The Biggest Cause of Divorce

Divorce is one of the most painful things.  Like an unexpected storm it can blindside you with the force of a 30 foot wave, throwing you off your rocker.  And unfortunately it is becoming more and more frequent in our American Culture.

When it comes down to it, what is the biggest cause of divorce?  The answer may stun you, as it did me.

It used to be thought that the highest percentages of divorces came from couples who grew up in a divorced home.   Though their chances of being divorced later in life are much higher than those who did not grow up in a separated home, it is not the greatest cause.  What researchers have discovered may take you by surprise.

The Answer.  What they have discovered is that the highest percentage of divorces come, not from those who had separated parents, but from those who have Friends who are Divorced.  Interestingly this was the greatest factor is deciding whether a couple stayed married or split.  They found that when a couple’s friends got divorced they most likely did as well.

This completely shocked me.  But after some time it became very clear to me why.

One of life’s greatest secrets is this:  You become just like your friends.

It turns out that the most important decision is who your friends are.  It seems that even your marriage itself is counting on it.
