Divorce Causes: 23 Reasons Marriages End In Divorce, According To Divorced People

Why do some marriages last a lifetime, while some end in divorce? For every pair of marriage lifers (think Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward), there's a couple like Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, barely making it through two months. Why, though? Are there some behaviors that are just universally destructive to a marriage?

On Wednesday, we asked our followers on Facebook and Twitter to share with us the reasons they think marriages end in divorce.

The responses ranged from a lack of sex, to a lack of positive interaction -- one reader even devised a formula: according to him, if there are less than five positive interactions for every one negative interaction, you're in trouble.

================================================

what say you?

 

Some good words of wisdom there:

*Because too many people get married as if it's a requirement in life and not a choice

*Some couples do not grow together at the same rate

I truly believe many marriages fail because people get married thinking it's what they're supposed to do. They've been with so-and-so for x number of years, they love each other, so the natural progression of things means it's time to get married. Too many people stay in relationships (and get married) out of fear of being alone.

I think the second one is unavoidable. You can't force yourself to grow at someone elses rate. For couples who have been together since they were kids...this is especially true. Just because you were compatible at 16 doesn't mean you'll still be compatible at 30. Life happens, people grow up and grow apart no matter how much you try to avoid it.
