According to a study by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, communication problems are the number one reason for divorce in the United States. The study states that 67 percent of all marriages fail because of a breakdown of communication.
And of all the common things couples miscommunication about most often – finances. Money disputes are the best harbingers of divorce. It’s not usually the lack of finances that causes the divorce, but the lack of compatibility in the financial arena. Opposites can attract but when two people are opposites in the financial department, divorce often ensues. Imagine the conflict if one is a saver and one is a spender. One is focused on the future while the other believes in living for today. One has no problem buying on credit, while the other believes in saving up for what one wants.
A study by Jeffrey Dew at Utah State University, attempts to quantify that risk. His finding: couples who reported disagreeing about finances once a week were over 30 percent more likely to get divorced than couples who reported disagreeing about finances only a few times a month.
