Top Reasons Couples Divorce - Should You Stay or Should You Go?
July 19, 2008
Some of the top reasons that couples divorce or stay together and try to salvage a marriage are because of the children, infidelity or abuse. Divorce should always be the last option as marriage is a sacred bond between two people. However, there are reasons to try and save a marriage and there are reasons to leave one. Here we will be discussing some of those.
Many times in a marriage we often hear people say “We are staying together because of the kids.” In fact I knew many a couple that stayed together until their children were in College or almost out of College to get a divorce. They did so because they were afraid of the way their children may react to divorce. We all know some of the horror stories of children who have been scarred because of a divorce in the family. This is decision that must be made between both partners. That if divorce is in the cards, the relationship each parent has with each child should remain strong.
Having an affair in a relationship is also one of the top reasons couples divorce. When a partner has a wandering eye and looks for comfort outside of the relationship, there is definitely a problem. Many times people will just go ahead and get divorced, but when you are deciding if you should stay or go, it may be a good idea to look into why the cheating occurred and if it can be helped with counseling. Even more importantly, you need to decide if the partner that was cheated on can forgive the other.
Finally, abuse in a relationship is yet one of the top reasons couples divorce. Is your partner hitting you? Is your partner putting you down and name calling you in public to humiliate you? What sort of abuse is going on? Is the abuser willing to get help? These are all important questions when deciding the fate of your marriage and questions that should not be taken lightly.
There are many reasons why you should stay or why you should go when deciding on your marriage. Children, affairs and abuse are all reasons that a couple may divorce, but the decision ultimately lies with you. Know that there are people who can help you make this decision. It is a hard one and possibly the hardest one you will ever make in your life. Please be sure to make it a wise one.
