Well well, the marriage institution have experienced a huge change in the aspect of their longevity. It is an established fact that back in the days, marriages last longer than what it is today and the oat till death do us part have been kept to the end. It is also established that as at then only one out of every one thousand marriage have experience divorce. This does not mean that marriages then do not go through challenges but it simply means couples had ways of settling their disputes without it degenerating to divorce.
Fast forward to recent times, it is now observed that a lot marriages of today eventually ends up in divorce owing to various factors and reasons. There have been different established factors that can cause a marriage to collapse and end in divorce. I'd be talking about just few of them.
First is the issue of infidelity. Infidelity in marriages has led couples to go their separate ways and forget they were ever married. What then is infidelity? To simply put, infidelity means cheating. An husband who is adulterous or wife who is adulterous are known as cheats. This is one of the major factor that contributes to divorce in marriages of today. Spouses gives excuses like, he does not satisfy me in bed or she does not satisfy me in bed, he does not have time for me et all
Secondly, lack of patience in marriages ultimately leads to divorce, if a wife cannot be patient with her husband or husband be patient with his wife, they end up getting into quarrels and fights every time which ends up breaking the Bond they have and ultimately leads to divorce.
Furthermore, lack of trust is also a major contributing factor to divorce in marriages. A relationship cannot last long if there is no trust between spouses. Trust is a scarce commodity and ones it's lost in a relationship it takes extra work to earn it back. Most couples would rather take the easy way out which is divorce than try to get the trust back.
Lack of love also is a major contributing factor to divorce in marriages today. A marriage without the existence of love in it can simply not exist because what brings spouses together to establish a bond is love and if the love is lost, the marriage would lose it's taste and it ends up in divorce.
Finally, the crux of the matter is lack of communication. All the various factors listed above can be solved if there is proper and adequate communication by spouses. Communication in marriages is very essential and the absence of it spells doom on such marriage because the couples would begin to grow apart because of one reason or the other and invariably get divorced. Communication is key yo a successful relationship and it is very much important for spouses to make it a priority if they want to sustain their relationship
