Marital problems

There are as many things you can do to prevent a divorce as there are reasons for wanting one in the first place. A major issue that comes up in a lot of divorce / separation cases is finances.

When money and finances are starting to show their effects on your marriage then you have to be able to get organized and sort things out as quickly as possible before things start to get out of hand, There are so many marriages that end due to fights over money, debts, gambling and income issues. This is complicated even further when one of the spouses is not working.

The finances in any marriage should be a shared responsibility. Any big decisions should definitely be made together. The finances should be discussed and controlled by both, irrespective of who is the major 'bread winner'.

So many couples find themselves fighting so regularly over money issues that they end up divorcing when really all that was needed was a good counselor and a good accountant.
