Indifferent relationship
Many couples fall in love at first sight, but their love foundation is very weak because they are mostly attracted to each other's sexual aspects. Over time, these attractions may become shallow.
Economic burden
In the early stages of marriage, love is sweet. Over time, practical problems will arise. Nowadays, many Hong Kong couples bear a heavy economic burden. On the one hand, it is difficult to provide housing, and on the other hand, it is difficult to cope with household expenses. If there is a lack of patience, it is easy to make a big fuss about it.
Communication with the previous generation
The issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a common problem in any era. I once met a couple where the wife wept and complained that her mother-in-law often forgot where she had put her wallet, jewelry, or keys, and often accused her daughter-in-law of stealing them. And every time his son encounters an argument with his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he will find an excuse to slip away, and eventually make the couple want a divorce. Later, I made a special appointment with the old man and realized that she had Alzheimer's disease. It can be seen that it is this mother-in-law who needs to be treated, not the couple!
Children's education issues
This is also a very common problem in modern society. Modern young couples have the ideal of raising their children, either hoping for their children to become successful or their daughters to become phoenix. But if there is a lack of communication between couples, there will be more trouble. In addition, parents in law, grandparents, and grandparents have their own set of theories, so there may be six opinions, but there is only one child. It's really difficult to find a standard to measure who listens and who doesn't.
Lack of sexual activity
The sexual demands of couples are very reasonable and necessary. Unfortunately, modern people's sexual life often becomes secondary due to the hustle and bustle of life and work. Sexual performance can be influenced by various factors, such as age, work pressure, physical fatigue, etc. But no matter what the cause is, a lack of sex can turn a red light on marriage.
Extramarital affairs
It may be a follow-up to the above five reasons, but it is not the main issue in marriage. (Senior Psychiatric Consultant at Hong Kong Yan On Hospital and Family and Marriage Consultant at Kwai Chung Hospital, Tan Wu cheng)
