Many people claim financial problems to be one of the most common reasons for marital failure. There is a saying that "Money is the root of all evil", as in a marriage it can be the root of all problems. More than fifty percent of divorced couples in the United States cited money problems as the cause of their divorce. In many cases, one of the partners is not happy with the spending habits of the other individual or disagrees with the financial decisions the other is making. This can result in massive fights between them. For married couples, an over-spending of funds by one or both partners can occur. This situation can put the couple in debt, and the debt can become a burden over the marriage. Lack of money can cause conflicts, even sometimes intense arguments and resulting in divorce. Additionally, financial incompatibility in which one spouse earns much more money than the other spouse also makes them end up having dispute over money.

How can couples lead their marriage when they hardly have thorough mutual understanding? Poor or lack of communication of either or both couple is a reason for the marriage on the rock. How can be a relationship becomes effective if either or both parties won't discuss their feelings, can't talk about both mutual or personal issues, will keep all their resentments simmering under wraps, and expect each other to guess what the whole problem is about. When a man and his wife live together they should be able to recognize the different signals that they both sent. Both lack of self understanding and lack of understanding of the other person can cause a horrible gap of communication. Lack of good communication between couples then can lead to frustration which leads to relationship dissatisfaction which in turn leads to breakups.

Sexual problems are also among one of the leading causes of divorce. Improper and problematic attitudes towards sex also results in problems within the marriage. Between the couple exist a sexual disagreement and they cannot find each other attractive and seductive in the bedroom, which prompt them to desire a new one and end their marriage as a result. Infidelity in particular has been responsible for the breakdown of many relationships and marriages. Most spouses find extremely hard to forgive any adultery, because they feel cheated and betrayed. They then no longer believe in their love as well as marriage and they want to end this soon to be relieved. Marriages hardly work if spouses do not obey the principles of the faith.

Marriage is a shared life in which both partners have to try to adjust to the other. However, there are always certain challenges in road to happiness. Some people can not get over these obstacles, maybe in terms of finance, communication, sex or other fields and end up their marriage with a divorce. Then a divorce entails undesired mental, which remarkably makes changes in their lives. Couples should take their decisions into careful consideration before getting divorced.
