"Divorce Reasons; What Constitutes A Viable Reason For Thinking About Or Wanting A Divorce?"

Written by Karl Augustine


According torepparttar Center for Disease Control's National Vital Statistics Report of 2002, 50% of first marriages ended in divorce and 60% of remarriages end in divorce. But,repparttar 111143 Center for Disease Control also found that 96% of Americans express a personal desire for marriage, and almost three-quarters of Americans believe marriage is a life long commitment.

I imagine that there are somewhat similar statistics worldwide.

With these kinds of statistics, its easy to see how complex it can be when people think they want a divorce, they have difficulty identifying how a truly viable divorce reason might be defined. Wanting happiness through marriage and wrestling with what may seem an inevitable outcome (divorce), can be emotionally and mentally challenging.

After all, it is human nature to want to feel nurtured and secure, no matter where you live!

So, if you're thinking about getting a divorce, what are truly viable reasons for actually getting a divorce?

Each government has different laws definingrepparttar 111144 difference between 'fault' and 'no-fault' divorce reasons that have enough merit that allow forrepparttar 111145 divorce to be granted.

While it makes sense for you to keep this in mind when deciding whether or not to get a divorce because there may be financial considerations to think of, you should first focus on defining your own emotional or "personal" divorce reasons, regardless of whatrepparttar 111146 local governing body says.

If you ask 100 people how they define viable reasons for wanting a divorce, you'll most likely get 100 different answers because they'll answer you from their perspective, not yours.

Sure, there may be similarities torepparttar 111147 way you feel in some of those answers about 'real' divorce reasons, you may even agree with some. But,repparttar 111148 real answers to this question can only come from you. You have to figure out what reason or reasons would be viable in your mind in order to actually go through your decision about getting a divorce or staying married.

Some reasons that people give for getting a divorce, or wanting a divorce, are purely selfish and have no substance. An example of a reason for wanting a divorce that has no substance is not likingrepparttar 111149 fact that your spouse has constant unfounded jealousy. There is a deeper problem that exists here, and inrepparttar 111150 case of this example, it could be thatrepparttar 111151 spouse who constantly feels jealousy has a confidence problem or some sort of 'fear of loss'. Whateverrepparttar 111152 case,repparttar 111153 divorce reason in this example clearly isn't viable and should relatively easy to fix.
