Top Ten Reasons Why Happily Married Couples Opted To Go Solo

Emotional, physical, and sexual abuses are among the reasons why most marriage ends. However, it doesn’t mean that only men can do harm and women are the victims. In some cases, it can happen the other way around. Whatever the reason may be, abuse can not only lead to divorce but the abusers can also be end up in jail.

3. Financial Issues
At times, money can be the cause of arguments that lead to divorce. There are different types of financial issues that a married couple can encounter. For instance, the wife may be earning more than her husband causing him to hurt his ego. It can also be a fight over properties or lack of capabilities to meet the family’s financial needs.

4. Communication Problems
Even if the couple is living inside the same house, that doesn’t mean that they are happy and have a good communication. Neglect is also an issue that commonly leads to marital separation. When the issues aren’t addressed properly, misunderstanding can happen.

5. Incompatibility
Love can’t conquer the world alone. Compatibility is also needed. However, the main issue is that people do not see those differences until they get married. Therefore, most couples end up realizing that they’re not meant for each other.

6. Child Rearing
Couples may have different ways of raising their children. And most of the time, differences in disciplining their child can be a problem for married couples. This may eventually lead to divorce especially if there are also other causes.

7. Sexual Differences

Business can also damage marital relationships. When either the man or the woman is too busy to work, the other might feel that he or she is neglected. Aside from work, there are also other issues that are related with this problem such as going out with friends, shopping, and many more.

10. Boredom
Boredom can also be a cause of marital separation. Just like Brad Pitt, other men and women also experience boredom or can feel something that they don’t really like.
