As I said before, I can’t pinpoint a single cause for why people divorce. But in my estimation, based on observation, a failure of communication is always part of the breakdown of a marriage. Remember the opposite of love is not hate; it’s ambivalence. Non-communication is emblematic of ambivalence. I’ve also seen that people who have the happiest marriages are those who have excellent communication skills, who are able to convey their thoughts effectively, respectfully and with the precise amount of intensity. If one sees a growing inability to communicate with one’s spouse, it’s a telltale sign something is very wrong in a marriage.
