There are many reasons people choose to file for divorce: lack of family support, infidelity, and compatibility are the top three, according to a survey by Forbes Advisor which polled 1,000 Americans who are divorced or currently getting a divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, almost all of those surveyed believe their union could have been saved by one factor or another. In fact, only 5% of respondents said they don’t think anything could have fixed their partnership.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are the top five factors that divorcees believe could have saved their marriage:\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A better understanding of the commitment of marriage prior to marrying<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. A better understanding of the values and morals of their partner prior to marrying<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Waiting longer to start a family\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Seeking professional help from a therapist or couples counselor\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Waiting longer to get married<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of those surveyed, 63% said a better understanding of the commitment of marriage prior to marrying could have saved their partnership. Perhaps related, 34% of respondents said that their marriage ended due to infidelity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    More than half, 56%, of respondents said a better understanding of the values and morals of their partner might have helped them avoid divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    And 44% said waiting to start a family might have saved their marriage. Children seem to be a pain point for many couples with 43% of divorcees say parenting differences were a large source of conflict for them and their partner, along with division of household labor.<\/p>\n
