Biggest reasons for divorce
In the USA the divorce rate is between 50-60% and in other countries like the UK it is reported to be even higher. The question then becomes why is the rate so high? Are people getting married knowing that divorce is always there as an option? Does forever have a different meaning in today's society? Not to long ago it was expected that you would get a career and stick with it throughout your life, now the average career position lasts about seven years, has the same thing happened to marriage.
Although, most states are now no fault divorces, the number one cause of divorce is money related issues. Other top reasons for divorce include:
Poor communication.
Lack of conflict management skills.
Infidelity.
Changes in priorities. Can be caused by having kids, work related changes and other big life events.
Lack of commitment to the marriage.
Sexual problems.
Addictions.
Incompatible personalities.
Failed expectations of your spouse.
Physical, emotional or sexual abuse.
Different expectations about household tasks
Different expectations about having or rearing children
Interference from parents or in-laws

The biggest reason which often encompasses many of the other reasons is poor communication. Poor communication is easily magnified by other issues like financial strain or increased time constraints due to the children getting older.
