his, hers or ours and even how to

Lack of Communication
Entire books have been written about the differences in the ways that men
and women communicate. However, lack of communication about important issues
can actually kill a marriage. A funny illustration of a man and his failure
to communicate is illustrated on the site
Whole Family about men and their "night filtering", but this is actually
no laughing matter. If frustrations are not communicated and resolved,
resentment can build. There are many tips that can help you
communicate better with your spouse and possibly avoid divorce for this
reason. |

Abuse
No one should have to be abused and unless or until the abusive partner gets
treatment and stops the abusive tendencies, separation may be the only
option. While physical abuse is the more common, emotional abuse can be just
as painful. If you are in an abusive relationship and need help, you can
call the
National Domestic Violence Hotline. If you are uncertain whether or not
what you are going through is emotional abuse, you may want to read through
this
emotional abuse questionnaire. |

Religious or Cultural Differences
In some traditional families, religious or even cultural differences can
create serious problems. Typically, the problems come into play as the
couple has children and begins to disagree over which religion the child
should be raised. There are some
ways to deal with religious differences and avoid divorce.
Families.com suggests hearing out one another and discussing how
religion will be handled before children arrive. Just understanding the
stress an
inter-faith marriage might cause in families can be helpful in preparing
a couple for future differences. |

Addictions
There are many different types of addictions, but they all take their toll
on a marriage and can lead to divorce, particularly if the addict refuses to
get help for the addiction. A serious addiction might be to alcohol, drugs
or even pornography. There are
ways that a family with an addict function that are not always healthy.
This can lead to many problems within the marriage. The result of the
divorce and addiction on children can be powerful, so counseling as a family
is necessary whether the end result is divorce or not. |

Differences in Life Goals
In life, it is normal for people to change and grow as they age. This can
lead to differences in a marriage if one partner chooses goals that don't
match up to the goals of the other. This distance can lead to lack of
communication, arguments and even divorce.
Lack of commitment to the marriage as one spouse focuses on new goals
can create serious issues of alienation. Marriage seminars, like
Marriage
Encounter weekends, can help couples learn to better communicate and set
goals together. |

Children
Although parents always tell their children that a divorce is not their
fault, and on the surface this is true, children can cause a lot of strain
in a marriage in some cases. Some couples don't discuss their family plans
before marriage. If one person wants children and the other doesn't, this
can be a real deal breaker in a marriage. It is hard to stay married to
someone with different life goals and children are a biggie. Troubled
children can also cause a lot of stress. Lack of communication typically
causes the divorce, however. Whatever the reason for your divorce, you will
want to make sure the
children get the help they need to sort through the divorce. |

routine or if couples fight, sex may be the last activity in which they want
to participate. Men aren't the only ones who sometimes have sexual
dysfunction,
women sometimes have these problems as well, especially during
menopause. The BBC covers many topics regarding
problems with sex that may also help you get your marriage back on
track, at least in the bedroom. Find out what to do when sex hurts or how to
treat impotence. |

Incompatibility

compatible. If you are not yet married, you may want to look at this handy
pre-marriage checklist to see if you can avoid this reason for divorce.
If you are already married, but feel you are incompatible with your spouse,
you may want to look into
marriage builders to help overcome incompatibility issues. Out of all
the reasons for divorce, this one is probably the easiest fixed as you
simply have to find common ground and build common interests. |
