Arguments Couples Have
Below, marriage therapists share arguments couples on the verge of divorce usually get into before calling it quits — plus, their best advice for avoiding those fights.

“We aren’t communicating anymore.”
We couldn’t get through a list like this without addressing the age-old couples’ fight over communication. Psychologist Nicole Martinez confirmed that this is the number one problem couples who come into her office report.
“The couple stops being transparent, starts making assumptions and starts hiding things, which ultimately leads to anger and mistrust,” she said. “When communication breaks down, and each person thinks it is beyond repair, they will often believe that divorce is the only option.”
If the couple has any desire to salvage their relationship, Martinez tells them they need to feel safe to be open and honest about their feelings.
“When you’re this close to divorce, it’s a make or break factor in the relationship,” she said.
