5 Things that Can Ruin Marriages

According to a New York psychotherapist by the name of Robi Ludwig, there are 5 factors that truly ruin marriages.  Even if couples have been married for decades, if these factors exist in their marriage, Ludwig says they may find themselves considering divorce.   Ludwig used to host a TV reality show called One Week to Save Your Marriage and says the following may cause divorce:

1.  Mockery.  Anytime one spouse is making fun of another spouse or causing him/her to feel horrible, it can lead to the end of the marriage.

2.  Big difference in earnings.  If one spouse makes a lot more money than another spouse, it can cause arguments and friction.  This is especially true when women make more than men.  Ludwig says, "Higher-earning wives are often inclined to feel angry that they have to take care of their husbands, or they feel less feminine."

3.  Illness.  Ludwig asserts that sickness can either make or break a marriage and will depend on the natural inclination of spouses to serve as caregivers.

4.  Abuse or personal addictions.  These factors cause stress and fights, which can result in divorce.

5.  Missing out.  If spouses feel like they are missing out, they may resent their marriages.  Ludwig says this factor is common when couples marry at a young age.
