How to Recognized Your Marriage is Heading Toward Divorce

1. Many marriage counselors warn against getting married before the age of 25. Some suggest that people wait until they are at least 30 before tying the knot.
2. We all have heard the old adage that "opposites attract." They may have attraction for one another, but they usually do not stay together. It is fine and healthy to have different interests, but spouses need to have similar common interests to survive at least until their silver wedding anniversary.
3. Many divorcees confess that they lived in a sex-less marriage.
4. Many people get divorced simply because they think the grass is always greener somewhere else.
5. In-laws are one of the biggest causes of divorce. Some parents will not leave their children alone.
6. Infidelity itself is not the sole cause of a divorce. Divorce attorneys rarely see marriages that are otherwise healthy and happy except for the infidelity of a spouse.
7. Most second marriages fail due to two reasons. First, some people choose a second spouse that is similar to their first partner. Secondly, raising step-children and dealing with former spouses can be difficult. Many new marriages collapse due to the pressure.
8. Most couples with brief courtship become disillusioned in their marriage. In a whirlwind romance, it becomes easy to paint an unrealistic picture of your relationship.
9. Many couples get divorced because they never formed a communication bridge and lose patience with one another. As a result, they never find joint solutions to their problems.
10. Some people have serious doubts about their future spouse before the wedding date. They feel it is easier to go through with the ceremony and obtain a divorce later, than phoning guests to tell them that the wedding is off.
