Marriage is a lot of work, and if you and your spouse are willing to put in the effort you can have a long, happy and successful marriage. The sad reality is that roughly 39% of marriages end in divorce and it can be a complicated and draining process for everyone involved. Here are some of the most common reasons for divorce or separation.<\/p>\n

Finances<\/h2>\n

You need to be honest about your finances including your debts, your salaries, your investments and your monthly expenses. Your budget and finances<\/a> are topics you\u2019ll talk about with your spouse for the rest of your life, including how to spend your money together, so you may as well lay it all out on the table from the start.<\/p>\n

Cheating<\/h2>\n

This isn\u2019t always a physical act of infidelity. It could be an emotional act as well and can really hinder your relationship.<\/p>\n

Not agreeing on whether or not to have kids<\/h2>\n

This is another huge topic that needs to be discussed up front. It\u2019s a deal breaker for most people if the spouse doesn\u2019t want to have kids or if they won\u2019t consider adopting\/fostering if they\u2019re physically unable to have kids.<\/p>\n
