The Only Reason Why Money Is The #1 Cause Of Divorces Worldwide

I was discussing with someone not too long ago about relationships and why couples break up due to money issues (-in case you missed my earlier post on money being the #1 proven cause of divorce, please read it). 

Do you know that there is really only one reason couples do not (want to) come back together after a fight...? And it is simple- Couples Who Have Not Created Enough Memorable Experiences Together, Do Not Find Reasons To Stay Together When The Going Gets Tough (or to come back together, if they separate for any reason)! 

Yes, couples who do not create enough memorable times together either get pulled/stay apart, or they soon divorce because they find no more benefit in being married, and they lack the 'memorable experiential pull' to keep them together.

The only business you have with money in your relationship/marriage is to create memorable experiences, with it. 

Or think about it, what is the essence of waking up early to work daily, or spending long hours at work (missing important family anniversaries, or your kids' soccer/drama days at school,) only to find out, after you have made all the money, that there is no family to share it with? 

If you do not start prioritizing family now, instead of putting money-making and business before them, you might end up with loads of money but also a lot of regret...of having missed out on the formative years of your children, or wishing you had had more time for your elderly parents before they died, etc.

Creating memorable experiences isn't about spending millions of dollars on your spouse/family.... It is simply keeping them on your mind everyday enough to create time, and money of course, to give them quality memories, experiences they will treasure forever as they grow older, or when you are away, or have left this ephemeral life behind.  Though poverty and/or not having a lot of cash (to take care of the family's needs) might psychologically emasculate a man/limit a mother, it is not an excuse not to find non-monetary means to make them know that you truly care for them, in spite of.... 

It is simply becoming more sacrificial and less selfish -not thinking and acting like life is all about you. Think about your significant other everyday and how you can make tomorrow worth living for them (with/out you in it).
