Divorce is often associated with significant challenges on both ends of a partnership, but women tend to be the more likely party to initiate matters. Here’s a look at the possible reasons why women look to end their marriage.

Maybe it’s a lack of communication. Maybe your needs or wants have changed. Or, maybe it does feel like that “spark” has gone out, and you’re not sure what to do about it. 

If that sounds familiar, don’t assume your marriage is doomed. There are things you can do to repair a sexless marriage.

Every relationship has problems sometimes. Even the happiest, healthiest couples argue and don’t agree about everything. The Gottman is effective for couples who are dealing with infidelity, emotional distance, or just patterns of frequent arguing. You might not even feel like your relationship is in trouble, but you want to improve your bond and learn how to better understand each other, especially when it comes to dealing with conflicts.

Divorce is never an easy thing to decide to do. You spent time building a life with this person, creating memories with them, and planning for the future. Yet when it all comes crashing down, it can feel like a heavy weight is on your heart and soul.
