On Behalf of | Jul 14, 2023 | Divorce |

You might notice that your marriage is not doing well. Perhaps they have been especially stern and aloof lately.

While you probably expect them to go back to normal after blowing off some steam, that is not always the case. One day, you might come home to a divorce notice and have a lot of questions you need to answer.

1. What causes it?

The most common reasons for divorce are infidelity, financial issues, communication issues and a lack of intimacy. Some other issues that you might encounter are incompatibility, immaturity and abuse.

2. Why do people divorce?

The causes of divorce are usually a spark. Divorce comes when you can no longer cope with your partner and it is the best option.

3. Is infidelity a reason?

If your partner tries to meet their needs outside of your relationship, it can end it. That is because it leaves you feeling betrayed and causes you to not trust them. Infidelity is the most common reason for divorce. It causes between 20 and 40 percent of divorces each year.

4. Is intimacy important?

Not feeling a connection to your partner can leave you feeling like you have a roommate. This connection stems from physical and emotional intimacy. Constantly pushing your partner away can cause your relationship to fizzle out and drive them to file for divorce.

Marriage is not easy. A lot of them end up in divorce. Even when you have great intentions, you can still end up in a failing relationship. That is why you should address issues when they come up, so you can still repair your relationship. However, if your marriage is too far gone, make sure you know the answers to all of your questions about divorce, so you can get through the process easier.
