Why Divorce is So Common?

A book could be written to describe all the reasons why married couples get divorced. I want to highlight a few of the major components behind marital divorce. It is important not to be tricked into thinking that couples just wake up one day and decide to divorce each other.

Most often, divorce is just the icing on a cake that has been in the oven for months, or even years. The following are a few ingredients in that cake:

Lack of communication and disclosure

You never hear a recently divorced person say that the reason they got a divorce was because their spouse was an excellent communicator who was too trustworthy. Often, a marriage that is largely healthy can spiral into a divorce simply because each participant refuses to acknowledge minor flaws.

The majority of marriages begin as a wonderful, romantic, almost fairy-tale interaction between two people. That is what is known as the "honeymoon phase". This phase doesn't last forever.

Everyone has his own view over the subject. If a marriage takes places after meeting in bar or just seeing the face beauty, how long should it continue ? Life has just become half, half brothers, half sisters and god know what else half. But its life of an individual and we are no one to interfere.
