Why do couples get divorced?
Around 40-50% of married couples in the United States get a divorce. Partners may choose divorce for many reasons. Couples often cite multiple reasons rather than one single problem.
The following reasons are some of the most common for divorce:
Poor preparation.
Financial problems.
Communication issues.
Lack of commitment.
Physical / emotional abuse.
Affairs.
Unfair division of labor.
Addiction.
Counseling isn’t just for when you want to stay together. Sometimes it’s beneficial to go through counseling even if one or both partners would like to end the marriage.
Why? Because divorce counseling allows you to make sure divorce is the right answer to your marital problems. In addition, it helps you learn to make it through the divorce process with as little conflict as possible.
Divorce can be an extremely stressful time, but you can face it with maturity, knowing you’re making the right choice for you and your former partner, instead of fighting over every detail.
