9 causes of marital issues that lead to divorce

On Behalf of | Oct 18, 2022 | Divorce

Marriage is one of the most important moments in many people’s lives – alongside having a child and paying off student loan debt. For many, marriage lasts forever, typically with some issues along the way – but that’s to be expected. Other marriages may face constant tribulations that lead to court battles.

So, what causes people to divorce? The causes may be more common than you realize:

Is this the last straw in your marriage?

Even just one difficulty in a marriage can cause spouses to feel better resentment toward each other. Some of the most common causes of marriage trouble are caused by the following:

  1. Poor communication: Poor marriages can be full of unresolved arguments and tons of shouting, leaving spouses angered and upset.
  2. Conflicting parenting styles: Everyone parents differently and some spouses don’t have compatible parenting methods, to the point it creates issues in their marriage.
  3. Lack of intimacy: People frequently build strong intimate bonds while dating, but marriage may cause couples to drift apart.
  4. Long-distance marriage: Many couples may find it difficult to be married to someone who’s frequently traveling.
  5. A military life: Being married to someone in the military could mean some spouses are frequently moving, upending their entire lives.
  6. Infidelity: Marriage is all about trust, which an affair may break.
  7. Financial difficulties: One spouse may have spending issues or debt that creates problems for the other.
  8. Married while young: Whether it was because of religious reasons or an early commitment, some marriages don’t last because spouses were too young to realize the responsibilities of marriage.
  9. One-sided marriage: One spouse may feel they’re putting more commitment into their marriage than the other.

The list could go on. If you believe your marriage is near its end, you may need to know your options. Legal guidance can help you protect your future interests.
