What is the #1 cause of divorce?

Contrary to what you might have heard, the #1 cause of divorce is not because of any of the following…

• Money
• Sex
• Infidelity
• Kids
• The in-laws
• Addictions

While these issues can put a strain on the marriage, they do not necessarily cause a divorce.

How we choose to react and respond to conflicts and issues overtime is what truly determines the outcome of the marriage. This is why you might have seen two couples who are going through the exact same situation, but they can have a very different marriage.

Just because there are challenges in the relationship, it does not mean that we are doomed to fail. We have the ability to take control of the steering wheel and not putting all the blame on issue A, B or C. While it’s not always easy, but we can all find this space within us which would allow us to stay calmer, think more thoughtfully and respond differently when issues do arise.
