The Causes of Divorce

Why are we Americans so slow to develop premarital preparation that prevents divorces? We know the causes of divorce. It is not pornography. It is not adultery. It is not money. It is not work. It is not poverty. It is not too much golf or too many hobbies or drugs, alcohol or rock and roll.

Nor is it the lack of sex.

Nor is it the lack of commitment to marriage. I have never, ever heard anyone on their wedding day, say, "I take thee to be my FIRST wife or my FIRST husband. It is very rare for folks to get married with the expressed desire to get a divorce.

But the myths are listed above and those churches and community groups dedicated to "saving marriages" too often focus on these matters not the root matters.

What causes most divorces? Would you like to know?
