7 Main Causes of Infidelity In Marriage

 Hi there, welcome back

I am certainly no relationship expert, but there has been an issue that has bothered me for such a long time, and I thought it would be nice sharing it with someone.

This article will be based on infidelity in marriage, Men they say are polygamous in nature, due to this fact, there is every tendency that a man would most likely cheat on his wife, however, in recent times, this particular issue has gone beyond the male gender, it has extended to the female gender, because of this I carried out some research and I am here to share my opinion on what causes infidelity in marriage.

        7  MAIN CAUSES OF INFIDELITY IN MARRIAGE

1. Built on the wrong Foundation: The number one cause of infidelity in marriage in recent times, is the fact that it is built on the wrong foundation.People rush into marriage without involving God in the process, they trust in their own reasoning, and when any slight problem occur, they start looking for solace outside their marriage.    
2. Not getting married for the right reasons: A lot of people get married today, not because of love but because of what they think they can achieve with it, A lot of ladies get married to rich men, because of the monetary value attached to it, likewise some men get married to women that are slim, tall, beautiful, just to flaunt her and use her to show off, such people will obviously cheat on their respective partner.
3. Issues Involving Appearance: This is a very serious factor that causes infidelity in marriage, During Marriage, it is most likely that the body will change, this issue affects women the most, especially after they give birth to children, The lady that was once slim and had a flat tummy, might go from a size 8 to a size 12, and most times men don’t understand this, they don’t have the patience and understanding to stick with the woman,some men even manage the marriage like that because of the children involved, such men become less attracted and start dating ladies young enough to be their daughters.
4. Drifting Apart: It is safe to assume that dating and getting married are two different things, In dating there are less responsibilities and couples really have the time to spice up their relationships, they go on dates, do a lot of things that will strengthen their relationship, but after marriage, children and generating income will become their priority and their love life will take a back seat, this makes a couple drift apart, and before one knows, they become like strangers living under one roof.
5. Lack of Respect: I recently read a story about a man that lost his job, as a result of this, his wife stopped cooking for him, and she was very rude and always calling him names, this drove the man outside to a woman who respected him. Respect goes a long way in preventing infidelity, if you don’t respect your husband or your wife; it can push them to someone capable of respecting them.
6. Conflict: I don’t know about you, but my peace of mind is very important to me, and I can honestly beat my chest and say peace of mind is also very important in sustaining a marriage, imagine you are in a marriage where most times, there are arguments upon arguments over the slightest of things, husbands hitting their wives, wives constantly nagging, this situation can cause a couple to look outside to find peace.
7. Living Apart: I really can’t imagine how a married couple will be living apart, when a divorce hasn’t taken place, I have heard stories of a man living abroad, and the wife is still in Nigeria for years and vice versa, I frankly don’t understand how such a marriage can work out in the long run, and how an exclusive relationship will be maintained under such conditions.

I know there are many more reasons that can cause infidelity in marriage, Any reason you feel I missed, drop it, in the comment section,  or if you don’t agree with what I wrote, still drop it, let’s learn, let’s make this as interactive as possible.
