The main causes of divorce in Singapore Indian marriages are not significantly different from other cultures.
Some common reasons for divorce include:
Communication Issues: Poor communication and the inability to resolve conflicts effectively can lead to misunderstandings and emotional distance between partners.
At Singapore Indian Matchmaking, our consultants will encourage our matches to communicate over a wide range of topics and subject matters. This is crucial in determining the other party's perspective on a range of issues instead of a narrow field.
Financial Problems: Financial stress, disagreements over money matters, and differing financial priorities can strain a marriage.
We cannot stress enough how often this issue props up as a determining factor in marriages breaking down. Our consultants are trained to match you with someone in a similar financial and wealth standing to minimize the chances of encountering financial problems later on.
Infidelity: Extramarital affairs and trust issues are significant contributors to divorce. Through regular consultations with both parties, our consultants are able to spot and advice on trust issues and resolve them very early on in the relationship.
Incompatibility: Over time, couples may realize that they have fundamental differences in values, interests, or life goals. Again, this is something that can be avoided with skillful assessment of both parties and their compatibilities. Something that our consultants at SGIM are very highly trained at even before you are introduce to your match.
Work-Life Imbalance: Singapore is known for its fast-paced and demanding work culture, which can lead to neglecting family and personal relationships.
To minimize the chance of this issue, our consultants study your match's lifestyle habits and work routines to advice on what a future being married to this person would look like before you take the plunge.
Lack of Intimacy: A lack of emotional and physical intimacy can cause dissatisfaction and disconnection in a marriage.
Family Pressure: Pressure from extended family members and in-laws can impact a marriage negatively.
To avoid these issues and build a strong foundation for their marriage, prospective couples can take proactive steps:
Pre-Marital Counseling: Seeking pre-marital counseling can help couples identify and address potential issues early on.
Effective Communication: Learning and practicing healthy communication skills can foster understanding and prevent misunderstandings.
Financial Planning: Discussing financial matters openly, creating a budget, and setting financial goals together can minimize conflicts related to money.
Cultivate Trust and Honesty: Building trust and being honest with each other are essential for a strong relationship.
Shared Values and Goals: Ensure that both partners have compatible values, interests, and life goals.
Work-Life Balance: Be mindful of work-life balance and make time for each other amidst busy schedules.
Support System: Develop a supportive network of friends and family to strengthen the relationship.
Continuous Effort: Marriage requires ongoing effort and commitment from both partners. Regularly show appreciation, affection, and love for each other.
Resolve Conflicts Constructively: When disagreements arise, try to resolve them calmly and constructively, focusing on finding solutions rather than assigning blame.
Remember that while these steps can be helpful, every marriage is unique, and challenges may still arise. It's important for couples to be open to seeking professional help if needed and to be committed to working together through difficult times.
