The reasons why marriages don’t last

On Behalf of | Aug 29, 2019 | Divorce

Ending a marriage is a decision that should not be taken lightly. This is because Virginia spouses can expect to be emotionally and financially drained by the end of the divorce process. Research has found that women initiate 69% of all divorces, and the rate is even higher among women who have a college degree. There are several reasons why women are more likely then men to ask for a divorce.

In some cases, a lack of communication dooms a marriage to failure. Over time, a wife may feel as if she cannot be honest with her partner without being rejected or ridiculed. Eventually, the lack of communication makes it impossible for either side to get what they need from the relationship. For some married couples, a lack of communication can result in household financial problems. These money problems can cause tension that makes it difficult for a marriage to continue.

Infidelity can put a strain on a marriage regardless of which person is being unfaithful. While it may be possible to move past an act of cheating, the person who was the victim of the infidelity may not be able to forget what happened. Eventually, the lack of trust in a relationship could move a spouse to file for divorce.

Someone who is considering getting a divorce may want to spend time preparing for the end of their marriage before they file any paperwork. For instance, it may be a good idea to organize financial documents or any other documentation that would support a request for spousal support or custody of a child. An attorney could help a client gather or review such documents. Legal counsel may also be able to represent the individual if the case goes to divorce court.
