While no one goes into a marriage with the intention of it ending in divorce, marriage can fall apart for many couples. The reasons for divorce vary, but couples in New Jersey and across the country often get divorced over one of the following common issues.
Infidelity
One of the main causes of divorce across the United States is infidelity. With the advances in technology and social media, these affairs often go beyond workplace sexual affairs and can include emotional infidelity as well. If a relationship is already struggling, any level of infidelity can take things past the point of no return.
Financial issues
While money itself is not a cause of divorce, a lack of money can create a situation full of stress and arguments that lead to the dissolution of a marriage. Many couples also find themselves fighting because they cannot agree with how to create a budget or spend the money brought into the household. As money is one of the most crucial assets that anyone has access to, it can be a source of great stress in a relationship.
Tragic circumstances
When a couple goes through something tragic, such as the loss of a child, they may not be able to move on with their relationship. Marriages have also dissolved due to cancer diagnoses and other extraordinary circumstances. While it is possible for a couple to move through a tragedy in a healthy way, they can also do irreparable damage to their relationship.
