Although the current divorce rate appears to be trending downward during the past 10 years, Oklahoma is # 2 is the US for higher divorce rates. However, this may be likely due to other parts of the country getting married at lower rates. Additionally, more people are choosing to maintain a relationship with a partner without legally marrying. Whether married or in a relationship with a partner, there are problems that can exist making it difficult to have a healthy marriage. Here are some of the most common reasons why marriages/relationship end:

• Lack of Commitment

• Poor Communication

• Incompatibility

• Growing Apart

• Financial Disagreements

• Extramarital Affairs

• Domestic Violence

• Substance Use

• Conflict Over Family Responsibility

• Absence of Romantic Intimacy
  

Because no relationship is immune to stress and struggles, marriage/relationship counseling has been shown to be effective in facilitating communication and helping partners to mutually find solutions. If one is experiencing miscommunication, repeated arguments, anger, infidelity, lack of affection or physical intimacy issues, it may be a good time to reach out for help.
