There are many causes of divorce such as physical abuse, mental abuse, lack of financial stability, etc. However, the single most common reason for divorce is marital infidelity and extra marital affairs. The pain caused by cheating husbands and cheating wives on their partners is so high that most often the other partner decides to file a divorce and break up the marriage.

And divorce rates in recent years in the U.S.A. as well as in other countries of the world have risen to alarming rates. And coincidentally, the percentage of couples that admit to having affairs outside of their marriage has correspondingly reached alarming rates. The increase in the number of websites that cater to married dating and those that cater to the needs of people seeking discreet affairs points to this phenomenon.

Extra marital affairs are definitely grounds for divorce in the courts of many countries of the world. The only way that a couple can stay married even after the discovery of cheating by one of the spouses is for the other to forgive and forget the incidents completely. Now this is not easy; but it can be accomplished with a lot of will power and determination.

However, it needs to be noted in no uncertain terms that marital affairs that end up in divorce affects not only the married partners themselves, but to a large part the children that are involved get to feel the pain of the separation. Children that are innocent to the situation get affected by collateral damage. This affects their growth and their views on marriage and family also. Forgiveness teaches children the value of this trait and allows them to learn to forgive others in their lives as they get older.

Even affairs that do not involve physical relationships but rather only emotional connections and emotional bonding can result in separation and divorce. As has been mentioned in posts published previously, emotional connections outside marriage are much more dangerous than physical connections. Social media networks are sometimes used by people to develop and form emotional connections between old friends and one needs to be cognizant of the dangers of this connection.
