, if a wife cannot be patient with her husband or husband be patient with his wife, they end up getting into quarrels and fights every time which ends up breaking the Bond they have and ultimately leads to divorce.</p><p>Furthermore, lack of trust is also a major contributing factor to divorce in marriages. A relationship cannot last long if there is no trust between spouses. Trust is a scarce commodity and ones it's lost in a relationship it takes extra work to earn it back. Most couples would rather take the easy way out which is divorce than try to get the trust back.</p><p>Lack of love also is a major contributing factor to divorce in marriages today.  A marriage without the existence of love in it can simply not exist because what brings spouses together to establish a bond is love and if the love is lost, the marriage would lose it's taste and it ends up in divorce.</p><p>Finally, the crux of the matter is lack of communication. All the various factors listed above can be solved if there is proper and adequate communication by spouses. Communication in marriages is very essential and the absence of it spells doom on such marriage because the couples would begin to grow apart because of one reason or the other and invariably get divorced. Communication is key yo a successful relationship and it is very much important for spouses to make it a priority if they want to sustain their relationship</p>

<p>4 biggest causes of divorce</p>
<p>1. Adultery</p>
<p>Although always opposed in terms of religion, social, moral, and maybe also law, even considered criminal in some places, affair always happens. For a monogamous marriage, infidelity is indeed a very serious problem.</p>
<p>2. Addicti</p>
<p><br>
There are various addictions, such as alcoholic beverages, drugs, gambling, sex, watching porn, and shopping. Addiction is not only physical, but also psychic.</p>
<p>Most people who are addicted do not realize that their attitude is destructive, out of control, and causes problems with the spouse or people around them.</p>

<p>There are alot of reasons why people get divorced these days and it has alot to do with the way the world is right now. Whatever the case, here's a list of reasons why people get divorced these days</p><p>1. Rushed Decisions: Alot of couples that get married these days rush into it like as if it's a common relationship. They don't really understand everything that comes with being married and once they're husband and wife, they quickly realise that it's not the same thing as boyfriend and girlfriend.</p><p>2. Give up attitude: When you get married, your vows say "for better for worse" but alot of people have forgotten that because when things get hard, instead of trying to figure things out, they just opt for a divorce because they feel it's easier than facing their marital problems and trying to fix them.</p><p>3. Infidelity: it's not new news that morality all around the world is at an all time low, so it's easy to see why married people, particularly married men step out on their wives. Marriage itself has lost value in the world and people see it as just a task which they have to tick off their to do list, they don't see it as a life time commitment anymore and that's why infidelity is so high.</p><p>4. Unsupportive partners: This one is mostly on the part of men. Most guys still feel that a woman's place is in the house and as such when they marry a woman who wants to build her career, they actively try and discourage them or downright kick against the idea. Women in this position have no choice but to hit the divorce button.</p><p>5. Feminist sentiment: The battle between the sexes is at its highest point right now and women have begun to lose their value as they try to pursue equality with men and this is absurd because if the sexes aren't equals then women are above men, I'm an man and even I know this . Some women are just looking for every excuse to pick fights with their men over these kind of issues,l because they don't realise that what feminism stands for is equal opportunity and treatment not necessarily equality in every aspect of life. This kind of mindset drives men crazy and the next option is to file for a divorce.</p><p>6. Monkey see monkey do: The fact that couples all around the world are getting divorced everyday has made it seem like it's ok to do the same thing and couples who are still together see this and feel that it's ok to follow suit instead of trying to figure their problems out. It all falls back to what I was saying at the beginning, the way the world is now is what's causing all this. I fear that the concept of marriage will soon be forgotten or even abolished one day.</p><p>I hope this helps.</p>

<p>The problem of divorce in the household is something that often happens in society, not only among artists but also among ordinary people. The problem of divorce should be a serious problem in a household, this should not be underestimated. The impact of divorce not only involves both parties, husband and wife, but also children and families. Well, here are some common causes of divorce in a family:</p><p>1. The lack of economy</p><p>Living in deprivation requires great patience, many people who are powerless in deficiency, especially women. Remember that the main requirement for marriage is to have decent work and enough economy. If the economic situation in the household is getting thinner, it will certainly cause many new problems that will cause a check-up between husband and wife.</p><p>2. Passive communication</p><p>Passive communication between husband and wife also often causes problems that refer to divorce. Many divorces occur in the community due to lack of communication between husband and wife. The main way to deal with passive communication is to try to make active and open communication.</p><p>3. Difference</p><p>Often a difference causes a person to let go of relationships with others without tolerance first. Differences should make someone understand the shortcomings between one another and realize solutions to unite and complement each other, not to make separation and division. Contog differences in marriage problems can be like:</p><p>Differences in understanding and belief</p><p>Different ideas and thoughts</p><p>Differences in the social status of each family (rich and poor)</p><p>And others</p><p>4. No consequences</p><p>Marriage is a consequence of mutual loyalty, mutual love, mutual love, responsibility, mutual care, and mutual respect. If this sense of consequences is lost, divorce is very easy. Examples of actions that are not consequences in marriage are:</p><p>Love third parties</p><p>The husband ignores the responsibility for earning a living</p><p>The wife does not maintain the honor and dignity of the family</p><p>And others</p><p>5. Infidelity</p><p>Cheating is a betrayal in the household. Everyone does not want a loved one to cheat on others. Of course this causes deep internal wounds in the heart. Injuries because they are betrayed will lead to early decisions without prior consideration, namely divorce.</p><p>6. Inner living problems</p><p>Inner life or sex is one of the important reasons why a person makes a marriage. In addition to dhohir needs, inner needs must be fulfilled so that the integrity of the household is maintained. Sometimes dissatisfaction in the inner life causes someone to commit an affair, and of course the fatal point of this problem is divorce.</p><p>7. Excessive busy work</p><p>Busy work makes both parties (husband and wife) rarely do active communication. Excessive work activities make you tired, when you go home from work both of you might spend time resting. This situation is certainly not very harmonious, especially when the workload is increasing and accumulating. The burden of the mind because work sometimes makes both of them easy to emotion, causing conflict.</p><p>8. Lack of attention</p><p>Humans have the pleasure of being watched, recognized, loved, and loved. If in a family one partner gets less attention, then the interest in intimacy in the household will wither. And of course this can increase the chances of divorce between the two.</p>

<p>Lack of understanding, lack of communication, resentment, abuse, disrespect, unfaithfulness etc are all great contributory factors to divorce. But just like someone answered below, I think all these are influenced by lack of love</p>

<p>Lack of love in a marriage is the major cause of divorce today. Lack of love breeds selfishness and once selfishness has gotten into a relationship,  it leads to disrespect,  abuse, infidelity, lack of support, communication breach, etc. Every problem in relationship stems from lack of love. Anyone you love, you protect and treat better. Anyone that claims to love you and is treating you wrongly is actually deceiving you. Love uplifts an individual, it doesn't hurt or bring them down </p>

<p>Infidelity and economic problems are one of the common causes of divorce that occurs today.</p>

<p>Well there may be many reasons for increased number of divorces these days. Some of the reasons which I can understand are the following:</p>
<p>Materialistic: We have become more materialistic now a days as compared to past.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Compromising: couples are less compromising these days</p>
<p>Ego: we are having more ego issues as compared to our parents</p>
<p>Demanding: our demands now a days are very high.</p>
<p>Flexibility: we have less flexibility in our relations.&nbsp;</p>
