Unreasonable Behaviour

On the other hand, drinking may not cause any problems inside the marriage because the person concerned may never lack in consideration for other members of the family.

There are certain bad habits that we have, and though we tend to discount them as insignificant, they are the ones that cause divorce. The stored up irritation of many years over a collection of bad habits is a much more potent feeling than the momentary anger at having a dispute once in a blue moon. That is the crux of many disputes that end in broken homes, the basic reason behind two people who slowly grow fed up with each other. Some such character traits will be discussed below, and possible remedies for such situations will be suggested.

Bad Habits

What are bad habits? It could be binge drinking, it could be wrong table manners. There are some people who take pride in bathing once in a week in their bachelor days, and are unhappy when their partners begin to complain about it. There are chain smokers whose children end up suffering from asthma. There are rash drivers who wreck their spouse's car. Some women shop like maniacs, some men watch cricket till their wives begin to hate the sight of a television. The problem with bad habits is that they are hard to kick, and just too comfortable to be changed. It may seem to those who have such bad habits that it is not a matter of great importance as to merit a divorce or even a serious disagreement.

Remedies

If you have an irritating habit, and your spouse doesn't like it, you just have to decide what is more important to you - your stubborn attitude - or the love of your life.

There is nothing more foolish than a sense of bravado in habits like smoking, drinking, drug abuse or sloppy lifestyle habits.

Getting rid of a bad habit is tough, but not impossible.

If your spouse has a long standing habit, it will not change overnight, so be patient.

Persuade your spouse, but do not nag.

Over Independence

We all have the right to have our own opinions. But if we are married, it means that our partner's opinions also matter to us. Yes, there is such a thing as over independence. Our decisions affect the lives of our partners and our children, and we need to be responsible about them. Unfortunately, some people do not take all this into consideration, planning their vacations, career, and life in general with utter selfishness. If we cannot do our duties to our family, we do not have the right to enjoy a family life.

Remedies

Consult your spouse before you take a decision, even if it is a good one, and explain your reasons behind it.

Try not to take decisions that will affect your children negatively.

If your spouse is unthinking, talk to him or her, and try to show how it is affecting your life. Concrete examples work better than nagging or lecturing.

Dishonesty, Lying, Hiding

A relationship as close as a marriage will fall apart automatically unless there is trust between the partners. Some people are chronic liars, and some think they are better off by hiding facts from their spouses. This is why it is better to tell voluntarily if you are having an affair, instead of waiting for your spouse to discover your series of lies, and divorce you immediately.

Remedies

Trust and respect is what makes a relation grow, not merely love. If you are not honest to yourself, how will you face your partner?

If you are sure about what you want, tell it, even if you feel your partner will dislike it or be heart broken. At least there will be some respect kept alive.

Do not hide your true emotions - positive or negative - if they are deep enough.

If you feel your partner is constantly hiding facts from you, try to explain that it is hurting you instead of spying around. That is always a bad idea.

If you feel your partner has been cheating you, by all means try to find out what's wrong, but do it with dignity. Overbearing, snoopy, or over protective behaviour is as bad as lying.
