Psychologists say that every fourth divorce occurs in those who are over 50. It would seem that such couples have long been held and learned to overcome the crisis. So why are they taking such extreme measures? Editorial "Site" It tells you what the cause is and whether it can be prevented.

It’s hard to find a single formula that works for every marriage. People are different, as are the reasons why they decide to divorce. There are hundreds of such reasons, because each couple has its own characteristics and pitfalls in the relationship. However, there are main reasons that most often underlie the crisis.

  1. Age-related changes
    Everyone knows that over the years, hormonal changes occur in the human body that cannot be reversed. For each person, they occur at a different speed. These changes are especially noticeable in bed. It is good when activity decreases in spouses at the same time. Problems arise when one of the spouses has a decrease, and the second activity increases. If spouses have learned to get along well with each other and can live side by side as good friends, then it is unlikely that anything will cause discord in their lives. Over time, they will just get used to the new situation. But most often it becomes a reason for divorce. Especially if the bed was the foundation of the relationship.

  2. Separation of spouses
    There is such a thing as mutual separation of spouses. It would seem that the longer you live together, the stronger the marriage becomes. But for many years lived spouses accumulate small grievances, omissions, and irritation increases. All these small cracks undermine the marriage and the lives of the spouses themselves, eventually turning into an explosion. People at once realize how far apart they have become strangers. This happens when the social status of one of the spouses changes dramatically. Then the interests, the view of the world, the family and the partner change. There is a kind of alienation, which in a rapid stream demolishes everything valuable and expensive.

    In this situation, women often leave, especially after the children grow up. They grow up, go into an independent life, and a woman understands that she has absolutely nothing to do with her husband.

  3. Age difference
    At a young age, when people start a family, the age difference doesn’t matter. When people love each other, age is not important. Over time, the age difference becomes more noticeable. And if 10 years are somehow overcome, then more than 20 is another generation. The age difference can be particularly noticeable here. One spouse sees the other grow old and wither. The difference in needs may be too deep. One wants peace and quiet, and the other partner is still active. Here, of course, you can compromise, but sometimes the differences are too serious.

  4. Working on relationships
    Over time, people relax and stop working on the relationship, believing that everything is fine. A man works a lot, gets tired and just gets used to the fact that his wife is engaged in the house and children. Everything she does is seen as a duty. Over time, he ceases to see her as a beloved woman and stops trying to continue to warm her feelings and be attractive to her. The woman is engaged in household chores, and if she works, she comes home as a second shift. There is simply not enough time to pay attention to your husband. So both spouses stop looking after themselves and work on their marriage.

    Over time, such relationships come to a standstill. Spouses always need to remember that a relationship is a living organism that needs to be nurtured and cherished. Everyone should make his own contribution so that in the end everything does not boil down to mutual reproaches and resentments.

  5. Money.
    In a family where the husband works, and the wife is engaged in the household, often there are irritations and resentments. A man thinks that his wife spends his money too easily, he believes that she simply does not appreciate his efforts. At the same time, husbands often do not notice that this money is spent on food, children and household. The most interesting thing is that money often becomes a stumbling block and a reason for divorce.

In some cases, it is impossible to prevent divorce, and sometimes it is not necessary. It often happens that only after a divorce do people become happy and find a different life. However, there are cases when you can prevent extreme measures and preserve everything that has been sculpted for many years.

It’s important to know if you want to keep that relationship. If there is no obvious reason, but only it seems that everything is somehow wrong, everything is boring and routine, then it makes sense to look at yourself and relationships from a different angle. First, you need to talk openly about everything with your spouse. Conversation is the best way to solve problems. Discuss this very frankly, because you're talking to your family.

Second, look critically at yourself in the mirror. What do you see there: an interesting and active person or a tired and boring nerd? Evaluate yourself critically, perhaps it is about you, and not your soul mate.

Try something new in life, diversify your routine. There is always a reason for a small trip or a new experience. Relationships change over time and transform into something completely different, but this is not a reason to give up on them and in one fell swoop destroy 20-30 years of life together. Be happy and take care of your spouses, dear ones!

Destroying is much easier than creating. We wrote earlier about how to save a marriage by building the right relationship.
